Christmas 2011-Part 2

EVENTUALLY I will post all of our Christmas pictures, I'm just not sure how many posts it will take :)
This was Christmas Morning!
Jace woke up at 7:30, pretty normal for him right now, but we made him wait until 8 to wake Bren up.
The first thing they wanted to do was check to see if the Reindeer ate their food we left out and if Santa ate the cookies! 
 Brenley got to open her gift from Santa first! 

 A Tinkerbell watch, just like she asked for!!
 And then Jace's turn!
 An Aggie helmet, jersey, and pants, just like he asked for!! I don't think he took them off for 3 days!
 Then the craziness began! Boxes and paper everywhere!!!

 A few months ago when the kids were with me at Hobby Lobby and Jace saw this A&M fleece. He told me he wanted a blanket made out of it. And Bren was quick to pick out a pink cupcake print and requested her own blanket. I decided it would be a great gift I could make for them! and they LOVED THEM more then I thought they would! They have slept with them every night! 
 After football season, Jake gave me this LONG speech about how he didn't want me to get him anything for Christmas, and that he just really appreciated me taking care of the kids and the house while he worked such long hours. Well of course I couldn't NOT get him something, but I really had him convinced that I didn't! :)
Look at that smile when I pulled out his gifts!
 AANNNNDDDD have I mentioned what a GREAT job he did in picking out my gift!! Yes that's a little BLUE box! 
Tiffany Earrings!
 Stocking time!
It was such  great morning Christmas season! The kids were just so into the holiday! The Christmas songs, the decorations, and the Christmas Story. They have several children's books about the Christmas story and the true meaning of Christmas and they would pick one out to read every night. I love these memories we are making! 
I am so looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us!
