Christmas Morning

Well the Allen Family woke up to a beautiful white Christmas this year. It started snowing pretty hard on x-mas eve day. We were able to have some family fun in the snow (post to follow). The scenery outside made Christmas seem that much more perfect.

 

 

Trey was very into Santa's arrival this year. Lots of questions for mommy and daddy to answer. We read the Polar Express before bedtime. This was a Christmas tradition I always remember while growing up. And of course we left some goodies out for Santa and his reindeer. Along with a card for the jolly old man.

 

We were planning on taking Santa pictures with the boys on Christmas Eve day since Curtis had just made it back in town. But the weather was getting so bad we decided to stay in the warm comfort of our home. 

Curtis and I worked until about 3am putting together this train set we had gotten Trey from the both of us. It literally took forever to assemble all the little pieces. Once we did finally go to bed Santa made his appearance and left way to many presents for our little rascals. 

 

We were so tired that next morning but as all you fellow parents know that doesn't stop excited little boys from waking early. We did have a wonderful morning as a family. It was fun to watch our two boys enjoy opening all their gifts. Here are some from the morning....

 

The boys with their Santa Pj's on.

 

Hmmmm..where to begin?

After the boys opened presents from Santa, the big reveal of the train set from mommy and daddy came.

Drum Roll please....

We didn't get the biggest exciting response we were expecting but I think Mr. Trey was already so overwhelmed with all his gifts from Santa. Well that is at least what Curtis and I were telling ourselves from the hours of labor from the night before.

Our masterpiece.

And the fighting begins....

Curtis and I were laughing how much life has changed. As a child you were so excited to receive gifts and now as adults/parents you are so excited for others to open their gifts. We love our boys dearly and Santa probably went overboard again but we couldn't have asked for a nicer Christmas for Trey and Noah.

 

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and best wishes for the New Year.
