Christmas 2011

We headed to Bloomfield for a few days to celebrate Christmas with our families.  We hung out at Grandma and Poppa's, visited with Jeff and played at Grandpa Stevie's.  It was a good trip without any memorable hiccups!  We had a great time playing games, eating and visiting.  Boy were we tired when we got home!  Santa even found the boys at our house!  Finnean thought it was pretty awesome to get a stocking filled here too!!

Finnean is ready to head to Bloomfield!
He loves to read and wanted to read The Polar Express on the way home.
Doesn't he look old?!

Carter is learning to read...so he thought he would share a story with Grandma, Hutchy and Finnean.

Jerry dog!

Aunt Ellie loves to snuggle with Hutchinson :)

HA!  Love this picture of Finnean, silly boy!

Hutchinson, o how we love you!

We headed out to Grandpa Stevie's and of course he got Finnean a super cool race track!!  It even "whoop-d-whoops!"  Finnean loves playing with Grandpa Stevie!  He also got Finnean a Spiderman fishing pole.  Finnean can't WAIT to go fishing this Spring!

Hutchinson getting some snuggles with Daddy.

Love him in this sweater.  Sweet, sleepy boy.

Hutchinson loves snuggling with his Grandma Lisa!  They were trying out her new rocking chair!

Adam and Maddy brought fun reindeer ears...of course Hutchy had to try them on :)

Hutchinson looking big after Christmas Eve service.  He did great and only made one little peep.  Finnean also did great and sat by Maddy and Adam.  He looked SO old sitting with them and even walked ran all the way back to Grandma and Poppa's house! 

Boys with aunts.

Seriously, Finnean.  Love that silly face!

Hmmmm....I wonder where he gets it????

I loved how his Christmas outfit made him look so round and rolly.  Sweet, little man!

Giving Aunt Maddy some giggles :)

Snacks!!!!!
Grandma makes some yummy treats for us to enjoy.  There was a lot of laughing, snacking and game playing!

Christmas jammies!! Finnean got a matching pair!

Each Christmas Eve we open a few presents.  The boys always open one that "happens" to have PJs in it :)
Richard got something that had A LOT of bubble wrap which meant instant fun!!  Looks like Finnean is attacking Carter with it...that couldn't be, right?

Obviously, writing Santa a note is very serious work!!  After this, Finnean, Michael and Carter went outside to put the reindeer food out for the visitors that would be coming that night!   It was great because the recipe for the reindeer food tells you all the things to do and then the last thing says "Come inside and go straight to bed!"  Finnean walked in the door from outside and said...I am going to straight to bed and headed upstairs!  Hopefully it is always that easy to get him to go to sleep on Christmas Eve!

Santa came!!!  This is Finnean checking the tag to see who it was for!

Love, love, love this picture of my boys. 
Finnean was so excited to see what Santa brought Hutchinson!

What is it?!?!

Santa brought Finnean his very own guitar!! Just like Daddy's.  He was so excited and loves to play with Michael.  Christmas day he just sat around strumming, so serious.

Hutch:  Carter, did you know that you have something funny on your head??

Aunt Vicki and Uncle Randy sent this adorable hat for Hutchinson!  Doesn't he look sweet?!

Finnean LOVES his camera that Aunt Ellie and Carter got for him!  He takes pictures ALL the time!

Hutchinson's first bite of fruit, bananas!

Adam and Maddy

Getting a few snuggles in from Hutchinson on Christmas night.

Pretty sure that this picture sums it up.  We were all exhausted!!!!
