Christmas 2012

After 5 Christmases and much travel, the time was here...Christmas!

On Christmas Eve, we left out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.

Too excited to go to sleep.

Since Granny and Pop don't have a fireplace, we have to put out Santa's magic key.  It's a key that only works for Santa that lets him in the house.

Maxer hanging the key.

Then it was time for our reading.  We read Twas the Night Before Christmas and the birth story of Jesus that's in the Bible.

Mommy took pictures before she let us in the room Christmas morning. Look, Santa came!  Maddox's stack.

Mason's

Max's (that pile in between our stacks was a stack of the "to both of us" gifts).

My stack.

Time to head into the living room.

Mason's first power wheel.

Mason eating the leftover cookies.

Lego watches.

In typical Mason fashion, he was more interested in the food than the gifts.

Maxer got a DS.  He was pumped.

Mason and his piano

Star Wars shoes!

They have light sabers that light up when you walk.

I think this expression says it all...

Pop helping Mason open gifts.

New toothbrushes and Ninja turtle underwear.  Sweet.

Cuddle time with Pop.

Maddox says he's ready to ride.

Even Daddy tried it out.

Batman's jail!

Maddox' treasure toy.

Time to take the bikes out for a spin.

Good times

Mason preferred to be driven.

While we were outside, Maddox stayed inside and played with our toys. ;)

and a few of his toys

I think he enjoyed his first Christmas.

Mason got a Yo Gabba hat..

That pretty much everyone else tried on...

even Madd man.

Cutie.

Holding his Yoda and reading a book.

Playing my new 3DS.

And of course, you can't celebrate Jesus' birthday without a cake!  So we had a Janie's cake.  Mommy said it was the perfect cake for the perfect guy.  It didn't last a day.

Merry Christmas! ~Miles
