Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas again this year. We started off the weekend on Friday night by sprinkling reindeer food on the lawn so that Santa was sure to find our house. Then we went inside and made, in my humble opinion, the best gingerbread houses ever! OK probably not but we sure had fun making them. Jake did a lot better than i thought he would, i expected his house to be smashed or destroyed in a matter of minutes, because well it's Jake, but he had a blast putting the candies on. He probably ate as much as he used on his house but that was OK. Cody did a great job too, he wanted everything to look just perfect. We found a new method to stick the gram crackers together, just melt 1/2 c. sugar on stove and use that to stick the house together with, it's like glue it worked so good. The boys also opened their p.j.'s from Grandma and Papa Davis and loved them, although Cody still doesn't understand why he can't choose which present to open on Christmas eve, he'll get it sooner or later. Here are some fun pic's of our Christmas eve.....

 

Christmas morning!! I know Cody had a hard time sleeping, he woke us up at about 5am to tell us he was hungry. We held him off a couple more hours and then woke Jake up. They had lots of fun seeing their Santa gifts and opening all their presents. Every time Jake opened a present wrapped in a box he would yell "It's a box!" It was pretty funny. They loved all their presents and opened them so fast that i have no idea who gave them what but i can tell you that they loved them all. Cody was excited that Santa brought him what he asked for, i think he was really worried that it could go either way for him. Jake got a new bike and is excited to get outside and ride it hopefully today. We were able to attend our church service on Christmas evening and i am glad that we did. We needed to remind ourselves that Christmas is so much more than Santa and gifts. We are very grateful that God sent his son to live and die for us, we need to remember that we matter, we have a purpose in this life and we are all special to our heavenly father. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and remember to keep Christ in your heart all through the year.
