Merry Christmas 2013

Well I cant believe Christmas is already come and gone, but it was a lot of fun this year. I love the age the twins are at right now all the Holidays are fun now because they are starting to figure them out. I have been prepping them for Santa all December. We discovered a movie that the boys will actually sit threw and they LOVE it! Polar Express. They have watched that thing every day some times twice in one day for a month strait... I know kill me now! Luckily I like that movie so I could tolerate it for a while but I'm just spent on it now. So I obviously I had to get them a little train set and I got them the movie. We have just been watching it on Netflix so Im sure it will be taken off soon. Every time Santa would come on at the end of the movie they would freak out and say they wanted to go see him. So the weekend of Christmas me and James and James mom took them too the mall to go see him. 

This is how pictures go now, they are strait faced or maybe I can get one or two of them smiling. There was so many people there and some lady trying to get them to smile so there were a little weirded out. Elijah was looking at me because I was acting like a crazy person trying to get them to smile. Isaiah did good for the most part he was just kinda checking out the Santa at first and then after he realized that he was sitting on his lap for more then a couple minutes he started to cry. Luckily we got a picture of him not crying first.

After we were done then of cores we had to let them ride the train. This cute train was driving around the mall and it kept passing us as we were waiting in line. So after they said they wanted to go so they went on it with grandma.

Isaiah stayed back with James and I and was walking around. He loves the fact he can walk around now. Every one would stop and ask how old he was because he is so small he looks like hes 10 months walking around haha.

Christmas eve my family has a party we eat dinner and then we play games and open gifts from every one. 

I got two of them smiling. A little picture before the party.

My mom had all the little kids sit down and color before dinner.

We tried to get all the kids in a cousins picture every one was there but Isaiah be was asleep down stairs, he is such a routine kinda baby he has to go to bed at 7:00 or he will get very fussy. 

James came over that night after the kids went to sleep, he wanted to help with all the Christmas stuff including putting the presents under the tree filling the stockings and putting together the little train set and car track and he also wanted to be there the morning of Christmas so he could watch the kids open there gifts. He wanted to be able to share the kids Christmas with them. " I am just glad we are able to do things like this with the kids,  we get a long and are trying to make everything work out for the kids. 

Christmas morning Elijah woke up first, he ran in my room and said "did Santa bring my red fire truck?" I told him that if he was extra good I would ask Santa to bring him a hot wheels red fire truck. They are so obsessed with hot wheels cars. Elijah saw the train set when we came out to the tree and couldnt help himself. We opened the stalking presents first and there it was. Santa didnt forget his little fire truck. :)

Some of these pictures are taken mid movement so a little blurry. Noah checking things out.

I love this, Isaiah did this at daycare so I put it in the tree.

Playing around.

They got some new remote control trucks and they were there favorite things by far. They also loved there new hats they got from James.

Among the mess is Isaiah's favorite toy, he got a singing dancing talking elmo doll from James. He would sit there and watch it and sway back and forth with it. So cute.

I have to get the after affect of the Christmas mess.

Playing with all there hot wheels stuff.

They found a fun place to play with there trucks they put them on the pool table and were driving them around haha.

After all the crazy ness. We headed over to James moms house so they could open up gifts there, James mom was not feeling well so it was a short visit. After we were done we headed home and watched .... yep Polar Express! for bagilionth time ;)

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Ginger bread houses.

The kids got to make there first gingerbread houses last night. They are old enough now to know how to make them. I love with each passing year they get to do more and more fun things. My sister in laws all wanted to get there younger kids to make them. So we had Meena, Natalie, Alexis, my kids and then the two babies Angalee and Lincolen. They had so much fun I just helped them build there houses and then they decorated. I felt bad because for some reason the frosting was not working too well so the houses would keep falling apart. Noahs got the worst of it so his was kind of a mess at the end, but still adorable. I did the pics from when they started to finished. 

Isaiah watched all the action

Blogging has become last on my list so sorry its been taking so long for this post.

My family does an every other year kinda thing. one year is at my parents house the next year is at your in-laws house. This year was the in-laws year. So me and the kids were just going to stay at my parents for dinner. My oldest brother and his family always do dinner with my parents every year because his wife is from Korea and all of her family lives there. And then one of my other brothers his wife's family they all dont get along so they do dinner with my parents too. So we had just a small quiet dinner not the usual 30 people in my family that is there. I got the boys the first half of the day for my family dinner and they they went over with James for his family dinner. Luckily each of our family's holiday things are not the same time during the day. So it worked out great. I didnt take many photos just some randoms.
