Our Christmas celebrations started December 23rd...the boys left cookies for Santa the night before in hopes that he would make an early stop since we wouldn't be home for Christmas. As luck would have it, he was able to stop by.
Some of Santa gifts were....Brett got a sports trunk for all his sport gear, a new baseball glove, Blake got a new sled (which he wasn't sure why Santa gave it to him since there wasn't any snow), case for his leapster and games, hot wheels radio/alarm clock and they both got nerf footballs for their indoor football games downstairs.
The stockings were filled with chocolate marshmallows santas, dvd's, spy glasses, and pokemon cards.
Brett also got a digital camera from us that he is super excited about taking to the bowl game. Blake got a new pair of cowboy boots and he was so excited when he put them on that they weren't tight on his feet like his old ones. (They were too small but I had been making him squeeze his feet into them until Christmas.)
The boys also got rockets to build and shoot off with their dad. I love Blake's expression.
And last but no least the boys got a Jordy Nelson fathead. It's lifesize and pretty cool. Can't wait to get these on their walls.

My favorite gift was once again Girls Weekend with my KSU roomies, Kelly and Jill. Marty has given me/us this gift the last couple of years....they plan the date and where...and I get to find out at Christmas. This year we are headed to Manhappiness!! We are staying at the Scenic Valley B and B and hoping to take in a KSU bb game. We can't wait. I also got a new KSU blanket, Bridesmaid dvd, waffle maker (which might Brett's fav gift).
Christmas Eve day we headed to my in-laws. The annual kid pic by the tree was taken before presents. L-R (Erica, Garrett, Emily, Brett, Karlie, and Blake).

Blake with his in-take.
After presents there was a heated game of "Can you name 5".
Christmas Day we drove up to see my Grandpa and Grandma Theye. Even though we missed the rest of the family (they all get together Christmas Eve) it was nice for my Grandparents to actually get to talk and see the boys and us. We even got to play a around of pitch with them before we left and I can't tell you when the last time I got to play cards with them was.

We spent the weekend eating great food (I might be a little biased as Marty and I cooked a mean steak and lobster tail dinner with twice baked taters, steamed brocolli and shrimp and stuffed shrooms as appetizers). Then it was the annual kid pic by the tree before presents. 
After presents the adults started their card playing until ringing in the new year. Sunday we took the boys to see Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked and then home to play more games and finally send Scott, Jenn and Steel back to Kansas City. Mom and Dad stayed over and left this morning. It was a great weekend and Christmas holiday. The weather was absolutely perfect in my book and I'm pretty sure we'll pay for it later but I'll take it anyway.
