Merry Christmas!

Praise the Lord for sending his son as a precious baby to this earth to teach us how to live and love and to die on the cross for our salvation! And, to celebrate this precious gift the Lord has given us, our boys were blessed with lots of fun and gifts this morning!

Thank you to all our family that sent gifts. We miss being with you this Christmas! Here are a few photos from this morning’s mayhem. We are enjoying a quiet family day at home with all these new goodies to explore!

Baby Lance is up first and wondering what is taking his brothers so long to get down and open presents! Greg went upstairs to get the boys up and then I heard the bathtub running, which is usually a sign that someone has woken up sick. Our current little trouble-maker, Eric, came down with the stomach bug that Aaron had last week. Poor guy, the one day we let him rip-roar through the house and he’s sick.

But, let’s flashback to yesterday when Aaron helped make some Christmas cookies with his little brother, Lance, who likes to sneak up behind him.

We opened up some of the gifts from Grandma Gloria the day before Christmas. I knew there were some cute new PJs she had sewed.

Here they are the night before Christmas. I wanted them to look all cute and open presents in the morning in them. And, they would have if Eric hadn’t gotten sick all over them the next morning. I think next year I’ll save the cute PJs to put on the next morning just in case!

Grandma Gloria also sent some cute and snuggly blankets for each boy. They are great, thanks!!

We got everyone cleaned up and put together enough to come and see what Santa had brought them. Grant decided he wanted to put on a stocking cap to complete his outfit.

Santa brought Aaron a remote control moon to put in his room that shows each phase of the moon.

Eric came down and played about one minute in the tent before…

…ugh, “I feel sick, mommy”. Shortly after this we went back upstairs and Eric slept, and got sick a little more. Nope, never a day off around here!

Aaron made daddy a special Christmas tree.

We saved Eric’s presents for when he got up. Here he’s feeling much better and ate a little bit. He’s already doing much better! Quick little stomach bug, I hope!

Yes indeed, this is the best picture I could get of all of them together. The twins love their new little animal chairs from Grandma Terri and Papa Jerry! And, baby Lance is ready for a nap.

Despite the unexpected sickies, we’ve had a wonderful day. Gonna go now to check on my boys and enjoy the rest of the day! Merry Christmas!
