Our Christmas Morning - 2010

It must be Christmas morning because the Darnell family are wearing their matching pajamas...
In 2008, I was surprised when Daddy agreed to wear matching pajamas on Christmas morning. And now here we are in 2010! We have reached our third Christmas morning in Christmas pajamas, I actually think Daddy is starting to enjoy our tradition even though he may not admit it. Click here to see the 2008 photo.

After we took our Christmas morning photo, the boys headed over to check out their stockings...

The boys were so excited to see everything. Wes discovered a book in his stocking was caught here saying "ooohhh, a booooook!" He was thrilled with everything...

This picture may have not captured his excitement, the boys were excited about their new socks (in Wes' hand) found in their stockings...

Santa must also think the boys are ready to graduate to Big Boy status because he left real big boy underwear for all of the boys...

"Right on Time" I guess this means we need to determine the 'right time' to actually give the new underwear a try. GULP...

Andrew loved his new Buzz Lightyear hat...

We can't forget the best part of the stockings.... the candy... The boys started opening their presents to find some new bath loofahs; Toy Story, Sponge Bob and Cars...

The boys then moved onto their other gifts from Santa.... Kung Zhu pets...

Along with the Kung Zhu pets, the boys also received the Battle Arena and some other accessories. Daddy and his helpers started putting everything together...

Wes - "Daddy do you need the instructions?"

The boys also received another 'Grandma book' on Christmas morning. Last Christmas, the boys received "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" that was narrated by Grandma. They love this book and went through a phase in which they demanded it every night for several months. The new book is "Frosty the Snowman." Jared seen below 'reading' Grandma's book...

Well, that's it! All of the excitement leading up to Christmas was amazing to experience with the boys. They were overwhelmed with all of the gifts from family and Santa. Apparently Wes wanted some more because he wanted to hang his stocking back up for some more presents...

Once we had opened all our presents, we started watching Monsters, Inc that Pooka gave to us. By the end of the Christmas weekend, we had watched Monsters, Inc probably 5 times. However, there is nothing better than cuddling up with the boys to watch a movie, even if we have already seen it 1,000 times. Seriously, can you beat this... Christmas morning is complete. The next event on the list is Christmas dinner with family at Uncle Lance and Aunt Kim's house.

Merry Christmas from the Darnell Family!

Take care,
