Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was really fun. Both boys were giddy with excitement going to bed on Christmas Eve, with anticipation of Santa Claus. They woke up around 6:30am and had to wait at the top of the stairs until Mommy and Daddy were ready with cameras and coffee in hand. My parents rotate years where they spend Christmas (since all 3 siblings live in different parts of Texas), and this year happened to be the Hood year. We were happy that my parents were able to join us for Christmas morning, and experience the boys excitement as they saw what Santa brought them.

Here is a cute, bed-head picture of the boys, waiting to go downstairs!
Inspecting Santa's gifts...

Logan helping Gran open his present. Logan loved tearing the paper off of the gifts this year!

Ben helping Mommy open her present that he made at preschool.

Santa brought Logan a ride-on Jeep for Christmas. Santa must have noticed the boys arguing over Ben's gator, and thought it was time for Logan to have his own. Logan is still learning how to drive/steer his Jeep (he's crashed a few times into trees), but give him a couple of months and he will be a pro!

After gifts, we all had a wonderful Christmas breakfast together. And then my mom and I put together a scrumptious lunch. Around 3pm, we were all tired and ready for a nap. My mom and dad left to travel to Dripping Springs, and our little family laid down for a Christmas siesta. That evening, we had snacks in front of the TV and had a family movie night---flick of the day: The Incredibles. We had never seen this movie before---it is now one of our favorites! We had a blessed Christmas and are so thankful that our boys know the true meaning of Christmas too. We are blessed that God gave His only Son, Jesus---We praised Him on High---because without His birth, we would not live.

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
