"How was your Christmas?"

Amazing! The boys recovered from strep throat just in time to feel good. They were a FABULOUS age for fun, magic and understanding the TRUE meaning of Christmas. They really understood it.

"Jesus is God's Greatest gift. Because he saves us from our sin. God really loves us. Baby Jesus was the best gift ever." Ahh... sniffles... love them boys!

OK, so we had 3 major Christmas. We started on the 23rd with Corey's Mom's House in the Dalles. We spent the night there and on Christmas Eve morning began Christmas Numero Uno!

Here are the boys guessing what Christmas Present might be their own.

Mazzy made each boy a special card. She totally rocks as usual! She's Great!
Ha! Plus there was moolah in there!

Grant the sports boy got a BETTER BATTER BASEBALL. One of the most fun boy toys EVER people!

Gavin got the cutie polar bear outfit (they are STILL obsessed with polar bears - look at the Pez at the bottom of the picture) and a "digger"/ backhoe!

Gabriel received a leapster explorer and case! Rockin' Awesome.

Plus Mazzy and Papa John still had some snow. Here is the digger outside.

We made a snowman. Look at Gavin- he can't see, but Frosty was cute!

Yup, they named him Frosty and can sing (LOUDLY) the whole first verse.

They were laughing that they gave him a belly-button instead of buttons.

And here is where the fun ended, yup- Grant smacks Gavin with a icy snowball.

Tears, apologies and hugs.

Gavin is out! Corey takes him in and snuggles him up!

It seemed like fun, so all the boys chose blankets on Mazzy's couch!

That evening at my parent's house. Christmas Eve I tortured the the 5 cousins and made them sing Joy to the World for us, Well... because the is the only carol that my 3 littles know.

The boys get some gifts. There were some serious presents there!

Gavin and Grant get bike helmets from Uncle Andy and Sarah!

Gavin won't quit wearing his!

Grandpa and Grandma B. gave the 3 monkeys cute fleece hoodies.

It was a great evening and the food was DELISH!

This is Christmas morning! We spend Christmas at our house, all day us here. The boys needing to fully recover from strep and the business.

Daddy picked out a RC Car for each boy! Gabe's was a piece of Crap, but Gavin and Grant's were AWESOME, fun and EASY!

Gabe's best gift: a small, cordless vacuum!

Here they are excited for the next gift!

Corey was loving his gifts: flannel Carharrts, the softest blanket Evah!!!, a rockin' Chris Tomlin Cd, and Keurig Coffee holder. Yup ~ my first time since Gabe's birth I have done even remotely good at gifts. Could be I finally sleep now! :) The boys best gifts were handmade by Corey TREASURE BOXES for the boys, with real locks and keys stocked with everything cool imaginable. What a DADDY!

And yup ~ me, no make-up, a little sleepy but HAPPY! Happy because God sent Jesus to us, that is our Greatest Gift and my precious family is here with me. I love those 4 boys with all my heart, and there is just something special, magical and HOLY about Christmas. So how was my Christmas? Wonderful, the best yet!!! How was yours?
