Where did Christmas go?!

So it may have taken me a few weeks, but here are some Christmas photos!  Once again, Christmas came and went like a blur.  

The fun began a few days before Christmas with Poppy!  Noah learned the concept of opening gifts very quickly & we found him saying, "More presents?!"  While Connor was thrilled with anything sports themed this year, Noah would say, "Oh! Wow!" with any gift he opened.

Then, when the boys woke on Christmas Eve it was a countdown until we got to go to Nana & Papa's house!  They had no idea what was in store for them when we got there!  My mom said Connor's reaction to learning the bounce house in their yard was their's to keep!

Connor loves his Nana like no one else!

The boys got a kick out of the outside lights :).

Adios to Jingles!!  This was, by far, Jingles' most creative year & while the boys will miss him, I'm not sad to see him go! :)

Matt & I didn't get much sleep that night, but Connor came in nice & early & excited!  Of all of his big gifts, his favorite gift was his NFL football cards.

Connor was so excited to have Noah wake up and show him all of his goodies.  Noah's favorite gift was his travel Elmo ABCs, which must come with us every-single-time we leave the house!

Once gifts we opened, we got ourselves dressed and headed on over to Nana & Papa's for more fun!

Connor flew through his gifts and Noah opened his ever-so-turtle-like, but once the presents were done...we squeezed in some more bounce house fun as much as we could.

Noah was more interested in his Elmo ABCs.  Santa did really good with that gift!

Don't mind my mom's face (assuming one of the boys had stinky britches)!  It think this was my only chance to get all the boys in the same picture in the bounce house together.  I thought Connor would be too big for the bounce house, but he may have loved it the most!  It was SO great to have all the boys contained at one time!

Connor was having so much fun & always seems his happiest when his with his Nana, so it was pretty tough/emotional to have to load him up to go with his Dad.  I had a harder time with it than I thought when I saw he didn't want to go.  Since he was going to be gone the longest he's ever been (8 days), I tried to stay super busy to keep any depressed feelings at bay.

I scheduled a few sessions and spent the week running around town with Matt shopping for Matt's Christmas gift (the kitten he's been asking for since we met).  That's a whole 'nother post for a whole 'nother day!

More to come...
