Christmas morning finally came! These pics are in weird order but you will get the gist of the situation. Christmas morning after Santa came. When Tommy was just a baby Marc and I decided we would NOT be going crazy at Christmas with gifts. We open gifts with his Grandmother and Papaw, Uncle Tim and Aunt Erica and Uncle Dave, then we open with his Grandma and Grandpa and his Aunt Jay and Uncle Brian. Then Santa comes and we give him our stuff. Not to mention his birthday is two weeks after Christmas. Serious overload! We do 5 gifts each and then they give each other a present. This year Tommy got a Red Ryder BB gun, mp3 player, air hog, and a telescope. Jimmy got a Playmobile camper, Lego's, magna doodle and a truck and bass boat. Together they got a set of tools that Marc put together and they LOVED! Tommy got Jimmy connect four and Jimmy got Tommy battleship Torpedo. They were both so happy and overwhelmed. None of that is including ALL the Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles that spoiled them too! LOL



Christmas morning I always do breakfast because everyone wants to come over and see what the boys got. This year my brother Brian and his wife Jay got to spend the night with Mom and Dad so they made it over too.




Jimmy with his Camper (He wanted one soooooooooooo bad because Grandma and Grandpa just bought a real one and he is all excited about going camping on the beach for Spring break). When I tell you these pieces are little TRUST ME! You honestly need a tweezers to play with them.




Am I the only one that thinks retirement is sitting well with Dad? LOL




MMMMMMMMMM Mom made yummy prime rib! SO GOOD.

Me with Brian and Jays dog Kylie. Great Dane. Need I say more. She is honestly the sweetest dog ever.

We started celebrating in November and enjoyed every second of it. HA. Marc had the week of Christmas at home with us and I LOVED IT. Everyone thought I was crazy because I waited until then to buy all the kids stuff. You don't have to drive yourself crazy. Just make a list and STICK TO IT!!!!!!! That is the important part. Marc works his behind off providing for us every day. He happily watches as we go here and there telling him how much fun it was. Because of him these boys have me here. Together we can provide them with what they REALLY need in life. We all know that does not cost a penny. Because of that I feel like he should get to enjoy the fun of picking the second to last Red Ryder gun at Bass Pro Shops 3 nights before Christmas, even though I could have easily gotten it 3 weeks ago any day of the week. Trust me when I tell you the look on his face said it all. That was one happy man! HA. I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
