Our Christmas....

Cousins (Benjamin, Brayden and Hayleigh)

Of course, Ben was more excited about the boxes than their contents!

Ben is wearing his Pops' (my dad's) overalls and jacket from when he was a baby!

Still wearing Pops' overalls, and really excited about his new horse!

I finally put a shirt under them!!

We were putting together his new wagon, again he loved the box. We have been experiencing a major drooling session over the past week and a half, hence the soaked shirt!

Ben LOVES the wagon, Jake does not.

Look, Santa came....

Somehow we didn't get a family picture on Christmas, so this is as close as it gets for us!!

He also LOVES the firetruck ride-on Santa brought him!!!

More box excitement...

Still loves the wagon...

We had a really great Christmas this year! The Sunday before Christmas Jason's family (his parents, brother and his family, his grandfather, his grandma from Arizona, his aunt and cousin) all came over most of the day to celebrate and spend time together. We had a great time eating lots of food and opening great gifts. It was a good day. Benjamin had a good time playing with all the unwrapped boxes he got. We're still trying to get him to play with everything that came in the boxes!! :o)

My parents and their dog, Macie, arrived on Tuesday to spend most of the week with us. We had a really nice time. We just relaxed, ate way too much and opened even more gifts. Ben got a visit from Santa, I guess it's a good thing he didn't have to see him here at home to get his presents, because as you saw in previous posts, they don't really get along! We had a great visit that of course went by too quickly. They headed home on this past Saturday. It felt so empty here at the house without them that I just decided it was time to take all the Christmas decorations down. I guess I was Scrooge this year!!! lol

Thank you to everyone for all of our wonderful gifts! We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
