Christmas 2012

So I am about a month late with this post, but I couldn't miss doing a Christmas post.  We had a crazy, wonderful, and busy Christmas this year.  We were in the process of the big move, but we still managed to decorate the house.  Austin was really into the Christmas tree, Christmas lights, Santa Claus, Frosty and the Grinch so it was pretty cool.  This was Landon's first Christmas so of course that was special.  Austin happily opened all of his presents since Landon doesn't know how yet.  I can only imagine a few years down the road when they are ripping through presents at the crack of dawn.  

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at my mom's house this year.  We originally planned on staying at our house for Christmas morning, but logistically my mom's house just worked better with the two kids.  It was really nice to be able to spend extra time with the grandparents and  of course Austin loved it.  

  

After we opened presents at my mom's house in the morning we headed over to my dad's house in Edgewater.  Landon makes the 5th boy grandchild on that side so it's always a fun time with lots of mayhem!  Here are the boys all playing in Poppop's muscle car.

Since we weren't able to go to New Jersey this holiday season because of the move, Grandpa Ron and Grandma Patty came to visit us in our VA house one last time.  Austin and Landon loved spending time with them and of course opening all of the gifts.  Since Landon was sleeping during present time, Austin got to open all the gifts again.  He is getting quite good at ripping through wrapping paper!  Grandpa and Grandma even gave mommy and daddy a night out on the town kid free which was awesome.  

So many good memories with our family.  We look forward to our next Christmas which will hopefully be a little less hectic and in our new house!
