Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas and merry it was in the Hansard House.  Clay and I were woken up at 5:30 to Ford saying "Guys, it's Christmas, there are presents . . ." We all walked out together to see an abundance of gifts from Santa.  The boys didn't know where to start, they were checking everything out. 

Santa came!!

After looking at all the presents, they went over to see if Santa ate his cookies
and grabbed their stockings.  Yes, even Jackson was a good boy.

 Big Boy Bikes!!

Ford got his remote control car - he had only been talking about for months! 

 Jake got Lego Lightening and Lego Francesco -
 this was the gift that Jake had been talking about for months.

Ford taking in all his new stuff!

A big happy face on Christmas morning!

Santa left one last surprise in the garage for Ford and Jake.
Jake is in pure shock!

It is actually a 1-seater, but they both squeezed in to give him a try.

After opening gifts, the boys slowly went from toy to toy to get it out of the packaging.  We had a big breakfast and a nice relaxing Christmas Day at home.  Grandma and Grandpa came by in the morning to visit and see what Santa brought.  Gigi and Granddaddy also came by to do the same.  Ford and Jake were excited to show them all their new stuff.

We took the remote control cars over to the parking lot
across the street to do some racing!

We also took Lightening for a quick test drive in the drive way/garage.

Later, we had our first turkey dinner at home as a family.  Then once it got dark, we went over to Aunt Kimberly and Uncle Glenn's to visit and see Christmas lights in their neighborhood, which are the best lights in Plano.

We then came home and got ready for bed.  It took the boys a few days to really open and play with all their new toys.  It was a very Merry Christmas full of blessings!
