Christmas!

This was by far the best Christmas yet for all of us! It is so magical to see the ideals of Christmas through the eyes of your children. Austin is just starting to get it and Caleb fully understands Christmas this year. All of it!

It started when we were putting up the Nativity Set. Caleb was helping me put it together while Austin was sleeping. He grabbed the manger out and ran around the house saying, "I've got baby Jesus," over and over again! If only he really knew what he was saying! It was the cutest thing I have seen and might be my favorite memory from this year.

Everything from the count down, to wrapping presents, Caleb wanted to be a part of it. He was a great tape holder and did an amazing job keeping a secret! I was so surprised that he was able to keep the surprises for so long!

Austin helped out in big ways too. He went shopping with me and helped me pick out gifts. As it turns out, apparently he did the same thing with Jason :) Austin was much more in amazement of the Christmas Tree. He absolutely loved the ornaments and all the fun holiday things that we had decorated around the house. Gramie actually bought a talking Santa that shook his but to "move it!" That was pretty funny and Austin's favorite decoration this year.

So here are some pictures from our Christmas morning!

This is actually Christmas Eve, in front of the tree outside their bedrooms. This has the ornaments on it that they can touch!

Austin with his new golf clubs!

Caleb and his new batcave!

Austin and his new bike!

The boys opening up Woody and Buzz Lightyear! They were so excited!
