After a very late night, Santa finally got everything set up and ready for the boys to come down to in the morning!
Once everyone was up and Jon and I dragged ourselves out of bed, it was time to go downstairs and see what Santa brought! We have them line up youngest to oldest so Max was the first one to round the corner and see his pile of gifts.
Max got lots of sports equipment including new golf clubs, a tennis racket, a baseball bat, tons of balls and a car parking lot thing.
Nathan really wanted stacker boxes since I wouldn't let him play with my nice decoration ones. So he was really excited when he opened the big box and realized that there was a smaller box wrapped inside and then 2 more boxes after that!
He finally made it to the new watch that was wrapped in the smallest box, though I think he was more excited about the box than he was about the watch!
Everyone got a new game that we had fun playing together throughout the next week.
Max loves Dora and was excited to get a new Dora movie for the car.
Jake loved the remote control car that Grandma Lorelei sent for him.
Nathan picked out this alarm clock for Jon since his old one was broken and was hard to see. This one has big, bright, red numbers that no one can miss!
Jon took the boys to Target to pick out gifts for me and apparently they all picked out jewelry!
Santa also left each of the boys a gift in the backyard. Jake got a climbing dome...
Max got a soccer net...
and Nathan got a new basketball hoop.
Jake loves animals and puzzles so this gift from Aunt Annie was perfect for him!
That afternoon we headed over to my parent's house for the big adult gift exchange and to get more presents from Grandma and Grandpa! Max got this cool tricycle motorcycle bike that's the perfect size for him.
Jake and Nathan got a Wii and let's just say that it has gotten some really good use over the past month or so! Their favorite games are Super Mario Brothers and Mario Kart. We've had a lot of fun playing as a family as well!
The cousins all pick a name out of a hat and buy a gift for that person. Trevor had Nathan and got him Connect 4 and a new basketball.
Abbey had Jake and got him some big animals and a little truck.
Rob and Bethany had us and Bethany got me some really cute jewelry that Jake modeled for me!
Rob and Zac got new shotguns so when my dad got this cool 'golf' hat he had to strike a pose with one of the guns! The funny thing is that he actually wore the hat to the Rose Parade the next week!
My parents got me a new stroller/carseat combo for the baby which I really needed since we got rid of our old one.
Jon got a back inversion thing where you hang upside down and it stretches out your back. Dentistry is really hard on his back so he's hoping that this will help.
After all of the presents were open we had dinner and hung out and then went back home so the kids could play with all of their new toys!
I'm usually sad when Christmas is over, but this year it just meant that I'm that much closer to getting this baby here! I now only have 2 more weeks to go and I'm still determined to get caught up on my blog so we'll see how it goes!

Merry Christmas! You can never celebrate Christmas too much or for too long. It looks like you had a very festive holiday and we enjoyed seeing all the pictures.
