The kids lined up at the top of the stairs, waiting to come down and see what Santa had brought them.
Our boys' stockings
Deborah's kids' stockings.
Jacob loved his slingshot. Used it to fling nuts against the kitchen tile and break them open so he could eat them. Much more fun, and quicker than a nutcracker!
Tyler, excited about his zoo-zoo pet from Grandma.
Blake tearing open his present Blake-style: with his teeth.
Figuring out what this zoo-zoo pet thing is. He would pick it up and hold it, then throw it on the ground, waiting for it to move.
Brian's motion sensored laughing dog. Another puzzle to Blake.
Blake's favorite stocking surprise: a banana.
The volcano (that we remembered at 6:30 this morning, and got up and assembled really quick before the kids woke up. This was the boys' only request from Santa this year.
Blake scoured the floor for whole, unshelled nuts to carry around in his mouth.
After opening presents, the kids went out and sledded on the hill behind the house.
It is wonderful to be home for Christmas!!!!

Here he goes!!
Blake loved playing with Grandpa. Warmed up to him so quick. 
Tyler loved helping Grandma in the kitchen. 
Kyle (Deb's oldest) had fun with his new lego set. And was so patient to let Jacob help him. 
A perfect Christmas! Watched "November Christmas" tonight. A little too close to home for Deborah and I both, and Grandma and Grandpa. But a sweet movie. Cried most of the way through it.
