Title: Merry Christmas!

Tyler woke up to see that Santa had taken time out of his busy night to leave him a note! He didn't think it was quite as cool as mom and dad did.




I asked Kylee what she had gotten in her stocking and she held it right up so I could see!


This was the result of every picture I took of the 2 of them in front of the tree. Oh well.


Their Great-grandpa and grandma Olson sent each of the kids a Christmas gift and I wanted them to be able to see how much they loved their books!


Kylee got a scratch-n-sniff book...


...that Tyler soon took over (i love kylee's face trying to figure out what the heck he's doing)




Tyler's was a sing-a-long book to Up on the Rooftop-thank you grandma and grandpa!


They got Cutie's in their stockings and while I wasn't looking Kylee literally stuffed half of one in her mouth.


He loved his Dinosaur and rides him everywhere


I got this idea from my friend Mindy and made these cute puppets (all the materials came in a little packet from Hobby Lobby) for Kylee's stocking. The packet was only $5 and surprisingly the puppets are still all stitched together and none of them have lost an eye-which is saying something cause Kylee's pretty rough with them.


Kylee's gift from Santa was a shopping cart and a LOT of plastic food (seriously what was Santa thinking? I'm finding potato chips and rolls all over my house!) Next year we might ask Santa to bring her a kitchen to put all that food in!


Tyler's present from Santa was a train set with Thomas and Percy engines. Santa had originally brought Tyler a different gift for Christmas, but when Tyler sat on Santa's lap at the mall on Christmas Eve he told Santa he wanted a train for Christmas and then talked all day about how Santa was going to bring him, "a train that goes round, and round and round without stopping!" I think Santa is pretty awesome for finding Tyler exactly what he wanted minutes before it was too late!


This is what I love about Christmas day:

the house in complete disarray from presents being opened, piles of new fun toys, the boys working to put things together and the wearing of pajamas all day!
