The boys were so much fun this year! Michael has been so excited! We had to buy a little count down to Christmas tree to try to help him know how many more days until Christmas because he was a little confused. At first he thought that the whole month of December was Christmas and then when the day came to get the Christmas tree he thought that day was Christmas. The count down tree didn't help very much though because he was more interested in the candy in it than which day we were on! When we went to see Santa at the mall Michael was very excited! We had to wait in a little line and Michael stood next to me quietly the whole time (which means that he was thinking hard because he NEVER stands still!) I don't know how Mason knew what was going on but when it was our turn Michael ran right to Santa and sat on his lap but Mason without even looking at Santa started walking the other way! So I had to sit next to Santa with Mason on my lap to get a picture but Mason was trying to get away the whole time! The picture turned out really blurry though (I hate my camera!) So after going to my Grandma Elmore's house for Christmas Eve dinner, putting cookies out for Santa, and going to bed, CHRISTMAS WAS FINALLY HERE! I knew for sure that Michael would be up bright and early but I was wrong! Mason woke us up at 9:00 so we went and got him and got coffee going and then went and woke Michael up at 9:19! It took him a minute to wake up but after I told him it was Christmas day he decided to get up. Santa had to put the toys in the playroom this year instead of the living room like he normally does because the toys were too big to move to the playroom later. So when we went out into the living room the boys started looking for a present that Santa left but couldn't find one so we told them to look in the playroom. Michael had quite the list of things that he wanted from Santa but the one thing that was always on the top of the list was a kitchen and when he would change the items on his list the kitchen always stayed. So when we told him that Santa was only bringing one gift he said all he wanted was a kitchen. Then when he found out that Mason had asked for a train table he decided that he wanted a train table. I kept reminding him that he already asked for a kitchen so then he decided Santa was bringing him both! So I was very anxious to see what happened when they saw what Santa left. Of course as soon as Michael walked in the room he said "Look Santa brought me a train table!" Mason thought that the train table was cool too but Michale kept sending him back to the kitchen! Mason acted like he liked the kitchen a little though. So then we went to open presents. I was having so much fun watching them open their presents that I forgot to take any pictures! Every present that Michael opened he would yell "What!" and then tell us what it was. Mason is such a neat freak that he would tare one piece of and then say "here, here" so someone would through it away for him before he would open any more! Out of everything the favorite presents were the ones that Uncle Conor sent. He sent Mason a basketball and after Mason opened that one he wouldn't open any more! So we had to take the ball until he opened a present and then we would give it back. For Michael he sent a set of Galaxy Guns that light up and make noise when you pull the trigger and I don't know any little boy that wouldn't find that to be the coolest present ever! Wow sorry for the long novel! This is more for me to be able to look back and remember this Christmas but if you did read the whole thing I hope you enjoyed it. Now here are some pictures from the day!
On Christmas Eve before going over to my Grandma Elmore's house we stopped at my Grandma Johnson's house and had a good visit with my Grandma, Dad, and Uncle Monte. My dad is so much fun with the kids! Here they are riding him like a horse.
My dad got Mason the Wack a Mole game for Christmas. Mason doesn't quite understand that he is supposed to only wack the mole when it lights up he just has fun wacking it over and over and over!
I really wanted to get a good picture of the boys in there Christmas outfits. Michael kept taking his sweater off becuase it was "too hot". So as we were leaving my Grandma Johnson's house I had them stand in front of her tree. Cartoons were on the t.v. though so I couln't get one with both of them looing at me and not the t.v.!
The train table was a hit! After explaining to Michael that Mason knows it is not his (wink, wink) he let Mason play too. It took a couple of days for the train table to get old before they played with the kitchen but now both toys get played with equally.
Mason did open a couple of presents at my moms house on Christmas morning. Even with all of that paper on the floor next to him he still gave me each piece to throw away for him! He eventually stopped opening presents to help pick up the mess!
Michael was a present opening machine! He didn't even look at the present inside he just opened them! So when Mason gave up becuase of the mess Michael opened his for him!
My mom got Michael this cowboy sheriff get up, and boy does he love it! He didn't take it off for two whole days and wants to wear it everywhere he goes. She even got him handcuffs which of course he loves but Mason and the dogs are not so happy about it!
