1st Christmas in the new house

We enjoyed our first Christmas in the new house. The boys got up at about 7:15 am (after Nolan tried to get me up at 4:30am). They were very pleased with their presents - Nolan got a WII, accessories, and games for it along with a couple of other toys that were on his list. Elijah got a John Deere gator which he is still working on learning how to drive and he also got the Imaginext crane. He said "Santa knew I wanted this crane one time and it was too many dollars." They both were very excited about their christmas stockings also with Elijah exclaiming "I got a whole bunch in my stocking!" Brent and I also gave the boys some gifts from us - Nolan got more WII games and Elijah got a Nintendo DS and some games. They both wanted and received fuzzy socks which they were also thrilled about. Seeing their happiness on Christmas day is so much fun and creates such great memories.

This is something that was very high on Nolan's list and he was so excited to get it!

Elijah loved getting his "own" DS....really he does! Not sure what was going on in this picture!

Nolan was very anxious to get the WII going. He loves it. (so do the rest of us!)

I wasn't too pleased with the outcome of the christmas tree but I was glad to get a tree up in time for Christmas since we just moved in on the 15th of December.

Nolan got this Playmobil Circus from Grandad and Mimi on Christmas Eve and Elijah was so excited to get it built.

This is a pirate ship that Brent and I gave the boys together. They've been wanting it for awhile and they love it because it floats in the bathtub.
