Christmas Came and Pictures Were Dumped!

So since we all know that Santa came, now we are on to the rest of the gifts and the rest of our Christmas day at home, together.

And for Eli Christmas really did come, with lots of Elmo movies and the marathon began. Just thrilled! But that baby was happy! Our family has pizza Christmas day...normally we make our own personal pizzas, this year however I made the dough and I was only going to make 3 big sheet pizzas. Plenty in my opinion but the littles had other opinions. Either way, my bread maker walked it's self right off the counter and broke it's self, so we only had 2 pizzas. I'm devastated over my bread maker, I need a new crock pot/roaster oven and a bread maker. Stupid bread maker breaking it's self...sigh! This is mine and Frank's pizza...guess which half is mine!

Charlie in LOVE with his new bed!

Eli and Dru on their vehicles from Santa. Now all they need is some decent weather to really feel the wind in their hair!

Buzz Lightyear from Star Command came and stayed with us (those are wings strapped to his chest, he pushes a button and up they come). Buzz came in peace (thank heavens!).

Charlie on his other new bed...this bed is for his kennel.

And Charlie went back and forth to each bed after like 5 minutes...he just couldn't stand it! Two beds AND two new toys! Sadly, his new toys didn't last long, his 'cousin' Coco came over for a Christmas visit and ate his blue toy (well not really ate but took the squeaker and stuffing out) and broke the squeaker in his other toy. Such is the life of a dog!

Our own Papa Frank! Better Pizza! Papa Frank!

Proof Santa came! No beer was left for Santa this year...don't really know why though...hhmmm...

Christmas morning!!! Can you see the anticipation in their eyes? Well at least Ian and Lee's anyway. Dru however had us rolling before we even got out of the room. Last year if you recall he made his brothers wait for at least an hour before he rolled out of bed, much to the torture of Ian and Lee (mostly Ian). This year however, he was up about 15 minutes after they were. He TORE out of his room and ran into our room and said "Daddy! Daddy! I'm so sorry I forgot to wake up!". That kid I tell you what...too cute! This was the first thing Eli did after walking to the tree and looking at gifts. He ransacked his Christmas stocking and took out M&M's and goldfish crackers (which were not his mind you) and proceeded to eat while we all opened gifts. He was not going to budge from this seat...I think that look says it all 'I triple-dog dare you mother!'

Ian in LOVE with his gift from Santa...Nerf gun (just like he ordered that is just like his longest, bestest bud ever), vest that holds a Nerf sword AND more clips full of darts, and lastly an ammo box of at least 100 more darts! Today is gonna be a good day Tater!

Here is Lee...see the joy in his face??? Yeah us either...there is always one right? Normally it's Ian, this year however it was Lee. His Papa about died cause he wasn't as happy as his Papa imagined him to be. Lee spent some time in his room sulking Christmas morning...we continued to open gifts...he eventually came out. He's aptly named Eyeore for a reason, and has been since he was born.

Well there was some of our Christmas day. Hope you all had a wonderful day and some good times and memories with your families!
