Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

So our christmas morning went a little like this, I hear some noises so i jump out of bed, grab my camera and i find the 2 big boys out in the living room.  They have already gone through their stockings and they have obviously seen what santa brought them.  This was the 1st time this has ever happened so i was sad that i missed out on their reactions when they 1st saw everything. I had a little moment where i was kind of mad that it was happening like this, how could they not wake me up!  Then daddy tells me that ben has been up since 4am and he basically was so excited that he kept bugging j every 10 minutes if it was time, so at 5:45 j says ok and ben wakes up ethan.  Before he knew it they were already checking everything out and he figured i could use the extra sleep. So this was it, this was the age that my boys are gonna sneak out before us and look at their stockings before we even know they are awake.  I never celebrated Christmas as a kid so sometimes i just don't know exactly what going on, Jason assured me that there were many years in their house that his folks were not up for the stocking part and i understood a little better. Its so exciting to see your kids so excited for something that they can't even sleep!!!! 

So from there Syd and I were up at 6am and then we waited for sam to get up just after 7 we let Sam and Syd do their stockings and then we opened gifts.
