On Christmas morning we usually wait for the boys to wake up and jump in our bed to "wake" us up. When everyone is awake, we all go out to the living room together. Lucas confessed that he always takes a sneak peak just to be sure Santa really came and then heads to our bedroom. I love this. He's done this for as long as I can remember and I remember doing the same thing as a child...oh the magic of Christmas!
He had come! Santa was here and he delievered SCOOTERS!
He had come! Santa was here and he delievered SCOOTERS!Stockings are my favorite part of Christmas presents. I've always loved the small treasures you find deep in your stocking...things you've dreamed of and others you've never even thought of. 
They boys made out like fat rats in the stocking department!
Daddy got some climbing gear...we always need more climbing gear! :)
Such a happy morning!
Lucas wanted Wuggle Pets for months. It's like a build-a-bear but it's a kit to do at home on a smaller scale. We get this funny kids show at our cabin and this was one of the commercials that he just couldn't shake! Santa came through!!!
Daddy found a very special suprise in his stocking this year. Lucas really wanted to do something special and different. After asking Aunt Kate, Mommy and a few others, he determined that a treasure hunt would be perfect. While in Orlando, Lucas spied on Daddy to see what things he liked in various stores. Daddy showed big interest in the Ghiridelli store...chocolate is always good for Daddy but it was going to require a little work on his part. DADDY'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT TREASURE HUNT! I think we have a new tradition boys!

He quickly learned that size does not matter when it comes to gifts. His big box held a Wii game along with some weights and a big sleeping bag used to make the box heavy! Sneaky Daddy!!
Axel DID.NOT.CARE about the size of his gifts!
New ear phones!
Axel loved tearing into those gifts and squealed with delight each time the present was revealed.
Shrinky-dinks! Do you remember these? I forgot just how cool they are to watch as they curl into a ball, flatten out and get tiny.
Rain coats! We are ready for spring climbing season.
Remote controlled vehicles.
Whoot! New pans for the fam!
We made a wonderful mess in between a delicious breakfast of real yeast Belgian Waffles...another new tradition! :) What a wonderful morning! I love seeing the magic of Christmas through our two amazing boys! We love you Axel & Lucas. Merry Christmas!
