Merry Christmas 2012

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did!!! This Christmas was extremely fun with Alden. He understood, to an extent, what was going on.

We started our morning at our house, opening presents, stockings, and seeing what Santa brought. Alden's face was priceless when he walked into the living room and the presents Santa brought were sitting there ready to play with.

For Christmas, Santa brought Alden a new kitchen and a Tonka truck and Collyn a new toy with balls.

Collyn sat back and relaxed while we opened presents.

Santa brought Alden a train whistle in his stocking. He loves trains, so it was a great present.

Alden LOVED his kitchen. He loves to help me in the kitchen, so we put it in the kitchen so he can cook while I cook.

After we opened presents at our house, I made a breakfast casserole and we headed to Lyndon's parents house for breakfast and more present opening.

Alden got the hang of opening presents.

Alden got a John Deere toy from Uncle Kolton (Lyndon's brother)

Collyn was my present. :)

Collyn knows what is good!

So, the story behind this picture is interesting. Right after we got married we were living in our first home and while we moved to our second home, Lyndon's mom swore she gave Lyndon his diploma from College. We searched everywhere for it. She knew exactly where she put it in our house. We checked. Nothing. For 3 years we have told her we don't have it and she told Lyndon he lost it. This was one of Lyndon's presents. She found it in her bedroom. :)

Alden loved eating breakfast on Christmas at Grandma and Grandpas.

Then, we came home for naps and i made a salad for lunch at my parents house. Lyndon played his video game that he got for Christmas. Then, we headed to my parents.

All the kids were very excited to open presents.

Alden got some Matchbox cars from Aunt Susu.

Papa Stuart (My dad) helped Alden open some presents.

This is a typical Christmas at my parents house. Sheer chaos! We wouldn't change it for anything.
