Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

After surviving the last week of the semester and before we took off to go home for Christmas break we had ourselves a little Christmas.  Heath especially, was super excited. When we got up in the morning and went into the living room to see the stockings & presents he said, "Where's baby Jesus? It's Christmas" we had to  explain that he was born a long long time ago, and Christmas is to celebrate him being born... he wasn't very happy with that answer. Since then he keeps telling us he wants Jesus to come today.   

 Houston was pretty dopey, but so cute to watch. He's such a sweet little guy.

 Heath has really figured this opening presents thing.  Both He and Houston were so sweet that morning and so easily excited by everything.

We had a very successful Red Rack's Thrift-store run a month or so ago and got the boys some pretty awesome stuff for a whopping $5.  We even saved some of the loot for Heath's birthday next month, so $5 covered us well.  The tools were a big hit. As were the puzzles, cooking utensils and trucks

 Daddy got a "Snake Gun cleaner" which is pretty much awesome! and a new pair of flipper sandals.

 Mommy got some books she's been wanting and lots of time with her family. Just what she needed!

 Merry Christmas!
