Our Christmas!

For the last several years we have celebrated our own Christmas on December 23. The guys were more than excited to finally be able to open some of those presents under our tree.



We stuck a few little things in their stockings at home this year.




This year was very different in that Conner and Ben completely understand what presents are now and they will do anything to find out what is inside of those packages. They tore into their own presents and then helped Nick and I open ours as well! I loved seeing them so excited!


We saved the two biggest presents for last...



A guitar! Conner is our little music man and we knew he would enjoy having a "big boy" guitar!



And a new drumset! We knew that both boys would enjoy having something new to bang on! Some friends told us that we were crazy for getting them such loud toys (and maybe we are) but when you have two kids the same age, you don't care how loud they are... you just care that they are occupied!!!



Ben discovered that the headset actually works as a microphone!



Conner's turn...

Another great Christmas celebration with my guys... I am so very blessed to call the three of you my family!
