Christmas Morning

This was our first Christmas - since having kids - that we were able to celebrate Christmas morning in our own home.  Previous years, we had always made the trip back home from TX but this year it was delightful to get to see our boys walk down their steps on Christmas day. 
We began with gifts from Santa and stocking stuffers.
Santa brought Bryson his first bike!
After stockings, we ate pancakes before opening presents.
I love this picture - Brode did this all by himself.
Brothers, in their new "puppy dog" robes!

Bryson opening gifts.
The boys did awesome taking turns!
Bryson LOVED his new puppy!
And so did Brode!
One of Bryson's favorite gifts - Thomas the Trains.
One of Brode's favorite gifts - Lightsaber!

My favorite memories from Christmas morning: 
1. Overhearing Bryson walk up to his Daddy, giving him a big hug and saying, "I love you Dadda!" It was priceless.
2. Watching Brode open a PS3 Angry Bird game. His reaction, "This is the best Christmas ever!!" I love how they take delight in the smallest things.
3. Being able to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning in our own home.
