Dexter got to chill with Auntie Anna. (Anna didn't even know what was coming! But more on that in another post...)
Cooper loved his new guitar from Auntie Anna & "Uncle" Pat. (It just made everyone else in the room feel old because the toy guitar plays instrumental versions of Wild Thing by the Troggs, Message in a Bottle by the Police, Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen, Love Shack by the B52's and All Star by Smashmouth.)Christmas morning was spent at home. Even though we left out cookies & egg nog for Santa & talked about him all day Christmas Eve, Cooper still wasn't expecting him. He slept 'til 8:30 & didn't really get what was going on at first.
Cooper was very excited about his stocking.
And judging by this picture, Cooper would have been happy if Santa stopped at just the stocking. (But what fun is that?)
Dexter, as you can see, was equally thrilled with his stocking loot.
Hmm.. I bet you're wonder what this is...
Dexter is intrigued too... but you'll have to wait for another post.
Cooper and his Thomas train, the one thing he asked for from Santa.
Dexter was tuckered out from all the excitement.Then it was on to Grandma & Grandpa's house.
Things were mostly a little crazy. Not surprising considering there were 5 kids 3 years & under and (only) 6 adults. Why do we still feel outnumbered? (Gift opening was particularly crazy, which is why I don't really have any pictures of that.)
But there were a few calm, relaxing moments.
Dexter & Lynzee checking each other out.
Since Adam couldn't be with us for Christmas, we tried to get a good picture of all 5 kids together.
We quickly decided it didn't have to be "good", they just all had to be in it, even if they all look like deer in headlights. (I swear, no children were drugged in the taking of this picture.)
This is seconds later.
Dexter, once again, tuckered out. (He was actual awake when John sat him up, but sitting on Daddy was just too relaxing & he fell asleep.)
