Christmas 2011!

Christmas 2011, I don’t think Santa over looked our house.  In fact, with all the presents under the tree, he might have accidently stopped by the house a couple times.  1 month later we are still trying to find homes for all the gismos and gadgets Santa brought to our home.

As if the mass quantities of presents were not evidence enough of Santa’s presence, the devoured cookies sealed the deal.   

Our early riser was the first one down the stairs around 6:30 am.  Merry Christmas Case!

Sleepy head Cole didn’t want to go down the stairs alone so he hitched a ride on mama’s hip. 

 

Merry Christmas Cole!  I love you!

With everyone awake and dressed for some fun (insert silly hats) we started the morning with breakfast. 

We were lucky enough to get Lele, PaPe and Uncle Jason as visitors for Christmas again this year.  Hooray for family and more fun hats!

Our families long honored Christmas breakfast tradition of Dunkin Donuts and Poinsettia mimosas lives on even hundreds of miles away in Colorado.

First order of business, passing out Christmas stockings and sacks.  Case played Santa and handed out everyone’s goodies.  Here is a bag for you dad.

Balls, stamps, cars and toys-a-plenty were filling up the boys stockings. 

Handmade cards for Lele, DVD's for Uncle Jason and (of course) golf balls for Pape and a whistle for fun. Santa must have filled up at the gas station because every grown up received lottery tickets! Unfortunately, no big winners this year.

Santa brought daddy something for his gun.

Mommy was just super happy to have her boys close.  Christmas round one was over.  Now its on to the second part, presents!
