We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas this year. We had a great Christmas, very laid back. This was our first time not being with family and we were a little nervous about doing it all. I'll tell you what, it definately made me more grateful to my mom and mother-in-law who cook all the yummy food and let us bring a salad and show up. Brandon had to work until 3 on Christmas eve so the boys "helped" me get dinner ready. After we ate we opened up jammies thanks to grandma Bishop. Logan was hilarious opening up his, you'd of thought he hit the jack pot with the "fire jammies". After he opened them he kept telling me how much he just loved his fire jammies, the next day he didn't want to take them off. Porter was excited about his too, just was out-voiced by his older brother. We watched JOY to the World and talked about Christmas. We put out revel bars for Santa, because daddy said they were his favorite. Logan had drawn a picture of santa and wrote his name and "heart Logan" on it. It's the cutest picture ever. So once the kids to sleep we brought out the gifts, set up the few things that needed to be set up and I put the picture Logan had drawn up in my room on my desk, behind a box and flipped over. The next morning after presents had been opened he went into my room for a few minutes, and then I saw him coming out with his head down, his lip jutted out saying, "oh man, oh man!" So sadly. I saw what was in his hand and he had found that Santa didn't take his picture after all. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "Santa didn't want my picture." (Heart breaking). I told him that Santa actually loved it and must have just left it. I told him that we would mail it to him, and that seemed to make it all better, whew!
On Christmas morning Porter woke up at 5 am we told him that santa wasn't going to come if he didn't hurry and go back to sleep. So he quickly listened and did what he was told, that was a first. We then all got up around 8. The kids were so excited and even more shocked that santa had eaten all of the cookies they left out. It was so much fun watching them open presents, they were so grateful for everything they got, and were so excited. The rest of the day they played with all of their new toys. Porter was sneaking treats from everywhere he could and he always made sure to get one for Logan too. We went and watched the Tale of Despereaux, which was surprisingly good. It was a great Christmas and even though we missed being home with our families we had a lot of fun on our own. Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.

It looks like you guys had a great time. I love the pajamas too. We all stayed in our pjs for the entire day. Christmas is so much fun with kids. Christmas is just as much fun as an adult as it was being a kids.
