Christmas was awesome

I'm a couple weeks behind...again...

but Christmas was awesome and that required my undivided attention. Hence the title of the post. I was feeling very witty and original with that one.

None the less, Christmas morn we awoke with much excitement and anticipation to see our boys' shining faces. Here's the scene.

Santa left a very special present for Ben....

who had been asking for a Kitchen (that's Ch-ii-chen in Ben speak) since late August. The boy likes to cook, just like his daddy. We had to wait to see their shinning excited faces however, as both boys chose Christmas morning to sleep in. Um, what is that about! They BOTH slept in. Never happened before or since. So Jim and I were up early awaiting their greeting. Noel was the first to join us. And as it was Noel's first Noel (bwa-ha-ha...I've been waiting for-ev-er to say that.) it was definitely deserving of a little photo shoot.

The little bug delivered.

I mean for real.

Gorgeous child! Not too long after that, Jim went upstairs and woke up, seriously, our eldest. He got into the spirit quickly!

Such a fun age for Christmas morning!

Noel also received a smaller version of the kitchen from Santa.

Good times.

I love the crazy wrapping paper/toy/packaging covered floor on Christmas morning. It reminds me of how very blessed we are on such a blessed day. Yes, I used blessed twice in the same sentence. On purpose. Happy Birthday Jesus!
