Our Wonderful Christmas!!!

Oh our Holiday was so awesome!! Where to start!! Zachary I do not think is going to be one of those kids who wakes up at 3am to find out if Santa came. Because we have to travel to the West side for our X-mas with my in-laws, it means x-mas has to come really early at our house. So, 5 am rolled around, and neither Josh or I wanted to get out of bed. But, Ethan was wide eyed at that time like he normally is. This is the normal time that Mom gets up and goes to work in the morning, so he knew the routine. So, Mommy got up and went upstairs to get Zachary…..
I went into his room and quietly told him that Santa had come, and asked him if he wanted to go downstairs and see what he brought him!???? He quickly shook his head no. Hahaha
So I asked and asked if my poor buddy would get up, and the answer was No, time after time. So, Mommy just picked him up out of his bed, and quickly walked downstairs for him to see. The whole time, him kicking and yelling, pointing back upstairs, like, "Take me back to my bed!!" Hahahaha But, after he saw what Santa had brought him in the first package, things started to slowly move forward that he wanted to open more.
One at a time, Zachary opened some of his gift. Often, being so excited about what he got, he wouldn't move on to the next, without opening what he got, and trying it out first! This ofcourse was time consuming, and soon it was time to get up and get moving to the West side. So, we got the boys together and off we went! Did I mention ever how much more involved it is to get moving with two boys, instead of one!?? Oh my…. It is a challenge!! I do not want Ethan to grow up cause he is going to be my "baby" for awhile, but I can't wait til he can walk, etc! By that time, Zach will be dressing himself, etc. Life will be so much easier not having to pack a diaper bag, or the car like I am leaving for 2 weeks! But, you know how it goes -- You have to always be prepared!!

So, we got to the West side, and ofcourse it was awesome to see my in-laws. Have I told you how amazing my M-I-L is?? She always thinks of the greatest gifts to get us, and you can tell each one was carefully thought of. Ethan got a "car" for x-mas. He will be spending lots of time in that car! It is so darn cute. The horn plays music, and beeps, etc. He also got lots of beginner toys! Zachary got a Thomas train. He loved it! RED, his favorite color! Then, he got car, truck, after car, truck! Everyone knows how much he loves them!!
He got all kinds of fun things! He was so happy and content playing with 1 thing, if that’s all he got. :)
My M-I-L got me this CUTE bracelet which has hearts on it. From what I heard, my other S-I-L got one too, so we could match! :) I also got this black purse. But, its not just an ordinary purse….its a Magnetic one. It has different covers that go over it!!! I got like 5 different covers to go over it, which are SOOOO cute!! Can't wait to use this purse! I also got a hanger which hangs in my closet and holds the other covers while they aren't being used, and for easy use to just grab and go, without EVER having to switch out the contents in the inside of my purse! FANTASTIC idea, huh!???
I got some other little things too from each of the family members! :)
Josh got a new New York Giants coat! But this one has all the championship patches on it, and a whole bunch more. He also got a new electric razor. I was thinking of getting one for him, since the other one grew legs and walked off, I kinda figured someone else would get it for him though!! And Josh got some additional other things from the rest of the family!
We hung out for alittle bit, and then back to the East Valley we came for the remainder of the day! We got to my parents house, and we were just waiting for "Cousin" and my brother and S-I-L to come over to hang out. They got there, and the boys played, and we just hung out. Soon after, it was time to open presents. Zach was not interested in the least. He wanted to play with toys that he already had. Almost to show Mom and Dad --" Please don’t get rid of these, I still use them!!" Hahahaha
So, Zachary got a new TRAIN TABLE!!! WHOA… it’s a big one, with tracks, and trains. He is going to LOVEEEEE it! He sees them in the stores, and has a fit if we do not let him play with the trains, etc.
He got clothes, and toys toys toys! WONDER PETS even showed up there. He is in LOVE with them!! He got a Flyboat from Santa at our house, and wouldn't put that thing down. If I hear the theme song one more time,… I am gonna!! :) I am so glad he loves his toys!!!
Aunt Sara got him toys, and she got me this bracelet that I have on today. How is it that people just know me?? I love big balls!! Hahahaha <----------Sara I am sure you are having a laugh at this one!! HAHAHAHA
I got all kinds of cool things from each of the family members, that I am sure to use!!! From my parents, Josh and I got a carpet cleaner. Whoa baby, will this thing get put to good use. With my son, he has a never ending wonder with what will happen to the carpet if I slowly spit this out of my mouth on it. UH!!! I wish I could break him of this habit. We had a wonderful dinner, great company, and the holiday was AMAZING!!!! I am sad to see it go, cause I LOVEEE this time of year. But, excited to see what 2010 has in store for us!

Pictures to Come --
