I'm so behind that this post won't do Christmas justice, but I just have to start somewhere.
Gummy and Gumny send presents!
How cute are they to still send us all stuff? Boxer briefs for Jace, a garbage truck for Parks, and cars for James...and a little spending money for us!
My parents sent gifts too!
Along with presesnts for 12 days before Christmas, my parents spoiled us this year with a 3 day pass to Disneyland over Christmas! When the boys opened the gifts James love the singing Mickey, Parks wasn't sure what to think, and Jace kept saying, "I can't stop saying it. I can't believe we are going to Disneyland. Grandma and Granpa don't ever lie right?"
A rainy San Diego Christmas Eve!
It was so fun to be with Mike's family for Christmas Eve. We had a Jerusalem night with Middle Eastern food, experiences from Rick and Marci's trip to the Holy Land, and a little Nativity play with authentic Shepherd outfits. The kids were a real blast during it. Not exceptionally reverent, but great nonetheless.
Christmas Morning!
My kids woke up at 5:50, so we waited patiently but loudly for the rest of our crew. It was great to see the cousins all line up together to see what Santa brought. It was supposed to be a small year, but Rick and Marci really came through with an amazing Christmas for us. Santa did bring all the boys what they had been hoping for. Jace: Bakugon, Parker: Power Rangers, James: Tech Deck Skateboards. Rick and Marci got us cool trick boards, Leapsters and games, GeoTrax, soooo many clothes, gift cards, a new phone and most importantly a NEW CAMERA! So after this post, all my pictures won't look like they were taken with a cell phone! We are too blessed to have so many kind and generous people in our life. The gifts we gave were a hit too, so that is always fun. It was a great Christmas morning with lots of love, un-wrapping and playing. Then we had a lazy day enjoying our spoils!

Yay for Christmas pictures! Glad you guys had a good time in San Diego. Looks like the boys had a great Christmas. What kind of camera did you get? We got a new one too, I've been watching DVD's trying to figure out how to use it. I'm hoping this will cut down on me feeling like I want to hire a professional to take our pictures every other month!
I'm glad I'm not the only one just barely getting Christmas stuff up on the blog!
Looks like fun! We missed you guys as always!
Looks like a fun Christmas! How fun for the cousins to do it together. I am jealous you got a new camera! How was Disney?! I am sure a post is to come.
I like my kids' grandparents and all, but sometimes I want yours!
Fun Christmas! I am jealous of the Disney park passes....actually...my girls are! Yes, let's hear what camera. I got a Nikon D40 and still don't know how to work it!
Love the Christmas pjs and 12 days idea. Your mom is amazing!
I agree with Jessica. :) Sounds like you guys had a great time! The toys your boys got look like fun, and I'm usually I don't like anything that's not pink and sparkley. Fun times!
