Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful Christmas. The kids were all thrilled with everything and we had a wonderful day.
They were so excited to see the tree and their presents! Luckily they slept in until 9:30.
Our primary presidency has asked the kids to each get their own scriptures for this next year. The kids were actually really excited to get these complete with case. They are so heavy! The boys love them and insist on carrying them around.
The kids and I watched the old Batman the other day (I actually had to fast forward most of it so they wouldn't be scared). They loved these masks.
Hunter asked for "Power Rangers" all season. We gave him a little bag with Power Rangers on it. So much for this guy. That was his favorite gift. He now carries about 3 bags everywhere he goes filled with everything in the toy room.
Superman Costume. After hearing about this all month, asking Santa for it numerous times-Lincoln decided that it was too big, and opted to wear the Superman T-shirt he got instead. Kids!
Palmer got a Smartcycle from Santa.
Adobe Lightroom! This was a total surprise as Josh and I had decided not to give each other presents this year. I have spent multiple hours trying to figure this out-I have barley scratched the surface and it is so FUN!
I love my boys.
Opening the Wii. Josh bought this a long time ago. It is good because I have heard that they are sold out once again this year.
This is our special Christmas breakfast tradition. Egg Casserole, sausage and homemade doughnuts.
The boys played the Wii straight for 3 days! I decided to let them get it out of their system...don't think that happened.
Josh's mom puts on a great party every Christmas. It was a lot of fun.
Power Ranger helmet. It talks, lights up and everything.
Superman! Can you tell Lincoln is a little obsessed?
Playground for the Wii. Palmer has wanted this forever. Grandma Ann totally scored with everyone this year!
Madden 2009-Josh is a man with limited interest. Sports and more sports.
Josh's mom gave me Guitar Hero! I loved it! We played this game last summer at Bear Lake with Josh's work. It is addictive. Thanks Mom!
The boys wanted to play. Josh played and they held the guitar. Worked for everyone.
All this excitement is a lot for a little boy to handle. Lincoln crashed around 5:00 pm.
I have wanted to start the tradition of sleeping by the Christmas tree on Christmas night for a while. I thought this year was a good year as the boys were older...lasted 5 minutes. Oh well, maybe next year.

First off I can not believe your boys slept until 9:30 that is amazing. I was always bugging my parents between the hours of 5-7 ha ha and that picture of Hunter with the power rangers mask, priceless!

You do a great job taking care of your boys. I don't think I will know what to buy for Kody when he is older. I only know how to do Princesses and babies.
