Christmas 2014

I know I'm WAY behind on posting about our Christmas but here it is. We had a lovely Christmas Eve spent by having lunch with my grandma then dinner at Brian's uncle's house. It was a long day for everyone since we were gone all day but the boys were troopers & behaved extremely well. 

My niece, Lily

She doesn't realize it yet but I'm her favorite aunt! :)

The madness of our Dirty Santa exchange

My grandma loved the Dirty Santa gift she received (Donut Bank coffee, gift card, & cookies courtesy of me!)

The excitement of Christmas continued into the night as Brian & I helped Santa by wrapping all of the boys' gifts. I sure don't remember buying that many!!! When Logan woke up on Christmas morning, at 5 a.m., he checked on the gifts but luckily he was so tired he fell back asleep for another hour :) He told us that Santa brought him & Levi 100 gifts & he was so happy. Here are a sample of the pictures I was able to get of our Christmas morning madness:

Santa went a little over board :)

Levi knew exactly which presents were his

Logan was very excited about his super hero underwear!

Logan couldn't believe that Santa brought him & Levi his own Ranger! Now he can drive next to Daddy everywhere they go.

After we cleaned up our mess & played for a while, we ventured to my parents' house to exchange gifts with them. Of course, Logan had to drive his new Ranger up there. It was the cutest thing ever!!! For those of you who don't know, we only live a stone's throw from my parents. Mom made a couple breakfast casseroles while Brian made his biscuits & gravy. We enjoyed a delicious late breakfast before digging into the presents. We didn't even get out of our pajamas--it was awesome! Here are a few pics from that craziness:

Mimi went WAY overboard.....as usual

Lily loved the Dora chair we got her :)

Happy boy!

Levi's favorite toy

Our Christmas Day wound down by playing with all of the new toys & watching Polar Express one more time. Unfortunately, the stomach flu woke us up at 1 a.m. when Levi was hit with it. We spent the next 4 days sharing it with each so that was a bummer but at least we enjoyed the day. We have 2 more Christmas gatherings this weekend to make up for what was cancelled while we were sick. This was a memorable (and unforgettable) Christmas.
