Christmas 2009 (Part II)

Okay, so we finished up at Brent's grandparents, I think. We came home to let Brody take a nap (something that has become a rarity these days...) because we knew that it would be a late night. Thankfully, he fell asleep on the way home and napped for a couple of hours.

Later that evening we headed to my Mamaw and Papaw Webb's. The boys wore their matching outfits that they wore to church on Christmas Sunday (but they wore black cords instead of jeans on Sunday). I thought they looked precious. Brent thinks it is silly for me to dress them alike since they are boys. But I know that I wont be able to do it for long, so I think an occasional matching outfit is okay, right?

We tried to get a pic of my Dad with both boys, but Brody has just become UNcooperative lately when it comes to pictures. I used to could get the child to pose and smile for any picture that I wanted, but now he wants nothing to do with it. And Beckett, well, I guess you can't expect a 3 month old to smile on cue.

After we ate and visited at the Webb's, we headed to my Mawaw Sharon and Papa's house to visit and play games. We played a version of Family Fued that was hilarious...and so much fun. Definately something that we will be doing again!

Finally, we got back home around 11:00 or so. (And we saw snow flurries as we were driving in! Fun!) We got the boys in bed, and Santa got to work. Ryan and Tara were staying the night with us too, so they helped us set everything up. I think I was in bed by 1:00 or so. Wouldn't have been too bad except Beckett was up to eat around 3:00, then he was up for good around 6:00. We played on the couch for a while, waiting for everyone else to get up.

Finally, around 7:30, I heard Brody calling me, so Beckett and I got him and Daddy, and headed into the living room to see what Santa brought. Brody was excited, but a little nervous, I think. I don't know if he was expecting Santa to be perched on the couch or what...

He first went to his animated dinosaur and Chuck the Talking Truck....

Then his golf clubs

And his soccer net and Geotrax train set...

He LOVED his golf bag, and wanted to carry it around all morning.

This is what Beckett did through most of the Santa hoop-lah:

Santa also brought them matching shirts (Sorry Brent)

Later that morning Mom, Cliff and Brooke came over for breakfast. Brent made a breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls. It was yum.

Brody opened his guitar.

And Lincoln Logs!

For lunch, we went to my dad and Karen's. Brody got this cute apron since he loves helping in the kitchen so much ;)

Beckett hung out with my Papaw while we doted over Brody opening all of his presents.

This KidJamz music/DJ station thingie was one of Brody's favorite. That, his guitar, and bicycle were top 3 I would have to say. But he loved EVERYTHING, and got waaay too much.

We had an amazing Christmas this year. God has blessed me so much. I tried to spend every moment enjoying Christmas through the eyes of my babies. There just is nothing like watching their joy and happiness. They are two very special little boys who are loved so much!

I will end with a couple of pictures of Beckett in his new walker. How cute is this?! He isn't quite big enough for it yet, but we just had to try it out.
