We each got different size rubber spatulas in our stocking to cook or play in the sandbox. Well, he and Grumpa made bubbles in the sink to play with

Silly boy

Christmas Morning

The stockings hung by the chimney with care

Andrew and Nora's stockings

(I made Andrew's before, MAYBE, just maybe, I'll get one made for Nora by next year, this had to do for now)

Santa came!

Andrew LOVES hot wheels cars.....or any car!

Making sure there isn't anything left in the toe

Andrew helped open Nora's stocking

Andrew picked out these jammies for mommy

Andrew helped mommy and daddy open theirs too :)

Getting ready to deliver the presents to everyone

Opening his presents

He was very cute this year, when we went to open presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house he said he had presents at home. And when I put more presents under the tree he said he already had one under the tree.

He really wanted a guitar like daddy's, which daddy doesn't actually play

(He likes to use it to keep baby sister awake when she's eating--this is actually February 1st when I'm posting this)

VERY excitedly opening his garbage truck

He REALLY wanted Hungry, Hungry Hippos, he was a happy boy!

A huge Hot Wheels trick track set

Mommy opening her present from Andrew

Andrew got me.......a Hot Wheels car!! :) To play with him, of course it's in his car box

A present he made us at preschool:

An ornament with his picture and some coffee mix and a candy cane ornament he made

Helping daddy open his present

(We got some new Wii video games and he said but we already have two--Mario Kart and bowling, the ones he plays)

My boys---Andrew bought daddy a Hot Wheels car too

We had a wonderful Christmas!!!

"Santa's Coming"

Andrew got to open one present tonight.

We also read the story of baby Jesus and Twas the Night Before Christmas (which mommy always read to her family growing up)

When Andrew was giving baby Nora (in my tummy of course) hugs and kisses at bedtime tonight he bent down and very sweetly whispered to her,

"Santa's coming."

Andrew in front of our tree

Getting his Christmas Eve present from under the tree

(We traditionally open one present on Christmas Eve, I always did this as a kid)

Mommy and Andrew

Opening his present

He got Lightning McQueen jammies to wear that night and a Hot Wheels ornament to put on the tree
(and it makes real car noises)

Me and my boy :)

Andrew got to open one present tonight-Lightning McQueen jammies and a Hot Wheels ornament. We also read the story of baby Jesus and Twas the Night Before Christmas (which has always been a tradition in mommy's family for her to read it).
