From 8:30 to about 3:00 the boys opened presents. It's not that we had THAT many presents but they enjoyed every one of them, one by one. Santa brought a baseball glove and trains for Parker. He also brought a new set of plastic golf clubs for Lincoln as well as the shared gift of the trains. Henry received a new krinkle book and a firetruck from Santa.
The older boys were so enthralled with the trains that they barely ate anything. Parker didn't touch any food until after lunch time. Why eat when you have trains?
The boys gave Willie a new pair of sunglasses, Nutella, and Mickey Mouse Yahtzee. He loved his presents from the boys.
All the boys received at least one new book. This picture must have been near the 3:00 point of the day if the boys left the trains to hear some stories from dad.
Grandma Joan sent a present in this big bag. We tried to send a different present back but the mail carrier wouldn't take him. :)
Henry enjoyed little bits and pieces of the Christmas day. Here he is in his new snowman pj's from Grandma Nanette and Grandpa David.
This was the only picture we had a chance to take of the boys in their new pj's. They do love their snowman pj's but it was a rough evening so their a little sad.
One Christmas miracle was that it snowed in Atlanta on Christmas day! This hasn't happened on this day since 1880 ish. That's a long time without a White Christmas. I'm grateful for the gift Heavenly Father sent us on this special day. I sure do love the SNOW! Thank you to those who sent us gifts. We love you lots. We hope to always remember our Savior, especially on Christmas (and Easter, and everyday).

Awe, Krista! I love it! Your boys are so darling. I love that you tried to emphasize Christ's Birthday--you guys are amazing. I loved seeing the boys playing with their toys all day long! :)
Oh, and you're genius!! I was so bummed we didn't have sleds here in the UK, so next time, we're pulling out the baking pan! How very clever of you!! :)
