Merry Christmas 09! Christmas was a lot of fun this year! Austin understood everything about it and maybe even too much since every single thing he saw on TV he wanted to ask Santa for! Finally he narrowed it down to a couple things and I don't think he was dissapointed. We ended up setting up our tree before Thanksgiving this year because Austin wanted to so bad. He was a lot of help getting everything set up. He loved every minute of it. Now that it's after Christmas and he sees a house that still has their lights up he asks why they haven't taken their stuff down, "Christmas is over!" It's funny to hear.
Christmas morning, Andy and I were both up wondering why the kids weren't up. Austin is generally up at 6:00 every morning but he slept in until 7:00 on Christmas. Here he is looking through his stocking.
We had to wake Caleb up, so he was a little out of it for awhile.
But he finally got excited, especially when he opened Thomas, he loves trains!
Austin kept asking for a Batman castle, which we weren't going to get, but Santa got a good "Black Friday" deal, so it was worth it.
Caleb sat and looked at his train box forvever. It would've been cheaper to just give him the box!
Austin building his "Dr Jones" lego airplane. It amazes me how fast he can build legos, I have to look at the instructions at least five times before I can find the next piece. I guess that's why he got them and not me.
For Christmas lunch we went to my moms house for more presents and yummy food. All of the kids got pj's and slippers from Grandma, they all looked so cute.
Opening presents from cousins. We draw names for both sides of the family. The kids love buying presents for each other.

We went to visit Grandma Baugh next. Here is Caleb opening a present there.

Austin's lootWe had a lot of fun during the holiday's visting both families and playing "Ticket to Ride" at least 25 times (no joke). I always hate to see Christmas go, but we have many memories to last until next year, including our trip to DC and making it through the "Blizzard of '09" alive (post to come later).

It looks like you guys had a fun Christmas. Your boys are getting so big! (Good thing you'll have another little one soon, huh?)
Looks like a great Christmas. I love the pic of all the little cousins in their pj's. They're so cute. Cam looks pretty cute there as well with all of those little ones. :)
I love Christmas. It looks like you had a wonderful holiday season and enjoyed all of your traditions.
