Christmas Morning 2011

Santa came and delivered lots of fun toys for the boys. The Big Wheels were a favorite of mine ~ brought lots of memories back of my Green Machine!
The boys not-so-patiently waiting for the GO to head to the living room!
I told them to raise their hand if they were ready ~ Thomas was a bit more enthusiastic than his brother!
"Look at all this stuff!"

The boys checking out their Big Wheels.

They also loved the remote control balls.



Checking out the goods inside the stockings.

Thomas finally remembered to check and see if Santa ate the cookies we left. He was sooooo excited when he realized Santa wrote them back. He had to run to dad and get him to read it.

The boys had fun opening the gifts from each other and from mom and dad.

Will taking the Big Wheel on a test drive down the hall. Thomas was busy checking out his new TAG LeapPad game.

Stewardson Christmas 2011

When we got to Paw Paw's house to open gifts Will found a book and plopped himself down in a chair and started reading. I thought it was so cute how he crossed his legs and seemed to be so intent on what was in the book!
Gus and Kirklyn are ready to get started!
Thomas was excited about his Leapfrog gift card from Luke. He loves picking out games to download onto his LeapPad!Gus tearing into his gift.
Super Geyer!
Kirklyn kept a close eye on Will to see what he was opening.
Paw Paw and Melinda got the boys super cool (and loud) laser guns. Luke, Thomas and Gray showing off their best bad guy faces!Will was careful about opening his gift from Gray ~ a Pet Pals cartridge for his LeapPad.

Dad helped GG open her gifts.Then Meridith and Geyer came over to visit with GG.Will and Thomas checking out Geyer's present.Another gift from Paw Paw and Melinda......It's a scooter!!
Thomas took his right to Dad to put it together.

Reindeer Food

Amy brought all the fixins for Reindeer food. Everyone knows those reindeer get hungry after pulling Santa's sleigh all over the world!Gus planted himself at the head of the table to watch the "cooking".

Luke and Thomas listened to the instructions VERY carefully.Thomas II giving Thomas IV a few tips.Uncle Joe helped Gray and Luke clean up a few spills.Kirklyn and Will did a pretty good job making their reindeer food.

But they did need a little help from Uncle Ben and Paw Paw.

Will made sure he had just the right amount......And he shook it up to mix it up really well!
