Christmas in Sherwood

We celebrated an early Christmas with my parents and sister's family on Saturday, December 17th.  We all spent the night the day before and then enjoyed the whole next day doing"Christmasish" (name for our celebration that my sister made up) things!  Campbell got up early with Pops (around 6am).  I heard them downstairs and woke up to also find myself with low blood sugar so I got up and ate breakfast.  Once everyone else was up (around 9 am) I was ready for breakfast 2!  We had a yummy egg casserole for breakfast and then opened our Nonna and Pops gift bags. 

Prior to opening gift bags the boys entertained themselves by playing iPod.
Greyson getting ready to open presents!

Since the boys had on their Christmas jammies again we tried to take another picture...weird it didn't work any better this time!  Look who isn't cooperating AGAIN!  Isaiah, you silly boy!


Isaiah's first gift bag present was CARS magnets.  He had fun playing with them in Nonna's lap.

Campbell got the same CARS magnet set and he loved them too!


 
Yes, the CARS magnet set had a tractor.  Yes, my boy is giving his tractor a kiss.  TRUE LOVE!
Campbell was having fun making his Luigi and Guido tip over.

Isaiah also got a harmonica in his gift bag.  He taught himself pretty quick how to play it and he got pretty good too.


Dan played Isaiah's harmonica for him and taught him a thing or too.


Dan and Travis got these silly pet worm toys.  Dan was very good at controlling his worm and making him do tricks. 



Travis is always excited about new tools in his gift bag.


 Pops was a little excited about the rechargeable batteries (he knew about)!
Part way through opening gift bags I looked over and saw Campbell trying to put himself away on the toy shelf...or at least being goofing!

We decided not to exchange gifts with each other this year...other than get the kids gifts.  This is Isaiah opening up his gift from the Willis family.
Isaiah made sure in TRUE Isaiah fashion to STUDY the wrapping paper and nice bow before ripping into the package.

 Isaiah was excited to unwrap the present, but unwrapping was a PROCESS!








 Isaiah finally got his present unwrapped...and then didn't pay much attention to the actual gift.  However, now we read these books DAILY and he LOVES them!
Campbell was a little quicker in unwrapping his gift from us...and a little more interested in playing with the gift right away.



He even tried to show his brother their gift...but Greyson was having a little trouble sitting up by himself to really enjoy it much.
Greyson being cute and practicing his sitting up skills.

Prior to Christmas we decided NOT to exchange gifts between the adults, but I my parents didn't discolse that they had already bought gifts for us and would be giving them to us anyways.  A little unfair, but we LOVED our gifts and had NO complaints!  Can you guess what we got from this first picture...


The girls opened "i's" in our gift bags and the boys opened "pads". 
My amazing parents bought each family an iPad!  We are loving our new toy!
