A very merry Christmas









Ben had a super hero Christmas. Cpt. America, super hero Squinkies, Nerf gun. He is one happy little boy. Claire has only been shot at once. Claire was so good and slept through most of the present opening. She finally did wake up and opened her 3 stocking gifts, tights, leggings and a toy that you squeeze and it makes sounds. The older two kids think it is hillarious. That is what they asked Santa for on her behalf.
























Ben got Siena Princess squinkies. Siena got Ben super hero squinkies.









Just for the record, I think they are the most pointless/awful toy ever. They are little tiny tiny balls that have squishy little action figures in them. Perfect for a little sister to swallow. We have already had close encounters with swallowing them. We will see how long they last. The kids were thrilled to open them up.
















Siena's new bathrobe because she is always so cold.











The squinkie dispenser. It holds the squinkies then you can put a coin in and it pops one of the squinkies out.













Daves present to Ben. A racecar set that goes up on the wall. It has attachment tracks that you can add on to it.















I don't know how Ben got so interested in this but he has been asking for tools a lot lately. The other day he made a tool belt and got some legos and came and fixed some things for me. He got these tools and immediately told us they were from Home Depot. I am working on a tool belt so he can carry them around. He already built a house for Dave.










Months ago, Ben and I went to the fabric store and bought fabric to make a quilt. The poor boy has had a twin bed for a year and hasn't had a big enough comforter. He wanted spider man on his quilt. There are 5 different fabrics all different widths and then all fleece on the other side. The biggest rectangle is of spider man. The others are blue plaid, red, orange and one is words that say pow and such. I like it, I think it's cute. I didn't get a good clear picture of it Christmas morning but he was excited to see it again.












a cupcake hat from Grandma. She thought this was so funny. She loved it.









The kids have been asking for pillow pets for a long time. They were so excited to open these up. Thanks Nana and Papa. They slept in their Disney sleeping bags and on their pillow pets last night. Claire got a little mini lady bug one and they thought it was hillarious.










It was such a fun year. It's so fun to have little kids and have them be excited for Santa eventhough they don't enjoy siting on Santas lap. They didn't wake up too crazy early. Around 7:30 Ben came into our room. He told us it was time to wake up. Then he ran downstairs and checked on all the gifts. He came running up and told us that Santa had come. I guess he just couldn't wait for us to wake up. He woke up Siena and we all went downstairs.











Dave got a big gift this year and bought a nice camera. I bought him 2 photography classes because I didn't want him to have this nice camera and not know how to use it. He has been taking pictures all day and they look so much better than our little point and shoot camera. Almost every picture I took during Christmas morning is blurry. This camera is nice and I am excited for nice pictures of the kids.







I got lots of fun little gifts. A mani/pedi giftcard. kitchen stuff. Lots of warm clothes. Just what I asked for and needed. I am a happy mamma!
