Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas and hope everyone did the same. I cannot get Blogger to load my pics in order so here we go completely backwards. We spent Christmas evening with Matt's dad and family. Which is always entertaining!
They gave the boys this cute little work bench but Kolt has taken it over and he is truly serious when using it, he has a lot of work to do.

The perfect coloring tool for Kolt, the aquadoodle. No more markers on the wall at my house!
Bodee got a tent to go over his bed. He is super excited about it and spends a lot of time in it.
Kolt got a new helmet for Christmas and he insisted on wearing it almost all morning. Last night he wanted to wear it to bed.


Kolt had a lot of help opening his gifts from big brother, and still notice the helmet.

Checking out the new train table.

Kolt's expression looks like, "Is this really for me?"

And yes, Santa brought Bodee the BB Gun he has been dying to get. And yes, I am afraid he is going to shoot his eye out.


This is what everything looked like before the chaos began. I wish I would have taken a picture after the storm hit! It is amazing that it can take us almost a whole year to prepare for this holiday and 10 minutes to completely get through it all. I am still waiting for the maid to come and clean it all up and find a place for all the new stuff. Ha Ha, I might be waiting a long time for that one.

Santa also left this fun toy. He had a really hard time blowing it up on Christmas Eve too. It didn't come with a pump, a blower, nothing. Good thing Santa knew how to get into our garage and rig the air compressor up to get this thing blown up. If not the kids might have found Santa passed out on the floor Christmas morning.
My sweet husband got me an awesome new scroll saw for me to indulge in my new found hobby of crafting. My mom and dad and Matt got me the new Professional grade Kitchen Aid too. I am so excited and I feel so spoiled! Thanks to everyone who made our Christmas so fun and special, we love you. Happy Holidays!

Geez Laura, I had the nicest scroll saw that I just gave away because I no longer use it. If I wouldn't known you were looking for one. Darn it!
I'm sure you'll be making lots of cute things with your saw. I've enjoyed seeing all the cute things you are making. Someday I want to make something with you.
Christmas looked great at your house. All of you were spoiled.
I just got a kitchen aid too. Send me any excellent recipes that you find. :)

Merry Christams, hopefully the presents the kids have will keep the kids occupied for at least one week? Who knows? Cute pictures, love the helmet. Jody
