Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning started early around here.  Ryker was up 6:20 asking for water, coughing, and burning up.  I gave him a breathing treatment, some Motrin, and water and he climbed in bed with us and fell back asleep pretty quickly.  Camden woke up about an hour later and came in bed with us too.  He fell back asleep and we all woke up finally around 8:20 and headed downstairs to see what Santa brought!
Santa found these awesome colored pencils made out of sticks that Ryker thought were too cool!

Santa gets our boys one big gift and fills their stockings.  Ryker's big gift this year was an Imaginext castle.  Ryker kept saying, "Santa got me X, just like I asked for!"  Sooo cute!

Camden was more interested in eating breakfast when he first came downstairs.

Ryker had to get his dragon from Nonno and Nonna to see how it would interact with the castle.  The knights yell, "Dragon!  Run!" when you roar the dragon near the castle.  Pretty cool!

After Camden finished eating, he was all about opening up his gifts.

Ryker got some new movies!

Cam's big gift was a LOL Elmo


To say that he liked is an understatement.

Once Santa's gifts were opened, it was time to pass out the rest.  Ryker loves this part!

They had a Santa shop at Ryker's preschool again this year.  He got Cam a teddy bear.  They were loving on each other but I didn't have the camera ready.  Cam was still cheesing it though!

We bought Cam a play smart phone.  The best part about seeing him play with it was when he held out from his face and cheesed it up like he was taking a picture of himself.  It was hilarious!

Ryker was pretty psyched about his Batmobile.

When we moved in to Mom and Dad's we only brought light jackets thinking we would be out by the end of October at the latest.  Dad let Robert borrow some of his jackets when necessary.  Robert has fallen in love with one particular coat of Dad's.  I bought him this one because it is so much like Dad's coat and he can take it with us when we move. :-)

I also managed to sneak Robert's diploma out and get it framed.  He was thrilled and can't wait to put it up in his new office.

My sweet boy watching me open his gift to me.  In the middle of opening his stocking stuffers, he stopped and asked, "But, what about the presents I got you? We need to open those!"  Such a big heart he has and I love him so much for it!

Uncle Dave, Aunt Kate, and Hudson came over around 11:00.  We had a delicious brunch and then opened gifts.

Nana and Papaw got Cam his very own robe so he and Ryker can match.  Cam loved wearing it and was mad when I tried to take it off.  He got some new stuffed farm animals from Uncle Dave and Aunt Kate that he was pretty interested in.
The boys' last gift was a riddle with a clue leading them on a hunt for their last present.  Ryker LOVED it!  He opened clues in the laundry room, dining room, living room, and their room, before finally heading to the office...

To see their new play kitchen.  Mom and I found this incredible three-piece set while we were in Ohio in September and have been hiding it in the attic ever since.  Ryker thought it was pretty cool, but Camden LOVED it!  He didn't want to come back downstairs to finish opening presents.

He cheered up when I let him wear my new ear warmers.  He loves wearing hats!

Robert bought me a new camera for Christmas which I was thrilled about.  After letting it charge up, it was time to experiment.  Hudson enjoyed some time in the Johnny Jumper while everyone else played cards. 
We played Horse, Spoons, Egyptian Ratscrew, and even Operation. ;-)
