Merry Christmas!

Wow...is it Christmas already??   I was super excited this year to see how Sam would react when he saw the presents under the tree.....

Boy was I in for a surprise!  I had the video camera on and thought I was taping but I wasnt - grrrr...anyway - Sam saw the gifts and had a tantrum!!!  He kept saying no presents!  no presents!  Then he walked over and threw his presents!  oh geez!  So.... we took a  little break and had breakfast first.  Of course the traditional cinnamon rolls were on the menu - along with pancakes, bacon and eggs - yummy!

Once Sam had a full tummy we tried again and this time he was very excited to open his gifts.  He only asked for balloons and snacks - as soon as he saw the balloons he got a huge smile and played with those for quite some time!  Then he found the play-doh under the tree and that was it -all he wanted was his play-doh - LOL!  We hid that while he opened his other things.

Sam also loved his new Handy Manny Saw and helped cut up all the boxes =)

I made "cubicle snacks" for Mark - I filled 3 containers with salty, sweet, and sour snacks and put each of the boy's pics on the front - turned out cute!

Before we headed to MD for a quick visit we grabbed a few pics too:

oh yeah, this is how Sam smiles - one eye closed! hahahahaha

We made it moms and enjoyed a nice dinner with everyone and then opened some more gifts =)

Here is the yearly Grandma and grandkids pic:

And Sam and Hailey had fun hanging out too:

Last but not least we were 1 day off of having a white Christmas!!!  It snowed about 6 inches the day after Christmas - it was beautiful but VERY cold - Sam didnt get to play in it until 4 days later!

.... and I heard him exclaim as he drove out of site - Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
