The kids were soooo cute at Christmas! I can't believe how fun they made it for me. You have already read about Josh and his questions. Well, he had a million questions about Santa. He wanted to know how to get to the North Pole, why wouldn't we see Santa when he stopped at our house, and all about the naughty/nice lists. I think he wanted to know exactly how good he needed to be to guarantee presents.
Christmas morning was the best. Our kids are early risers - usually up around 6:30 AM. We had a late night at Gram's on Christmas Eve after the service at church, eating cookies, drinking punch and opening presents. Josh called it the "cookie party" and it was definitely his kind of party...juice with ice cream and as many cookies as he could ever want. Lucas slept right through the "cookie party" and was up before 6:30 as usual. Josh kept sleeping until Richard started nudging him around 8 because we were anxious to get things started. Josh and Richard called down the stairs to me, "Did Santa come?" Josh's face was full of wonder as he looked around my parents' living room and saw all of the presents and the stockings that Santa had left for him and Lucas.
This is the toy I was most excited to give to Lucas...Parents Block Party!!!! He and Josh have had sooooo much fun climbing on and rolling down these giant wedges and cubes.
Richard reading Josh a dinosaur pop-up book
Josh and Ethan playing with pirate ship from Carrie. Josh couldn't believe that she knew just what he wanted... He kept saying, "How did you KNOW?" 
Our niece Leah and her Christmas morning surprise...Sunny, the adorable grey striped kitten
The whole family or at least as many as I could get in one picture... I think we had 25 people at mom and dad's house on Christmas! The most ever and the family is still growing!
Josh and his cousin, Bradley, at Richard's parents' house. Aren't boys in jammies too cute!?!?!!
