Christmas 2014 Recap - In Brief

When we put the boys to bed on Christmas Eve, we discussed what time would be acceptable to wake up in the morning.  Connor wanted to open presents at 5:00 AM, but we negotiated that we would wake everyone up and start opening presents no earlier than 6:45 AM.

And it was definitely before 7:00 AM when the boys woke up and got everyone else out of bed.

These kids are very happy.

Connor got this shirt from Nana and Grandpa, and it reads, "Genius but I prefer Brain Ninja."  Lex got one, too.

While Connor was posing for the photo with his new shirt, Lex was shoving an unopened present down the back of the shirt that he was wearing.  Because brothers.

Pokemon-themed Monopoly.  I think Connor won the first game ever played.

The boys received a set of remote control cars from Uncle Jim and Aunt Carol, and they loved them.


Of course they made them battle each other.  Because brothers.

When we set up the camera and tripod to take the Official Christmas Family Photo, Lex decided that he wanted to be the photographer.  So, the best photos this year don't have Lex in them.

As you can see, he wasn't interested at all in being in the photo.

But who cares, right?  I mean, it's Christmas and we are happy!

Merry Christmas!
