5 days of Christmas

Our Christmas was full of family, food, presents, and fun! We had 5 days of Christmas, literally. Every time Austin opened something he'd say "This is what I've always wanted!" Andrew was a little confused throughout the whole thing, but he'll get the hang of Christmas next year.



We started our Christmas celebration on the 23rd with Nea and Dede. The kids got many cool things and they had a great time playing with Ella.




Our 2nd Christmas was with Grandma and Grandpa on the 24th and with Santa on the 25th. Austin got a remote control dinosaur. Andrew has discovered dinosaurs and LOVES Austin's gift!



Christmas Eve was fun! Austin's at a great age because he was so excited about Santa coming. After much convincing, he finally fell asleep and Santa came. Christmas morning, Austin ran into our room and said "Mommy, Daddy. Santa came! And he left toys! Come, come, come!" We came down the steps and he saw everything he asked for under the main tree. Everything, but his bike and helmet. Santa left that next to the kids tree in the playroom. Austin went into the playroom and turned on the tree and said "WOW! It's not the one I wanted, but yea!" Santa was good to both kids. From Santa, Austin got some Bendaroos, Pixos, Legos, a new bike and helmet. Andrew got a shopping cart, a giraffe learning bike, an Elmo and Elmo steering wheel.

We got Austin some tornado/weather stuff (a book, a movie, and an "I love tornados" t-shirt). Austin opened the shirt and saw it was just a box and said "Mommy, next year just get me toys." I told him that he would like what was inside the box and, of course, he did.

On the 26th, we did Christmas with Nonna and Papa. Papa made Andrew a much needed bigger toybox. Austin got a storm chaser jr. t-shirt and an autographed picture of Reed Timmer. (For those of you who don't know, Reed is an extreme meteorologist on Storm Chasers). Austin loved it! He's put the picture in his room.


Our 5th and final Christmas was with Gene's brother. Austin got a new Sorry Sliders game which is pretty fun. We've already played it a few times and Austin loves it!
