Christmas 2011~

Stockings loaded up! Unfortunately mostly with underwear.
Every year for as long as I can remember, Mikayla wakes up and goes into Zach's room and they sit and talk until we tell them it's time to go downstairs. This year Mikayla snuck upstairs without looking to go see Zach(her room is to the right of the stairs in this picture). Landen ended up sleeping in until 8:30! So they had to sit and talk a long time this year. Landen didn't have a clue what all the fuss was about but he quickly figured out it was present time and loved it.
He went right over to his puzzle and got busy. You can see he got a pillow case with a Busytown theme. I had it made for him because he just loves Busytown right now.

He looks so precious in his Thomas jammies.
He sat next to brobro and opened his presents which were mostly Busytown toys.
At one point I looked over and he was doing this. He just sat back, crossed his legs, and took it all in! Such a funny little guy!

He was seriously annoyed by all the tape. He kept saying, "Sticky Tape!" in this really annoyed voice. He also insisted on throwing all the wrapping paper on the floor as he opened his presents.

Another great stocking stuffer! Tooth brushes!
Mikayla loved her little coin purse all the way from Singapore!

Practicing with chopsticks.
Th aftermath.
We had a wonderful day and during our breakfast of cinnamon rolls Mikayla lost her last baby tooth! My baby girl is really growing up! The kids really enjoyed watching Landen this year as he was finally able to open presents and react to them. Zach spent all day riding his new Razor scooter and Mikayla and I watched the parade. I cooked corn and crab chowder and Jeff read his new cycling books. We are so thankful for each other and the sweet family time we had. We are most thankful for being able to celebrate Jesus' birth!
