First Christmas of the year


Yesterday we had our first Christmas get together of the year.  Matthew's parents will be out of town for Christmas visiting his sister in Arizona so we had Christmas a few weeks early.  Matthew's sister Amanda and her new hubby in Arizona weren't able to make it (which we hated, becaues we miss them) but all of his other siblings and their spouses/kids were able to.  What a day we had.  There are 6 kids right now and 4 are under 2.  We had mexican for lunch and pizza (the Christmas tradition) for dinner, so it was an all day affair.  The younger kids all got naps but Noah's was only about 30 minutes, he definetly could of used more.  We had some crazy moments and pictures were borderline impossible with that many little ones.  Overall it was still a great day hanging out Matthew's family including his parents.  He loves hanging out with his brothers, and I love all their wives so it's always a good time!  And Noah loves his cousins, Carson is too young but I know he will someday as well!
I didn't know how Noah would do this year with presents because he hasn't opened any since his birthday which was in January.  Almost a year ago!  Well when he saw boxes in a pile he was ready to open them and did manage to do most of it, but I had to help a little.  Once he opened the first thing with little trucks, that is all he wanted was them out of the box to play with.  but we got him to finish the rest of the presents first.  He got some great things and I was excited too since we have some new toys to play with.  I don't think he does but I get bored with the toys he has.  Carson missed out, he was napping so mom opened up his presents for him! 
I have been a little forgetful lately and forgot the camera so we didn't get any pictures of Noah and the day or the presents but I did take some after we got home.  I think we were all ready for bed. 

Here is out tired little man, watching Chugginton before bed and notice all the trucks he got for Christmas, there are ten of them  next to him and he had to line them all up on the couch while he watched TV, funny kid!
(cute look with the hiked up pajamas, huh?)
Random picture of Carson from this morning, got a good smile out of him! 
 I guess he was excited about his new toys as well! 
 Noah playing with his new Chugginton trains this morning.  He got a  track too, but they didn't last long on there, he has been playing with them all over the house this morning
on the couch.......
 lying down playing with them, haha.......
                                           on the side table in the living room.......
Then  the trains ate lunch with him and are now in bed with him napping!!  I think we are going to have to get a few more!
