I love this outfit, a MBM (made by mommy) original, ha ha... The design on the shirt came for one of my favorite embroidery websites,www.stitchontime.com If you own an embroidery machine you should visit her site, she has the cutest designs very reasonably priced. The pants were made especially for Harper and she had a matching blanket that coordinated, along with a fun monogramed receiving blanket.
Now, since we have had our fashion look for this post we will get back to the activities. We had a lazy morning that day the boys playing around the house and so excited that santa would come. That afternoon I loaded the kids in the car and ventured to my mom's house, AKA (nanny). Erik stayed behind to meet Santa's elves who were delivering one of the boys' Christams gifts, there new clubhouse. Thanks to all the Elves who assisted (Dad, Lance, Chris and Chris)!!
Later that afternoon, Erik joined us at my moms and took the boys to see the new Yogi Bear movie. My sweet sister, Blaire, watched Harper where I could get a much needed nap!!
We returned home later that evening, and posed for pictures by the tree. We read The Christmas Story, and A Charlie Brown Christmas, and the boys drank their, magic sleeping potion "hot chocolate" were they would have no problem going to sleep so Santa could come!!
Christmas Day
Rise and Shine, Santa Claus was here!! After waking up every other hour with Harper, I was a little drowsy when the boys came running into our room on Christmas morning. But awaken is what we did, and were ready for the day to begin!
The boys were so excited! Cooper received his "treasured Cinderella castle" from Santa. Which, may I add took several months of talking Santa in to delivering, LOL!! But, what do you do when your 3 year old only asks Santa for one gift, A Cinderella Castle. Ever since we visited Disney this summer, he has been fascinated with princesses and castles. He calls the princesses "His pretty girls :)" I am choosing to think he is just going to make a very good husband one day!!
Hagen was excited to receive, his new football pads, helment, and pants, along with his "swamp boat". Yes, swamp boat, he loves the history channel show "Swamp People" and he informed Santa he needed a play Swamp Boat. Thank goodness for Bass Pro Shop, which he also received a toy bow an arrow set. He informed me he is taking it to the deer leased where he can kill a turkey! He is 110% BOY.
Harper slept right through her gifts, a tutu an American Girl Doll. Which, the boys were so excited to open for her.
For breakfast, the boys enjoyed monkey bread and cranberry-orange sticky buns which were wonderful and I will be posting their recipe. Our families came to our house for Christmas lunch and we had a "Mexican Fiesta". However, after being up all night and "Dead Tired" I did give into peer pressure from the rest of my family and ate off paper plates. A moment of weakness!! I do not have any pictures of that!
We had a wonderful Christmas this year, and are so thankful to the Lord for all his blessings! But, most importantly, the greatest blessing of all Jesus Christ!!
