What a wonderful time of year Christmas is! I get so excited to re-live all our traditions and to simply be able to spend time together as a family. Abraham was old enough this year to learn the Nativity story and he and Tyler enjoyed acting it out with our awesome nativity that Aunt Carie made us all season long. We had a wonderful holiday and hope you all did too!!
One last thing before I begin with pictures ... this is the second year in a row we've had secret visitors leave us treats on our doorstep. We LOVE suprises at our house and these have been especially tasty suprises. So, if your secret elves are reading our blog, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for our yummy treats!
Tyler woke up grumpy at 4:30 in the morning. He wasn't into presents at first, but quickly caught on. 
Abraham had no problem catching on to opening presents. He is at such an awesome age and every present was his best! My favorite was when he opened his bike helmet. His face immediately fell and he said, "What is this? I don't want it." We told him it was a helmet and asked him why Santa might have brought him a helmet. You could see the light go on and he said, "a bike helmet?" and then immediately ran over to his remaining gifts (none of which were bigger than a shoebox) and said, "which one of these is a bike??". The bike had been hiding in the dining room.
We were so lucky to have my parents spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with us. Grandma and Grandpa made everything much more special. 
Tyler spent most of his morning playing with his new Thomas trains.
We got some great gifts from our family members. Thanks to everyone who sent such awesome presents!
Abraham spent most of his day playing with the Bat Cave.
Abraham's first look at the ball pit that Uncle Gordon sent. Needless to say, the boys love it.
After a wonderful day, the kids were happy and exhausted. Abraham fell asleep hugging his new Scooby Doo that Grandma Red made for him.
Merry Christmas!

What a great time we had at your house. Abraham and Tyler were so much fun, even when Tyler was a little grouchy.
The bat cave! Our boys both put that on their Christmas list...
I love the story about Abe and the bike..
What cute boys you have!
So glad you guys had such a great Christmas!!
Looks like a great time...but are those swords that Ken is holding up?
Fun! I'm glad your parents were able to be there. I love the picture of Abe asleep at the end. A perfect ending.
I'm so glad you guys had such a wonderful Christmas! I love the story about the "light" coming on about the bike!
Looks like tons of fun. Mom and Dad bring the snow with them wherever they go. (it is kind of annoying huh)
Kim,
Here are a few random things (make a motion as though you are grabbing some air with your fist.)
#1 I really like that ball pit thingy. I wonder where Uncle got it.
#2 I always read other people's comments and now I am curious about the "news" referred to in the previous comment... but I won't ask. :)
#3 No I never received your couponing letter. I have anxiously looked for it because I am not doing super good with my couponing. (Well November was pretty good - but since then - not so much)!
#4 I already told you that I love those family picture but now I am telling you again because yellow is totally your color.
Talk to you later.
How fun! I love the ball pit thingy. What a cool idea! I'm glad y'all had a good Christmas!

Nice trick move on the bike! Looks like a great Christmas.
