Hope you all had an amazing Christmas!
We had lots of fun things we did leading up to the big day as well :)
The boys and I made Salt Dough Ornaments, got the idea from my girl Jen!
We used Martha Stewart glitter to sparkle them up!!
Our cookies for Santa were made by me; I used a Spritz cookie recipe but made them as cutouts instead of using a cookie press. I LOVE how cute the stockings came out:)
The boys were all snuggled in their beds while...
...Visions of sugar plums danced in their sleepy heads:)
Stocking were hung on the "doorknobs" with care...
in hopes that St Nick soon would be there!
Santa tiptoed in and out of the "K" house that night...
And surrounded the tree with goodies for 2 sweet boys ♥
Guess what time we got up?
Yep 7:34 AM!
Our oldest boy was up every 3 hours that night, telling me he couldn't sleep cause he was SO excited that Santa came! He wanted to get up at 6 am!
I told him NO he needed to get more sleep, lol!
It was even too early for kitty Oscar!
He could barely open his eyes :)
(love this pic!!)
Opening stockings was first, Gage was VERY sleepy too...
But loved all the treats Santa left him.
Next he unwrapped the gift he made us in preschool...
He never even told us what it was... I was so suprised!
Isn't this precious!!??
I had tears streaming from my eyes, I loved seeing those lil baby feet painted on that carpet square ♥
It made me realize what a BIG boy he is now; and its his first Christmas gift he made for us!!
Still sleepy but super excited for his Zhu Zhu pet!
Gavin liked his new pjs and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" shirt.
The best gifts of all...
ANYTHING Toy Story 3!!
Gavin checking out his Discovery Kids Learning Laptop..
I thought he'd REALLY like this but so far he's not impressed:(
He's 9 1/2 going on "15" and wanted a REAL laptop!
Ha! NOT in our BUDGET bud!
Each boy got a block maker/shovel for Snow Play...
Big bro got his Paper Jamz guitar and let me tell you...
HE ROCKS IT OUT!!
Boo boo loved the Thomas trains he got:)
Aren't his pj's too cute?
Gav was OVERJOYED that he got his Perplexus game; to "challenge his brain".. as he said!
happy for his DS games... he really wanted iCarly2 and got it:)
More choo choo trains...
Gavin got his first snowboard and was SO excited!
Gagie was sooo happy he got his Toy Story 3 sled!!
He said " I saw dis at Meijer and weally wanted it!" ♥ him!
Hubz was overjoyed with his GAG gift...
a toilet plunger, lol!!
On a more serious note, he loved his big gray wolf slippers, Rolo candies and his Pampered Chef Mandolin for slicing :)
...................................
I got a GREAT gift from hubz... a new camera!!
Its a Canon Powershot with ZOOM... yes it ZOOMS!!!
Looooved it!

Loved your pics of Christmas Noelle! The one of your sleepy kitty was my favorite!! :-)
The sleepy kitty was hilarious! Adela is also crazy about Toy Story. she got a toy Buzz from her grandma and squealed!
The girls and I are planning on making salt dough ornaments tomorrow. Late, I know but with everything I just ran out of time:) I also just found about salt dough about 2 weeks ago. Just wished I knew about it when the kids were younger.
That carpet square is adorable!! I would be weepy too:)
It sure looks like your family had a wonderful Christmas.
The photo of the cat was so cute.
Have a Happy New Year
Hugs
Is this really going to work? :) this internet is soooo fickle!
those foot print snow man are so cute! What a great idea. Glad you guys had a great christmas. I really enjoyed watching my grands sparkle! ♥
What a great post Noelle!
Your boys did very well in the pressie department!
Such a great time.
Hey girl - the kids look so happy - thanks for sharing. Love that floor mat - aren't the "kids" gifts to us so totally worth the wait...and handmade - couldn't get any better right?
Happy New Year.

“Here’s to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here’s to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold.”
Happy New Year, dear Noelle! Wishing you and yours all the very best that 2011 has to offer.
Loved seeing your Christmas pictures, look at those happy faces!! I really miss having young kids opening gifts on Christmas morning. I got the Toy Story 3 dvd for Christmas as well and we watched it last night with Corey and Kristin (they surprised us with an overnight visit)...loved it!
That carpet square with Gage's footprints on it is absolutely adorable. I would have been bawling as well! lol
Poor kitty, I hope he was able to get back to sleep after the opening of the gifts was over with! hehe xoxo
Looks like you guys had a wonderful Christmas! I can't believe you didn't get up until 7:34...we were up at 6. Our 10 year old was up every 3 hours, too. What is up with those boys?
Happy New Year!
I'm never in the pics either because I am always the photographer. I love the pics of them sleeping in their beds....so cute.
