christmas day

 Sheesh!  Christmas morning pictures always turn out so terrible due to the low lighting!  Anyway, we told the boys they couldn't get up until 7 a.m.  They were right on time getting out of bed and came up to get Mark & I.  We went downstairs and turned on the Christmas tree lights and sat around taking a look at what Santa had brought. He left full stockings and one gift for each boy this year.  After unstuffing stockings we took turns opening presents from each other.  The boys swapped names with each other for gift giving.  Above, Matthew is holding the Ironman hand that Mark & I gave him.  Santa left him a hexbug set.  Below, Jacob is holding a Nerf football that Ryan got for him.  Santa left a lego set for Jacob.
 Here's Mark opening a gift from Jared -- I think it was Gatorade.
 This is me holding the awesome "Matthew Claus" paper ornament that Matthew made at school for me -- love it!
 Ryan is shaking one of his gifts around -- not sure which one.  Santa left him a keyboard for his tablet.
 Matthew is holding a lego set from Mark & I.
Jared loves to watch Studio C, so Mark & I got him this t-shirt.  Santa brought Jared a Wii Fifa soccer game and a windshield cover for his car.
 After opening gifts we ate a hearty breakfast of sausage, eggs, and bacon.  We played with new stuff for awhile and then got ready to head over to G&G Vawdrey's for the afternoon.  Here's Jacob and Matthew starting to open their gifts from G&G.
 Matthew showing off his new clothes.
 Jacob showing off his new BYU clothes!
 Ryan got some Google play cards.
 And Jared showing off his new basketball.
We had a nice afternoon visiting with family and playing with cousins.  G&G fixed a yummy ham dinner as well.  So nice to spend time with family.  Merry Christmas!
