Christmas Morning

Christmas morning Ryan woke up and came to our bed like normal and asked if Santa had come. This is the first year that we have even talked about Santa. We have two fireplaces in our townhouse so he kept looking up to see how exactly that was going to work. I just told him that he just does. When he came in he asked if he could go down stairs. Cameron was still asleep so I wanted to give him a little more time plus my Gparents come over to watch the boys open there gifts and then I make breakfast so I told them to come at 7:30 and it was only 7am. I told him that he could go and see if there was anything there or not it was so funny to hear how excited he got when he saw everything that was down there.

I had Ryan call Gma and tell her that he was awake and to come over and thank goodness they were just getting into the car.

Ryan is super excited to open his gifts but Cameron still wasn't awake and then we heard this little one at the top of the stairs.

He didn't sleep all night in his Elmo jammies because he had a leaking problem. He wasn't very happy that I was flashing him with a camera at this point.

Cameron loved this microphone as you can see he didn't want to put it down.Wipeout for Wii everyone is excited.

Cameron's favorite gift of the day his Handy Manny Quad. He had a blast running into everyone and everything.

Ryan finally got his own DS. He has been playing the girls for about a year now and loves it. Now he has his very own and it's not pink so that makes him happy. Still hasn't figured out the games very well since he is use to playing the Wii but I am sure he will have mastered it in a few months.

Gma and Aunt Deanna looking at some of the loot that they got. Ryan had a blast with Aunt Deanna and was really sad when she had to go home.

Even Gpa Bird got up and made it out for Christmas morning. I think it is more for biscuits and gravy but whatever works right.

This little boy is sooooo excited for his new DS. It was good that Santa put that one towards the back of the tree so that it would be the last gift that he opened otherwise I think he would have opened this one and then the others wouldn't have mattered.

Cameron is so excited to play racing game (mario cart) He always wants to play even when Ryan is at school. He doesn't know how to yet but he sure pretends that he is driving when everyone else is. Can you tell that he loves pictures.

I don't have any pictures from Christmas at the Matthews because we all did gifts at the same time and with 18 or so people wanting gifts at the same time it can get a little crazy. I was handing out the gifts so I didn't get any pictures I will have to see if anyone else did and then I will add them later. Some of the very cool things that the boys got was car maps. Linda gets toy catalogs throughout the year and Ryan loves to look at them. On came a while back that had an airport car map as well as a normal one. So Ryan got the airport one and Cameron got the regular one. So one is upstairs in there room and the other smaller one is down in the playroom. Cameron got his own car garage thing, Ry also got some blocks that we haven't gotten out yet because I have hidden them until I can find a good way to store them but I know he will love them because I did when I was little. Blaine got a tent so I guess that means I will have to sleep in it when we go camping next. I also told Blaine that means he is going to Fathers and Sons since he has one now. HaHa. Over all it was a very good Christmas everyone was very generous and the nice thing is there was no fighting and everyone was happy.

We did end up going out to the cemetery to take some pretty Christmas flowers to Emily. The nice thing is that Ryan and Grandma got her a little dog just after Thanksgiving and the really nice thing is the dog was still there.

The very interesting thing is every time that we go to the cemetery Cameron just goes and sits down like this every time and will just sit there for a while. There seems to be a connection between them and I am sure there is but it is so cute because he just sits there.
