Christmas Day!

I don't think that Carter or myself, could have been more excited about Santa coming this year. It is so much fun getting ready for Santa's big arrival and waiting to open the presents with the boys.



Here we are getting the cookies and chocolate milk ready for Santa and the carrots for the reindeer. Jaxon wasn't so sure what all of the excitement was all about, but Carter was almost bouncing off the walls all night long.



Christmas morning. The waiting was almost too much for Carter. We had a great Christmas with the boys. We stayed home all day and had the grandparents over in the evening. We were able to open gifts, play, go snowmobiling, have a nap, relax and enjoy the day. It was wonderful. the boys loved their gifts, even Jaxon. Though I think he liked the wrapping paper just as much.
It didn't take long before both boys got right into the whole gift-opening thing.
As you can tell, he was very excited to open this one. He kept saying that every gift he opened was his favourite one. When he got this one unwrapped, he was speachless. He just kept smiling and letting out a little giggle. That said it all. THIS ONE was his favourite. It was a terrainiac. According to Carter, it is a remote control vehicle that can go on snow, water, land and DESERT sand (because that is what the commercial said).
Big hugs for Daddy.

Another one of Carter's favourite gifts was a Leapfrog L-Max, a learning type video game. With different cartridges, it teaches the letters, numbers, words and math skills. He could not get enough of this 'video game'. He played it all morning it seemed.See, still playing it as he waits for Daddy to get ready for their snowmobile ride. I loved it, because it is educational and he loves it because it's his first video game, so he says.


Wearing the new pj's Santa brought.Merry Christmas!
