Christmas Day 2011

Whew!  These kids are full of ridiculous amounts of energy.  We were up at 7:00 a.m. opening presents.  We tried our hardest not to spoil them...and failed.  How can you not when they are SO excited?  Brooklyn would literally fake passing out after opening a good percentage of her gifts.  All of their dreams came true and we were so happy to share their crazy joy with Brett's parents.

Checking the damage on the cookies.

Too busy to look at the camera.

Eating morning treats. :)a

Still too busy.

Stocking time.

She was REALLY excited about the Barbie.

Checkin' things out.

Around ten we headed up to my parent's for Broughton/Bowden/Krache Christmas.  We again kicked off the festivities with food.  We love food.  Melissa chef'd up the most delicious ham and cheese croissants.  I have tried to replicate them time and time again and fail.  She must have some secret.  After we were stuffed, Santa came and filled the stockings and dropped off slippers for the whole family.  We followed that with opening presents and, guess what...yep, we were spoiled.  We opened gifts for hours and then dined on a delicious prime rib dinner.  Mmmm.

"Gift you can see from Space," from Auntie Nelle and Matt.

Our very own firestation!

A gift for Princess Brooklyn.

What?  Sparkle Cowboy Boots!  AWESOME!

She wears them every day.

Wes, using a variety of belts for a variety of purposes.

The cousins geeking out on their new computers.

A very tired Baby Emmett. 

The kids were pretty exhausted by the time we got home so we cuddled on the couch and watched a movie before heading to bed.

We are so thankful for everyone that we got to spend the Holidays with, it's cheesy but we love our families!
