Christmas Day!!!

The stocking were hung by the chimney with care...

About two weeks before Christmas James saw a Lightening McQueen bike at Costco. He liked it of course, he likes anything with McQueen on it! Lightening McQueen for those who don't know is the Disney Cars Character. After we were at Costco every time I asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him he would say "Speed Bike". Well he had already told Santa that he wanted other stuff so Santa wasn't really planning on bringing him the bike. EVERY day for about a week I would ask him what he wanted Santa to bring, thinking he would change his mind, but no he didn't! So luckily Santa had an extra bike for James!
As soon as James woke up in the morning he came in and got us, then while Craig went to get the video ready we went and woke up Brianna. As soon as we headed downstairs James could see his bike and he was SO excited, he dropped his blankie at the top of the stairs and couldn't get down the stairs fast enough, saying, "my bike my bike", the whole way down! It was so cute to see!

One of Jake's favorite toys...his sippy cup!

Brianna got a snuggie for her B-day and I got one for Xmas!

Jake's other favorite toy...ELMO! He loves Elmo, he cracks up at Elmo!

Brianna also asked Santa for a bike this Christmas. She was so excited as well!

James has never ridden a bike so we were kinda concerned on how he would do and if he would get it. He gets pushing the pedal down but it is pushing it around that is the hard part. Craig has been working with him every day though and he is getting better every day!

Breakfast is Craig's specialty. So every Christmas morning my Mom and Tom come over to our house to watch the kids open their presents and Craig makes breakfast. Here are all the boys in the kitchen watching Daddy cook!

I just had to put these two pictures in here to show what a little cuddle bug our Jakie is! :)

After we finish at our house we get on the road and go to Craig's sister's house. There we join his family for lunch.

Somebody had to help Jake open his presents, he wasn't old enough yet to understand, so here I am helping him open his present. He wasn't even very interested in the paper!

James on the other hand very excited to open all his presents

Jake more interested in the fireplace

We have a very busy Christmas day...after Craig's sister's house we go over to my Mom's house for dinner and Christmas with my Mom's family.
