Christmas day

Well, I'm moving on with Christmas day after finally getting around to posting about Christmas Eve a few days ago...again better late than never!

the boys woke up to full stockings and gifts from Santa

It was a bit iffy at times this year, but I guess Santa decided to visit them after all! :)

ready to dig into their gifts

Connor got some cash...always a favorite gift at his age!

Coby read the letter that Tinsel (our Elf) left for the boys

busy boys (tired daddy who'd worked all night long)

Calebug got a new Scooby Doo DVD

the aftermath

Since Darren worked the night of Christmas Eve was also going to be working all night on Christmas, we let him sleep all day (which is the "norm" in our house anyway)! So, the boys got to spend all of Christmas day at home playing with all of their toys before heading over to Darren's parents house at 4:00. It was such a relaxing morning and afternoon.

during this time, the boys played with Nerf guns, put together their new Legos, Connor played his XBox games and read his new books

Before we knew it, it was time to head over to GramPat and Papa's house....

Cale showing Uncle Clint and cousin Braden his new DS game (it was SO funny because Cale got DS games from Santa, but didn't have a DSi which he was getting from my parent's the day after Christmas...so, he said "Well, I got a DS games, but I don't even have a DS!?) Luckily Coby shared his DS with Cale to hold him over.

Connor got a mountain bike from Uncle Clint, Aunt Michele, GramPat and Papa....he was a happy boy!

Coby and Cale got tons of Legos and of course Cale also got a lot of Star Wars things!

I love this...Coby threw away his wrapping paper as he went! I love this kid!!!!

after everyone else finished opening their gifts, Clint took Darren to the garage where a 1974 corvette stingray was parked with a red bow on top! Darren was thrilled! Clint had a brand new engine built for it, the interior redone, and new tires. All it needs is a new paint job and it will be a beauty! Darren is having lots of fun with it!

Even after getting way too many gifts Cale enjoyed playing with GramPat's duster more than anything! Isn't that just so typical!?!
