breck LOVED playing Hungry Hungry Hippos! played it for hours!!:) one of my favorite memories from this Christmas!!

getting the meal ready!

kayden riding his big boy bike from santa!

opening presents!

Breck got undies in his stocking and a note from Santa telling him he was a big boy now and should use the big boy potty! he did once:)

the kiddos slept until 8am! we were surprised that we got to sleep in a bit. we always let the littles open their stockings while we wait for all the big kids to wake up:)

Santa

I love being Santa. Might be as fun as believing in him:) After midnight mass my mom took the babies to bed and Kyle, my dad, my brother Mark and Carrie and I all got to play santa. Stuffing stockings, bringing up the hidden presents and arranging the santa piles for the kiddos. Eating cookies (Uncle Mark did this for us:) he is our cookie monster!!) and carrots and leaving a thank you note from santa. It was so fun, full of giggles and smiles and has become a favorite part of the holiday for me! Next Christmas we will have more babies to play santa for and I can't wait!! Love that our family is growing and that my littles will have cousins close in age to them, memories with my cousins are some of my favorites!!
