Christmas 2011

We spent Christmas Eve with Justin's family this year in his parents new home.  All of his family came into town this year, so it was much more enjoyable for the boys to have cousins to play with.  On Christmas day, we had church at 9, so we didn't open Santa gifts until after Church.  It made the day go a lot quicker.  The boys also wanted to buy gifts for each other this year.  So it was fun to spend one on one time with each of them to get gifts.  What a great time of year.

The boys all got one toy, games and puzzles, and a pillow pet.  They had been begging for a pillow pet for ever.  Zayne didn't really care for opening presents, but he sure enjoyed seeing what was inside.  Justin and I felt like Christmas was a big success since there was no fighting and plenty of things to keep the boys busy all day.  Wooooohoooooo!

Got Lucky

This past weekend the boys were desperate to eat at Pizza Pie Cafe, which is still their all time favorite restaurant.  So poor me didn't get to cook Saturday night and had to go enjoy a night out.  While we were there a special visitor came to visit.  Can  you guess who?  Yep, Santa Claus.  The boys were so excited and each one of them was willing to sit on his lap and get their picture taken.  After wards we wandered the Riverwoods and saw all the lights and stopped in the toy store there for a bit to warm up.  Everyone seemed to have fun and enjoyed time as a family.  Saturday morning, Quentin also performed in his Christmas recital and did a great job.  He played his song Jingle Bell Rock. 
The pictures were all taken with Justin's camera so they turned out a bit blurry, but you get the idea.
