Christmas Day

We had another fun day on Christmas, of course. How can you not have fun when you have little kids in the house? Of course, there are a lot of pictures in this post, but it's hard for me to choose sometimes!!!

Christmas morning came and Landon came bounding into our room at 6:00 a.m. sharp! That boy has always been an early riser, but add the excitement around Christmas and he was up early most days last week! We joked and tried to get him to just wait for the twins to wake up but he of course was ready to go!! So, he and I woke up the boys, got their diapers changed and then went back to wake up daddy. By this time, all 3 boys could barely stand it - they were so cute!!! They just new Santa had come!

I don't have a shot of them coming down the stairs - I had left the camera downstairs and Dave was using one camera to video tape it all, while I grabbed the other one to get still shots. But here are a lot of them opening presents:

The first picture I took - Austin and Landon were quick to get their first one opened!!!


Aiden with his first present!!! (Funny side note - Landon's presents were the tan, Austin's blue and Aiden's red. At one point, Aiden got excited and started to open one of Landon's. We explained it was Landon's and he seemed okay - but then started pouting and saying "but I don't like red presents." Luckily he got right back at it!!!)


Landon with his new tool set - just like daddy's tools!


Aiden opening a school bus - this has been a popular toy with the boys!


Austin opening a present!


And his favorite gift...a Paper Jamz guitar!! At this point he didn't really know what it was, but he already loved it!!!


Landon with a favorite gift...LEGOS! He is so good at putting these together, too!
Austin got his very own Zhu Zhu pet!!!
Aiden checking on the underwear he got! Guess Santa agrees - they are ready to go on the big boy potty! Now if we can just get the boys to agree! :)
Austin checking out his big boy pants!
Let's just say that they both tried underwear on Christmas day (with a pull-up over top) and it did not go so well! Complete with one pair having to be cut off and thrown away. Fun times!
Just a cute one of Aiden!
All done...just look at what was left!!! Fun!

Austin jamming on his guitar...one of the many times this day!


He's pretty good!


All three boys got a Paper Jamz guitar...here's Aiden checking his out!


Aiden - all smiles with Pez in hand!!!


Austin enjoying his Pez! Very serious about it!


Austin and Aiden jamming together! I've got to post a video on here - it's pretty funny to watch them in action! Aiden gets dancing and Austin is very serious about his music, too!



Big smiles!



While the little boys were jamming, Landon was hard at work with his Kinex!!!! Looks like a lot of pieces to me!


Landon isn't really into his guitar yet...he's kind of shy about it! But we did get him to put in on for a little bit that day! Oh - and Christmas day is a pajama day, so they loved being in pj's all day!


Lunch/snack time...and more Kinex for Landon! The twins really wanted to help!


This was about 2:30 in the afternoon...and Aiden couldn't take it anymore!!! So tired!


Looks sort of comfortable! Landon being silly...with his favorite little toy - a transformer!


Austin was working hard on some coloring that afternoon!



Landon had to color, too! A good quiet activity!


And time to play with some Matchbox toys!


Then I look over and Dave and Aiden were both asleep!!! Christmas is exhausting!


Landon ended the afternoon by doing both is Star Wars Legos without ANY help! Way to go Landon!

I love the tongue sticking out! :-)

It was a great day...Merry Christmas!
