Christmas 2009

I honestly had forgotten how truly magical the Christmas season could be. Thanks to Maddux, I Believe!! All month long we'd been reading Christmas stories, looking at lights, delivering gifts, and talking about Jesus. (whoops! and Santa)
Christmas Eve was spent with Bones's family. Grandma had the entire party planned down to the minute, featuring the ever-popular Christmas Pinata (or "pin-a-lotta") as Maddux says.
We spent the rest of the night watching movies.

We slept until 7AM on Christmas morning, which was awfully thoughtful of both kids because that NEVER happens! I told Bones that was OUR present this year.

Maddux JUMPED out of bed when we told him that Santa had come. So funny!
Santa brought him a big dump truck, just like he'd requested, and a tool bench with tons of tools.
We headed to Coalville on Christmas Day for a yummy dinner and tons more presents. Melis and I played a mean game of "Dance Dance Revolution". Who knew dancing could be so fabulous??
Christmas night family pic at "Compa" Gordy's and Grandma Becky's.
He loves the scooter that he got from them, and all of the other tons of presents. Who needs moms and dads when there are Grandpa's and Grandma's?!

Christmas Eve Pajama's


Swayzee enthralled with Santa's beard..afterall, it is so life-like! (hee-hee)
No tears!?

"I want a BBIIIGG dump truck with a cab and auto-standard-mission"
(automatic transmission!)
No tears, again!

Opening his tool bench...Look at his little face, he's going to exPLODE!
Maddux kept telling me, "Mom! I'm so -cited!"
Practicing his painting in his new painting shirt.

OH, his FAVORITE toy of all!! (no sarcasm, even)

His very own FLASHLIGHT!! Just like Curious George.

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family. May this year being peace and joy!
