2 of my wild 'n wacky brothers are over tonite entertaining my boys so I'm gonna steal a few moments to post the second half of our Christmas morning!!
Here is our oldest Gavin, being super happy that he got a new DS game!
One of MANY of the Lego sets he had on his wish list that retail totaled probably $500!
I had to have "the talk" that Santa can't get you everything you want...
maybe some of your other family members may get you something that Santa "couldn't"...
We also had to have another "talk" on Christmas morning as to why little brother got 2 "BIG" boxes and he didn't... "Well, you asked for smaller things that cost MORE money than some of the BIGGER boxed toys that Gage got" Ex. Legos' average $20-$40 for a SMALLER set and DS games are on the average of $30!!
So, he GOT that "talk" and was fine with it!!
Oy, I even tried to make sure they had the same NUMBER of boxes this year,
but of course THAT went un-noticed!!! LOL
The ever so COOL Maxis Dragonoid from Bakugan... huh? you might say...
its a WEIRD boy thing... kinda like Pokemon.... when he tries to tell me about it, I have a HARD time following ;)
Some new chapter books...
(this Santa encourages READING as well!)
Ever popular Lincoln Logs with a train set included...
(NOT on his list but daddy... oops, I mean SANTA played with those as a kid and thought it would be cool for his son, oops... I mean Gavin to have some to play with too;).. )
Guess Who Extra!!
I cannot wait to play this game!
Darn Santa forgot to buy the AAA batteries for it though!!
REALLY happy that he got this driller thing from Lego Power Miners...
he didn't waste anytime at all building this!!
Sorry Sliders... happy for that one!!
Already starting to get an attitude...
and messing up his newly cleaned room,
by yours truly...
MOMMY!!
Even the cats hung out during gifts...
they must have known that Santa was bringing something for them too...
A stocking full of cat toys picked out by their Big Brother Gavin:)
Here is my mom's themed gift this year...

WOWZERS... LOTS OF GREAT TOYS! love the lincoln logs! your kids are loaded up for the new year ahead. Cute gingerbread wrapping and spatula.
My fav. gift was a wall table, to go up against my wall, and bbw products.
First, love Gavin's book shelf in the background. Aiden's nursery theme was blocks and that would have been perfect!
Second, Love the mario DS game. I play Aiden's all.the.time.
Oh...and Guess Who Extra, another fave. We rarely use the sound effects so don't worry about the batteries! :)
Looks like the boys really scored for Christmas this year! Can't go wrong with Lincoln Logs. Even my big kids would help the little ones build things with ours.
I love the gingerbread paper that your Mom found. Soo cute!
Have a safe & Happy New Year!

Noelle, can you even remember our living room when you guys were kids? Wrapping for four took a week seriously! Kitties were so cute! You should do a Lego room for Gavin! I think your sis in law is being mad at me? Whatever, won't be the first this week, she'll need to take a number and stand in line. Later, All I want to do is sleep today, which is so not me. Luv, Mom
Hi Noelle! Oh my gosh, our kids got so many of the same things, lol! Sorry Sliders, Bakugon, tons of Legos, tons of DS games, Lincoln logs, hilarious!!
So glad you all had a nice Christmas :):)
Hugs,
Amy
Never heard of lincoln logs before...Are they like building blocks???
You boys cashed up big time...They'd be loving it all.
Our kids got a great booty too
Go Gavin! Ha! I forgot about the having the same number of boxes thing! Well believe me, there are more "talks" to come! And be sure to never, never put a can of silly string in their stocking! Ack! It stains the walls! ♥
Great pics! Santa forgot batteries at our house. Grrrr. Love the pic of the kitties under the tree! Besides my new ring, my fave gift was a super cute purse full of Victoria's Secret perfume!
Santa hooked them up good :)
Love all his facial expressions.
Your house looks like mine after Christmas. It's always fun tripping over toys and trash lol
Your moms themed gift was too cute!
My favorite gift was a new computer. I've been without one for about 6 months when my old one died so I'm happy as a clam!
wow, that looks like a very busy christmas morning!
my favorite gift was a surprise trip to Disneyworld from hubby. We leave in a week!
Hey Noelle!
What fun Christmas Pictures...I'm so glad that you and your sweet family had a Merry Christmas. The pics of the boys are so cute. I spy some kitties under the tree...those kitties always love to be in the midst of all that's going on don't they!? Gotta Love 'em!
Happy belated 31st Birthday! Watch out, those 30's will fly by!
Big Hugs,
Queenie
Santa was so good to him! Love it! And I love that gingerbread paper!
