Christmas 2013

 We had fun doing our Christmas festivities this year.  I made cupcakes with the boys and they loved getting to decorate them.
 Tyson just loves doing crafts!
 The finished product.
 I love Christmas Eve.  We have carried on the tradition from the Hensley family of making a yummy dinner, and I look forward to it every year!  The boys love getting to eat in the  dining room with the fancy china plates and the candles:)  I love how it sets the mood for fun anticipation of what is to come in the morning.
 The boys got to open their Christmas pj's after dinner and were so cute wearing them to bed.
 Checking their stockings before heading to bed.  They are empty!!
Tyson is just pleased as pie to find the remote controlled helicopter under the tree that he asked Santa for. 
 He also adores the new guitar and has been practicing quite a bit.  I am seeing some lessons in his future!
 Jace immediately starting rocking it out on the electric drum set Santa left for him!!   He loves it!!
 Tyson takes a turn on the drums.
 Jace totes the guitar around the house and puts on cute performances at times.
Jace so excited to be opening presents. 
The boys are so excited to get to open the big present!! What could it be???!
 A new workbench with all the tools!!  My favorite quote of Christmas morning was from Jace who yelled..."Oh!!!  It's NOT a giant toilet!!"  The poor kid thought I had wrapped a potty up for them:)
 We had a great and relaxing Christmas day as a family, complete with a huge breakfast cooked by Silas and afternoon naps:)  Perfection!!  Christmas 2013 was topped off with a huge blizzard that brought us over 8 inches of snow and gave us a very rare white Christmas!!
