Merry Christmas✞

Merry Christmas everyone! What a fun holiday season this was this year with a whole other family in our house.  The Luchaus moved in with us just after Thanksgiving and the 6 kids were a blast on Christmas morning.  I mean, there was wrapping paper for days ☺.  Hope everyones Christmas was just as wonderful!
Here is our living room on Christmas Eve, nice and neat and orderly.  The way mom likes it☺
 Out come the stockings.  There is so much tradition and family memories that come during all of our holiday seasons, but especially at Christmas.  This stocking, and all of my family's stocking, are made by my mom.  Each one takes her anywhere from 1-9 months, depending on the level of difficulty and the time she is able to devote to it.  She has made well over 30 different stockings and they are very precious to us.  Here is Matthew, happy to be pulling out even the smallest amount of chocolate from his.☺
 Caleb got yet another item to add to his Thomas the Tank Engine collection.  This time it is Sir Topham Hatt.
 This just cracks me up.  First, I just love Wyatt's Buzz Lightyear pj's.  They are so bright you can see them from down the street.  These two could not wait to get the rescue vehicles out of their box.
 One of Matt's prize presents: A Battle Island Playset.  Awesome.☺
 My biggest boy got a big boy gift this year: A new watch.  He loved it!
 Ha, here is CJ with yet another Thomas toy.  He is just so excited.
Finally he got the remote controlled helicopter he had wanted all year.  He raised his arm and yelled "YES!" ☺
