CHRISTMAS in FL

 
 Sleepy boys! Guy and I are like little kids and woke up way before them because we were so excited. Haha! Eventually we decided to go wake them up because we couldn't wait any longer...granted it was around 8 and we had to be at church at 10!
 They were pretty excited though once we woke them up.  We asked them each a Christmas question (tradition my dad used to do when I was little) and made them line up to go into the family room where Santa had come. Guy gave them easy questions this year. Ty was asked who the reindeer is with the red nose and BB was asked what Santa's wife's name. And then he asked both of them what the true meaning of Christmas was. Glad they got all their questions right :)
Looks like Santa was here! He left behind a few things like a reindeer bell outside by the reindeer food, a glove, a button and a piece of his jacket.  And we even found some "snow" footprints from his boots and one of his reindeer on our back porch coming into our house.  The boys were going crazy with all these great clues that he was here.  We sent the pieces he left behind back to the North Pole with Elfie and Randall the next day so Santa could have them back :)

All of our piles from Santa....
 I love the excited faces of Christmas morning. I think Guy and I smiled the whole time!

 We did our presents from Santa before church and then after we got back we opened all the ones under our tree. BB was all about opening a present and getting on to the next one, but Ty would open one and then want to play with it first so we just let him. It was fun because it made Christmas last all day. We just took our sweet time :)
 Ty was the only one who didn't want to change back into jammies after church. Silly boy!

Brady made Guy a plate at school and he was SO excited for him to open it. Pretty cute!
Watching new Christmas movies together
What a wonderful Christmas it was. I love the magic of this time of year and this is definitely one I will never forget!
