Christmas Morning

Jack and Shawn came downstairs at 4:15!!!!!
 I sent them back to bed until 5:00......they were up the whole time....just waiting in their beds.
 One by one, everyone started to wake up.



 Matthew was the last one up...........hard to get up out of his cozy bed!
 He did manage to find the socks he wanted in his stocking...............he wore them for the next three days straight!
 Shawn was hoping this big gift was goalie gear, but it turned out to be an army set.  He was a good sport.....goalie gear is just too expensive for Santa to make.
 All Molly wanted was a guitar!




 Grammie got all the boys the same gift this year......
 .....hockey coats!




 Jack got Matthew a dart board!
 And Matthew got Jack a fryer!


 Molly was so excited because she wanted to make a recipe we had looked at the day before that involved a fryer we didn't have.

 Again, jumping for joy!
 Her next favorite gift was a sound machine, so she could hear the waves of the ocean and the rain....go figure?






 The guitar was played all day long.........and daddy even made a song all about Molly.
 Grampa came up with his version..............corny as usual...ha, ha!


What a wonderful few days filled with family, hugs and gift giving.

Christmas Eve

Another crazy Christmas eve.........






 Nice that Chris was the photographer of the night........I was able to be in some pictures this year.  :)


 Molly's grab gift.......
 ...chocolate!


 I don't think she will want to trade!
 Nick was a good sport with a nutcracker, but it was soon taken by Charlie.

 Nani got a vineyard vines coozie............by the look on Kate's face, I think she wanted it.......Miss Vineyard Vines herself!

 This was a different Chrismas for Matthew.........he wanted clothes and a new bed...so grown up!
 Lots of hugs to go around.

 Molly was surprising as the MC of the night, calling out the presents from under the tree.


 Grampa's favorite cookies!








 The cutest sweatshirt ever!
 Our Christmas pose.........
 ..........at ease.......



 Then it was time for jammies and ornaments.
 Matthew the football player.
 Shawn got a kindergarten ornament.
 Jack got a golfer.
 And Molly lost her first tooth this year.

Goodnight.................but not for long........
