Santa came!

This year was extra special having our complete family together. Santa didn’t go overboard and it was perfect! The boys had plenty to open from our families and a few extra gifts from mom and dad. The nice thing about having all boys and pretty close in age is that they are into the same things so Santa just put it all out. They had so much fun running in to see what the big guy had left them. Cole was extra excited because he really understood which makes Christmas that much more fun!

We left Santa some chocolate chip cookies {we forgot the reindeer’s carrots..oops!} and Cole wouldn’t let us forget milk for him to drink. Next year I promise to have plates for the other boys, but mommy just wasn’t on her game this year!

 

Blake even received his very own big boy chair!! He had a small chair that we used for his monthly pictures the first year of life, but it was time for an upgrade! He will be passing the little chair down to Gavin. This chair now has a nice home right next to Cole’s in the media room.

Gavin just hung out on the couch while we did our morning festivities. He was quite content just watching everyone.

Sweet big brother Blake is just crazy over the newest addition! He seriously loves to hug and kiss on him…a little too much! You really have to watch this one! He doesn’t know what “gentle” is yet.

We decided to take a Christmas morning dip in the hot tub while Gavin took a nap. The boys were so excited since we haven’t been swimming in quite a while. Now that I’m not pregnant, we were able to really heat up the water. It was so much fun and the boys were ready for naps when we got out.

   

Daddy cooked us a SUPER yummy meal of bbq ribs and all the trimmings to go with them! It was a very relaxing Christmas at home for us this year. Hopefully next year we will get to spend it with family, but I had my four boys and that’s all I need!
