We had great Christmases this year! We first celebrated with my side of the family. Here are the four grandkids in their matching pjs. Love them! My mom keeps trying to convince us (and our husbands) to get matching ones with them. Wouldn't that be cute, grown ups in long johns??!
Christmas Eve we let the kids each open one present. Of course Cooper picked the biggest one. It's a fire station set and he LOVES it. It squirts real water, which he demonstrated to me as I was laying down today! (he got me right in the face, quite a surprise!)
Here is my attempt at getting a picture of the boys with Lily. Poor Lily.
Awww...
Christmas morning! Had to show this picture at our sad tree. After only being up about a week the top 2/3 of the lights went out! We could not fix it so we spent a few weeks with a very poorly lit tree :).
Cooper finding his stocking.
and Jackson getting into the presents!
Jackson loved the shopping cart Santa got him...
and Cooper LOVED the bakugans (spelling??) Santa got him! Love this face. They're these Japanese anime things (I don't even know if I'm spelling that right!) but he likes them because they're balls, and when you throw them they open up to a little character. A friend had them and he loves them.
Inside his stocking was a giant chocolate football. He of course had to give it a try.
Jackson tried it too!
This is just a funny story. A week or two before Christmas we realized we had squirrels in our attic. Fun fun. We had some people come out to catch them and came out a bunch of times before we finally caught one. Well, another one was still getting in, so they left a few traps around for a few days. Well of course, Christmas morning, what do we hear?? A squirrel caught in a trap outside! We didn't want to call the pest control people since it was Christmas day, so Ryan and my dad drove it to a nearby park to let it go. At least we caught the thing!
After the squirrel episode we went to my parents' house for another Christmas. Yes, those presents behind them are pretty much all for the kids. They're very lucky (and kind of spoiled :))!
Jackson was in love with this reindeer and carried it around the entire morning.
Cooper loved this dump he got. He's very into Toy Story 3 right now.
Oooh, another favorite! His personalized cape from Uncle Ross! I love this face, he is ready to save the world!
Jackson even got a cape but I couldn't get him to pose with the kids.
This was Jackson's big present, a kitchen! I love it, Ryan made a little fun of it, especially with Jackson wearing this slightly girly outfit. I happen to think it, and him, are adorable! :)
Christmas morning family photo. Jackson doens't look too thrilled but I promise, he had fun!
Two days later we were on the road to Kansas! I'll post those pictures next.

Looks like fun! I have to say my mom puts us all in matching jams every year, husbands and all! They vary a little, but still we match!
Hilarious! Sounds like a busy busy Christmas! We have matching jammies too... don't have to be long johns or tight. Some nice comfy flannel pajamas... aaahhh. Must say though... the guys don't think they are so great... but thrown in a Henley T? Perfect. (uhhh... why am I spending so much time talking about jammies when there are great pics of kids?!)
Love Jackson and his reindeer and kitchen. Boys need to cook too!
