Christmas in TX with Noni & Popi

We had a great Christmas this year and I think the boys are now spoiled rotten. Santa was very good to them. Each year is getting more and more exciting as Noah is getting excited about it. He's getting the hang of Santa Claus and definitely knows what presents are.

Noni, Popi and Uncle Jeffrey

Noah was giving cousin Abby the tour. He kept telling her to "mere" (aka come here) as he motioned her into the next room.
Ethan and cousin Carter having a jam session.
Uncle Jeffrey giving Ethan his first lesson.
My sweet cousin Emily.
Christmas Eve night. Noah was so eager to open his presents.
Trying to guess what's inside.
Christmas morning I woke up bright and early to Noah standing at the top of the stairs yelling "hey" to anyone who was awake.
Mom reading our traditional Christmas story of the birth of Christ from the Bible before opening presents.

Uncle Jeffrey and Ethan cuddling.
Opening their stockings.
I guess it's a lot of work opening presents.

Checking out his Buzz Lightyear game.
Ethan thought it was hilarious when Uncle Jeffrey would hit himself with the hammer.
He got a Tickle Me Elmo.
Ethan is already becoming the pesty lil' brother.
More trains!!!!
Watching Thomas with all his trains lined up.
Dad sporting his new back pack.
Noah got a bubble gun.
Uncle Jeffrey testing out his new remote control helicopter.
Josh got one too. Look closely.
Ethan was actually sick pretty much the whole trip, but he wanted to go see what the rest of the boys were doing.
Snuggle up.
Great Uncle Terry and Great Aunt Brenda came to visit.
Trying to get a cute picture with Popi, but of course Noah wouldn't sit still.
Ethan was much better.

Christmas with Oma & Opa

Well we have now had our 2nd Christmas for the month and still 2 to go. These boys are getting spoiled. Josh's mom and step-dad (Oma & Opa) came down this weekend from Denver (where they are use to snow), but yet Nashville was having worse weather. We all had a great time anyways.
Noah just hates to be tickled. ;)
Ooooo...
It's Woody!
Checking out his boots.
Ethan really isn't into the whole present thing yet. Just give him a box of wrapping paper and he's good.

Oh boy! He's very own train track.
Choo! Choo!

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow.

We got some snow for the third time this year already, but this time it stuck. They called off school so we didn't have to go to Mother's Day Out! Yay! Play time.

Ethan's first time to play in the snow.
Not too crazy about it.




Mmmmm....

HO HO HO!!!

This was Ethan's first year to meet Santa and Noah's second. They didn't start off to well and I really didn't think we were going to get any good shots. We put Ethan in Santa's lap and he was fine until he turned around and saw who was holding him. Santa had to leave them room for awhile until they warmed up. In the end, I think we got a pretty darn cute picture.
