Christmas Tidbits

Alex was so psyched about finding his long lost Lion King picture behind his bed on Christmas morning. Perhaps he believed Santa returned it to him.

Tyson enjoyed digging through his stocking . Note the bald spot on his head.
He did that all by himself
(just what every mom wants for Christmas photos)

Once the boys opened their 1st present, there hands were full and they were finished.
Of course that item was something Matthew got for free from the Boeing Store.
(Mini Space Ships) Why do we buy presents????
Here's the water table Santa Claus (Papa Foote)
designed this just for Alex as you can see it's a big hit.

Pirate Al was tired of waiting for the Chocolate Creme Christmas pie.
He decided to take matters into his own hands.
I was just glad to have one thing off my list of things to do.

All and all, most of my day was spent running around trying to make to make my boys open their gifts, sit on Shanta's lap and do other "things" that would make Christmas wonderful.

At in the end, the highlight of all the doings, was sitting with Alex and once again, just enjoying my boys, watching them take it all in there own way, playing with a few toys and loving those who stopped by.

When I chose to be a parent I thought that I would teach my children many things.
Through this process, I am constantly reminded that I am the one that was really needs to learn.
