Merry Christmas

Wyatt with his new sock monkey toy

Eli is on the sandhill

Papa is carving in the gun he made Eli

I love these pendants from Kenzie.  She also made me a pin pendant thats really pretty.  I put it on the backpack I use for a purse.  

This is uncle Jared's ninja peep.  Her and uncle Jared used to stick a toothpick in the peeps before putting them in the microwave. 

 

Adam came out to peek at the presents around 12:45 and then came into our bedroom.  He fell asleep on our floor until around 4am and then went to check on Jacob.  Jacob was already awake even before Adam started tapping his head to wake him.  Jacob had already been out to check out the presents and found all of his.  They woke us up at 5:00 but we stayed in bed until around 6:00.  Adam woke up Eli who hopped right out of bed.  We had muffins with coffee or pop for breakfast.  We let Wyatt open his first gift which was a chicken meaty dog bone. That kept him busy while the boys opened their stockings.   In their stockings were gum, candy, nerf darts, flashlights, glow sticks, gel pens, pencils, highlighters, notepads, and rulers.  Adam made Wyatt a glow stick collar. Then they boys handed out presents and we took turns opening them.  The boys all got nerf guns, legos, socks, and hats.  Adam and Eli got Garfield books and Jacob got a teen study bible. Jacob got an art pencil/led and a battery cell.  Eli got some walkie talkies and a stickbot. And Adam got a couple 3DS mario games. Adam tried out his new games right away.  Daddy got some m&m's, muck boots, a few 25ft extension cords, a salt/pepper pottery tool and a bunch of pottery sponges.  Wyatt loves sponges and has ruined most of ours.  He is quick to find them when they're out and chews them into little pieces.  He even got one of the new ones but its still usable.  I got 3 seasons of Dr Pol, some new baking sheets, pyrex glass storage containers, and a memory foam bath rug.  After presents were all opened the boys got right to building their lego sets.  Jacob helped Eli with some of his star wars set.  After Jacob's set was put together he read in his new bible.  Adam had fun playing his DS.  Eli went outside to try his walkie talkies and walked up to the sand hill.  We talked to him from inside the house.  We watched a couple Dr Pol episodes.  We ate around 2:00 and had ham, mashed potatoes, and corn.  We also had leftovers from Christmas at Mom's.  Mom and Dad came over around 3:00 and stayed for a couple hours.  We had a nice visit.  Wyatt was super excited and barking because I was holding him back because my Dad doesn't like dogs. He doesn't bark much but when he does its super loud.  After a while I put him in his kennel to settle down.  He was much better after a few minutes in there.  He went over and sat by Papa and even got some pets from Papa.  Then Nana invited him on her lap.  Dad took all the chocolate kisses from the candy jar but decided to leave one for us on the deck as they were leaving. Mom told me about it but the cats must have got it because it was gone.  It was a nice day outside.  We took a walk in the woods and Wyatt had fun running around. Back inside we had a really fun nerf battle.  This evening we watched Dr Pol and had popcorn pop and ice cream.
