I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We had a fabulous Christmas in our new home and were very happy to stay home and NOT travel. We did our Christmas visiting the weekend prior to the Christmas weekend. We do love to see our family & friends, but it is kind of a big production to go anywhere, really. So, we were able to stay home and enjoy Christmas with our little family. My mom tried to come on Sunday, but had car trouble (motor home actually), so she wasn't able to come. She ended up coming on the next weekend. So, we cooked prime rib on Christmas Eve which was fabulous. We told the boys that they could wake up no earlier than 6am to open their gifts. At about 5:50am Gunnar woke up and he was laying next to me and about every minute he asked if it was time to get up yet. So, finally after 10 mintues I rolled out of bed. Paden woke up and proclaimed he needed to see if Santa brought him the Superman computer. I had to tell him to remember that Santa doesn't bring everything we want. So, they ran downstairs to find their gifts. They were really excited. They got some of the things they wanted. Gunnar wanted the "track-a-ho with buttons" - also known as a battery operated CAT excavator. Paden got a kitchen - yep a play kitchen. He loves it! Gunnar got some more K'nex, which are very fun. Gunnar got a guitar from Grandma with the puppies (my mom). So, we'll have to find some guitar lessons for him. Paden almost got drums from Grandma, but luckily she found him a truck instead! Of course it's a Ford! It's OK, we have the battle of Ford vs. Dodge going on in our family. Livingston vs. Peterman - Dodge vs. Ford - it's always going to be a lifelong battle! :)
Anyway, here's a couple of fabulous pictures of the boys' Christmas. We had a great, relaxing day.
