Christmas PJ's
Santa dropped off the boys a gator to share! (Which they love and have actually shared it really well) Santa only brings each of them 3 presents so he put them all in the back of their gator. Good thing for family who spoils the kids rotten! They were opening presents for a long time! Especially Porter who would rip a small piece of wrapping paper then go all the way into the kitchen to throw it away. It was really cute. Good thing Landen showed him how to get it done otherwise it would have taken all day long!

Porter showing off the loot! He got a Big Mr. Potato Head that had 3 other Mr. Potato heads inside with a whole lot of parts.
Santa knew that Hattie needed some form of entertainment for when Mom and Dad have to put her down. So she got a play mat. She really is enjoying it.
Hattie was really excited to finally get a doll. She has wanted one for so long and now she finally has one. So maybe I made that up and she could care less, but it makes us feel better to know that our little girl has a doll!

Landen got a new leapster game this year. He got a leapster last year for Christmas and still loves the thing. He has mastered all his games so Santa thought it was time for a new one. He also got his Hot Wheels Dinosaur that he really really wanted. (We had to take him to the toy store so he could show us what a hot wheels dinosaur was because we had no clue! I don't know how in the world he decides on the things he does, but once he decides on something its set in stone.)

The boys testing out their gator.
What is it??

Isn't this every child's Christmas wish a toilet of their very own. Well Porter seems to think so! He loves his potty still! Santa got it thinking that maybe he would just get use to the idea of using a potty, but Porter has amazed us all and has already used the potty successfully!! YEAH!!

Christmas afternoon we had the Bigelows and Shaufers over for linner! ( We ate at 2:00 so it was kindof lunch and kindof dinner) We had a Thanksgiving feast for Christmas because according to Ty you can never eat to much Thanksgiving food! It was so much fun to be able to spend time with friends. Christmas time can get us a little homesick for family, but being able to spend time with friends helps out a lot. After we had linner we let the kids run wild then headed over to the Bigelows to check out their goods from Santa and eat some yummy pie! We had such a great Christmas!

What a fun Christmas! And it seems your boys made out with some great gifts! I seriously can't believe you're going to start potty-training Porter! Aaron is so not even close to being ready. Hmph. But, yay Porter!

Couple things...
love Porter's Curious George pj's! How in the world did you fit that car into your living room for Christmas?!
And, can I send Sydaleigh over to your house so Porter can give her some tips on how to use the potty???
Oh, and we had a great time at the movies with you guys too!
Glad you had a fabulous Christmas!
