Christmas 2011

We have truly loved spending our first Christmas in our new house and loved having our family here to spend the holidays with us. The boys helped to decorate the tree this year -- the total number of ornament casualties totaled only three.

The tree in the dark (FYI: I still love my camera!)

The boys in Benjamin's Santa hat:


Ethan was so excited to put cookies out for Santa. He and Benjamin wrote notes for Santa and each pick the cookies they thought Santa would like the best.

Christmas morning. The boys waited patiently for Papaw, Ms. Sharon and Uncle Evan to get to our house (the boys woke up at the standard 5:45am and we did not open presents until 9:00am).

Before the chaos:

Benjamin and Ethan helped to sort every ones presents. (You know, to see who got more presents from Santa...)

Ms. Sharon, Papaw and Uncle Evan debating opening gifts.

We were so glad Gebee was able to spend two nights with us -- the boys loved waking up and seeing her! We also got the chance to spend time visiting with Uncle Randy, Aunt Kay, Jason and Matt. Here is Gebee with 4 of her grandsons. (Of note: the boys are wearing house coats and slippers from Uncle Randy and Aunt Kay and Spiderman Jammies from Gebee!)

We hope that your holiday season has been filled with family, fun and food as well as a few surprises!

Santa surely did not miss Benjamin and Ethans house.
It was a great Christmas!
