Christmas Day...Oh My!!

Wow, what a Christmas! Jackson was up at 3am. He came and woke me up to tell me he couldn't sleep. I went to lay down with him. I fell asleep but he didn't. He woke me back up at 4am to tell me that it was snowing. He finally went to sleep and I didn't feel another poke until about 6:15am! We then had to get the babes, Mimi and Popsy up and going. Things were a blur from then on! There was paper being thrown everywhere and happy shouts as the kids opened up their presents. If you get a thank you note for something you didn't give the kids or the note doesn't include every gift, please know that it wasn't intentional. I just couldn't keep up this year! Michael, Kristin and sweet Duncan came over Christmas afternoon and we opened gifts with them. Since Duncan was so small, Ainsleigh and Cooper helped open her gifts for her. We had fun visiting with them until the weather cut their visit short. The snow started sticking to the roads so they headed out early. All in all ....a wonderful Christmas. As Jackson informed us at breakfast...only 365 days until Christmas!






Our first tree in the bonus room with lots of presents. The tree downstairs was equally as overloaded with gifts.






















Jackson's gift from Santa...a telescope. Too bad it snowed the first two nights after Christmas!

Ainsleigh and Cooper's gift from Santa...a Mercedes SUV. Too cute!

Jackson and all of his presents. Way too many!

Ainsleigh with her gifts.

Cute Cooper with some of his gifts. I am not sure where the rest of them are.

Ainsleigh loves her Princess Activity set from Gaga.

A cool car hauler from Gaga. He has logged a bunch of miles already.

Oh my! I am not sure if this gift was for Jackson or Taylor! Daddy had Mimi and Popsy running around looking for the ACDC Paper Jamz. Both "kids" have been rocking to it alot.

The Sole Skate from Papa and Grandma. Jackson rode it in the hallway for two days to perfect his techniques before heading outside!

Ainsleigh loves the books that she and Cooper got from Papa and Grandma.














A new version of Battleship. Pretty cool if I say so myself.

Mickey ornament for our tree next year.

Jackson got two Alabama shirts.

Ainsleigh loved her "warm" jammies from Gaga.

Cooper was our weather man. He kept updating us on the snow all morning. Can you believe we actually had a white Christmas?

Ahhh, the madness!

Cooper really knew what was going on this year.

Ainsleigh and Cooper both had trouble with the bows again this year. They did know how to tear into the paper though.

"Riding" in the car. Santa was smart and didn't put the battery in the car. It took them all day to figure out that it wasn't moving.










I hope Ainsleigh and Cooper won't have to share a car when they turn 16! She was ready to go....her baby, fruit snacks, paci and a Barbie!

Sleeping bags from Uncle Michael and Aunt Kristin. Ainsleigh got a bunny and Cooper got a duck.

They did such a good job sharing...wonder how long that will last.

Snow on Christmas night.

Using lots of gifts....Ainsleigh with her baby in matching jammies from Papa and Grandma sitting in the tent from Uncle Michael and Aunt Kristin watching Loony Tunes cartoons from Gaga. Life is great!
