Christmas Day

The boys were SO excited on Christmas morning.
I woke up to Saxon whispering in my ear "looks like I've been good!"
After numerous threats of "you're going to be on the naughty list..." he had to run out and check.  Once we finally woke up Bridger and Dalton, we crept out to the living room to see what Santa brought.
(Bridger decided to do "mustache!" for the picture)
Both big boys got big wheels from Santa:

The big boys were so excited about their stockings:

I don't think Dalton could have cared less.
In fact...he started to get a little annoyed that we were shoving wrapped presents at him.
He kept shoving them back at us.
He did like Bridger's big wheel though...

Saxon got a new winter coat,
Bubs got some Star Wars Figures.
He got Obi wan Kenobi and he calls him "wan kenobi-wan kenobi".  It's so funny!

Uncle Kasen gave Bridger a PSP and some games, and he gave Saxon a remote control car and some PSP games.  They were so excited!  Bridger's PSP came in a case and when he opened it, he said "Kasen got me a briefcase!!!"  He was just so excited that Uncle Kasen sent him something that he didn't even care.  He was even more excited when he discovered what was in the briefcase :)

Pops, Uncle Nathan, and Deanna sent the boys some cool Harry Potter Legos.
Bridger carries his Lego guys all over the house playing with them...
Finally a smile from Dalton...
It was because he discovered that Santa brought him Peeps and Candy Canes!
Later that day, he fell in love with his new Little People sets, but it took him a while to stop ignoring us.

The boys opening their presents from Mike.
Mike had everything labeled, but we accidentally gave Bridger the wrong box.
So while Saxon opened a toy, Bridger opened a box of batteries.
He was kind of confused, but ever since, all the batteries in the house have been known as "Bridger's batteries."  Each time a game needs batteries, Saxon will say "Well...you better ask Bridger for some...Mike gave him a TON of batteries!"
Mike gave the boys a Duck Hunting game to share.
We watched a YouTube video of it and decided that we'd better wait and try it outside :)
And the toy that Bridger was supposed to open instead of the batteries...
A HOTWHEELS Racetrack!!!!
He was SO EXCITED!
It was the one thing that he really wanted for Christmas!
After opening presents all morning, we made Kneaders recipe French Toast for breakfast.
Gregor and Joy came over and we exchanged gifts with them.
Then we went to church, and after, Jeff & Meg and the girls came over.
We visited with them for a while and exchanged gifts.
Wrigley was so excited to see Dalton that he was bouncing on him.
It was so funny.  Good thing he's sturdy.  I think he liked the attention too.
After visiting with Jeff & Meg we drove up to Heber to see Nate's family.
We spent the rest of Christmas up there, and then headed home to try to put our house in order since Nate had to work early Monday morning.
It was such a fun day and went by way too fast!  I wish it could have lasted twice as long...
