The Magic of Christmas Morning

Santa came!



The kids loved that he just left the bikes next to the tree.  They are still talking about that one this week!

Honestly, I'm not sure what else he could have done with them.

We took the training wheels off of Connor's bike that afternoon.  He's riding like a pro.

Opening the stockings:

Connor got a Cobalion EX Pokemon card

Lex got a Mewtwo EX Pokemon card

Actually, the boys got about a cubic ton of Pokemon cards this Christmas.  And they still want more, believe it or not!





Lex had been asking for the Transformers Rescue Bots Beam Box for a while.  Can you tell how excited he is about this one?

Something different happened this Christmas. Connor passed out all the presents that were under the tree, but he just kept putting his own into a pile.  He didn't actually open anything until after all the presents were distributed.  That meant that by the time Connor started opening his presents, Lex was already done opening his.

The obligatory silly Christmas tie

Uncle Chris got one, too!

This is what Lex asked Santa to bring him when he sat in his rocket sleigh at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle.

Me and my brothers

Connor is finally opening his presents!  And look, he got Legos!

It was a Texans Christmas.



And a Seahawks Christmas, too!



When Connor wrote his letter to Santa, he asked for a Seattle Seahawks helmet.

The boys and I bought Kevin a patio heater as a gift.  He had to assemble it himself.  Fortunately, he didn't seem too upset about it.

The finished product:

It's really nice to get out of the hot tub and dry off next to the heater at night when it's chilly out!
