Christmas part 2, 3, 4 and 5

We had several Christmas celebrations this year. We hosted the Swapp Family for Christmas Eve. We had a great time and Ty had fun playing with Addison. I am so bummed that I was to busy to take any pictures. It was the first time in 29 years that I didn't celebrate Christmas with my mom's side of the family. We weren't supposed to see my family on Christmas Eve or Christmas but my dad surprised us on the 24th for a visit and then my parents came up on Christmas morning for a surprise visit, there's just something about seeing my parents on Christmas that made me so happy. We went to Pat's dad's house for a wonderful breakfast that his step-mom made and present opening on Christmas morning, my parents surprised us and came to see the kids, then we went to Pat's Aunt's house on his mom's side of the family the rest of the day. We had a great time seeing all of the relatives and ate some delicous food. I think I gained at least 5 pounds.The pictures are in reverse order in which they happened.

Ty and Charlie were obsessed with looking at the moon.





Ty with his great uncle Dave.



Tatum and Della watching Caillou. This was the only way for me to get a break from holding Tatum all night, she wouldn't let me put her down.




I am not sure who put the boys on the pool table, but they sure had fun.

Tatum and Great Aunt Chrissi.



Grandma Maggie, Taters, Great Aunt Mary



Papa Tom holding Tatum...it was a shock to see Tatum just laying their on his lap, this girl doesn't not stop moving (unless she is watching Caillou of course!)



Consoling Ty and trying to explain to him that there are no more presents for him.






This is Ty's favorite present from Santa, Handy Manny fix-it motorcycle.




Ty opening his first present from Santa. When your three year old tells Santa that he wants a huge train for Christmas and you don't get it for him, you might be in trouble. Every present he opened, he said, "I hope this is my big train, maybe it's the next one." I just assumed that Ty told Santa what he wanted and forgot what he told him...nope, he remembers everything!


Ty putting out the cookies and glass of water for Santa. Pat was trying to convince Ty that Santa might want a beer waiting for him but Ty thought water was a better idea.

Ty wearing the stockings.

Ty enjoying the view from Grandma Maggie's house.

Both Ty and Tatum got ponies but they soon had to be taken away because Ty was using it like a bat or hitting Tatum with it.
