Our Christmas Tree with the TONS of presents
On a normal day Trent is up and ready to go by 6:30 (also known at the "butt crack of dawn" in our household). However, on Christmas he decided to sleep in. Jack woke up at about 7, so I got him up and fed him a bottle while everyone else began stirring. Everyone was up and waiting on Trent by 7:40. Finally, he headed down the stairs.
On Christmas Eve, Trent informed me that he wanted nutcrackers for Christmas from Santa. This was the first time he mentioned this request, so I told him that Santa may not have enough time to get those for him. Well, on Christmas morning he came downstairs and looked at all of his new stuff, and the first thing out of his mouth was, "Santa didn't bring me any nutcrackers!" What are the chances?

We let Trent play with his Santa stuff while my mom and I made sausage balls, cinnamon rolls, and pigs in the blanket.
Then we proceeded to pass out gifts. That took a WHILE.
Jack with all of his presents
We has way too much stuff.
We let Trent unwrap Jack's gifts too. This made it take longer.
Jack loved the penguin that his Ging Gong and Pap sent him
We literally unwrapped gifts for hours. It is sad when we had to take a break to pick up trash and let Trent have a breather because it was becoming a chore. :) Then we spent the rest of the day eating finger foods and sweets and playing with all of our new toys. I am so thankful for our family Christmas. It was awesome!
Brodie was going crazy with his new toy, so Trent decided to act just like him...
Joan is SO right. It was an awesome family Christmas! We (Larry and Fran from Jackson, and Scott from Illinois) enjoyed celebrating Christmas with Joan's - and, as they say "A good time was had by all."
