We tried to decorate the tree with the most care, Carter broke a few ornaments and mom about pulled out her hair. :) 
We hung the stockings above the fireplace, in hopes that Santa would come with haste.
Cooper sang a few Christmas songs and although it didn't take too long, Mom was the proudest she could be because he sang with his Kindergarten class for all to see.
The boys painted Christmas pictures to decorate the house, they had lots of fun and it kept them as quite as a mouse. 
Cooper sat on Santa's lap and became as nervous as can be. Carter thought Santa was a bit strange,but decided he would sit to get some candy.
We also made sugar cookies for Santa and friends to eat,
Cooper wrote Santa a real sweet note and
Carter found the cookies to be a most delightful treat!
When Christmas morning finally came, toys and presents were opened and claimed (well, except for the underwear that Cooper deemed LAME)!! :)
A Bakugan for Cooper. It's a weird little toy. But when he saw it he nearly jumped for joy!
A race car for Carter to keep him quite busy, or maybe it is meant to make mom super dizzy.
A new hat for Blaine and a Harry Potter DVD, a movie for us to watch later on the TV.
Carter LOVES Elmo, just ask him to sing the song. He can belt out the words to Elmo's world without getting one word wrong. 
A dragon castle was high on Cooper's list. Santa knew he would be in trouble if this one was missed.

Video games, just like dad, made Cooper very glad.
A Stocking full of candy makes the day complete. Surely nothing else can compete?
But wait there is more, can it be? Santa left a note about a gift outside by a tree.
A trampoline, oh what fun! Now they can jump and jump until the day is done.
Then on to my mom's, lots of wonderful food to eat. Her pies, rolls and dressing can't be beat!
Family, fun and lots of food always puts us in the Holiday mood!
How many people can fit on one couch? Five or more, my family can vouch!
Adam and Carter are cousins and best friends. They love to play with each other and the fun never ends.
Finally the day was over and it was time to rest. A cozy little spot with Papa was just the best!
But wait, there was one last Christmas surprise for us to take home. Little Henry dog was coming to our backyard to rome.
Cooper thinks Henry is just the best. A step above all the rest.
Carter thinks Henry is a fun little toy, but Henry just loves having a cute, caring little boy!
I finally made homemade wheat rolls that came out just right. They were tasty,soft, fluffy and light! I also tried some monkey bread which was gobbled up with much delight.
So 2009 has come to an end and I am very excited for 2010 to begin! No one knows what will happen or what it will bring, but hopefully happiness and joy throughout all will ring.
