Santa and Mrs. Claus had just laid down their pretty little heads for a good night's rest when footsteps came running down the other end of the hallway.
The boys!It was 12:30am and those boys thought it was go time. I think not.
Luke whispered in my ear that they were awake and asked what I wanted to do. Wiggy was still asleep in her bed and there was no way I was waking her up at this ungodly hour...and I was exhausted. Mrs. Claus deserved her beauty rest!
I nestled back into my bed and Luke got up to greet the boys...and tell them they needed to go back to bed. They did manage to look through their stockings and check out what Santa brought first.
My internal alarm went off around 6:15am and everyone was still sleeping. PERFECT!
The boys woke up a few minutes later after they heard me stirring. They showed me all of their goodies and I oooooohhhhhh'd and aahhhhhhh'd. (They must have been perfect angels this year! Smirk)
Santa brought them each a 22 rifle. Bubba's had a scope on his since he is my wannabe sniper.
We waited semi-patiently for Wiggy to wake up, since she is normally our rooster each morning. After 15 minutes I gently woke her up by telling her Santa came.
IHOP Gift card from Uncle Bertsie!
Some eye protection that fits over his eyeglasses. Not on his list....but mama knows what he needs. :)
My beloved Frye boots...which finally arrived after 3 years on my Christmas list.
Santa brought a new pencil sharpener!! I think mom was more excited than the kids....
Merida wig and dress....I wish she had real hair like this. We adore it!

Bubba got very emotional when he finished opening presents. Most of the gifts he received were Skylanders Giants...but the Nintendo Wii had been broken for the past few weeks. So how was he supposed to play with them...and with no Skylanders Giants game??
Daddy surprised them....again. He stayed up setting up the WiiU for the boys and laid out some new games for them. They were both very excited! Daddy did good!
After retiring to his room Tubbs piled his gifts on to his bed to protect them from his little sister. Smart guy.
Christmas breakfast was simple.....
Hot cocoa, turkey sausage bread, scrambled eggs, and cinnamon rolls.
Grandma and Grandpa Hogue and Aunt Jenny came over for Christmas dinner. Luke made some delicious chicken, cornbread and garlic green beans. Grandma made some awesome cheese potatoes!
Dessert was pumpkin pie, chocolate chip cake, and red velvet cheesecake. We were stuffed!
Aunt Jenny stayed the night with us. Wiggy enjoyed snuggling up with her on the couch before passing out on her around 8pm.
Luke bought the boys the game "Battle Ship"......but we all know who he really got it for.
Another wonderful Christmas is put to bed and the year is over. I reminded myself many times leading up to Christmas, how blessed I am to not only have a testimony of Jesus Christ's birth, but to have my family here with me. I love them all so very much!
