Stockings first.
Santa brought them both an ipod touch. We have all had a good time playing on them. I am amazed at the things they can do on these. They can take pictures, take videos, text, facetime, listen to itunes....very cool.
Kitty sitting pretty. She was the only one that got to nap during the day.
We had a full house with the cat and the dog. Scooby enjoyed her gifts too.
I can't believe they sat still for a cute picture before opening gifts.
Colin's presents all stacked up.
Cam's stack of gifts.
Colin had a very "Lego" Christmas. He didn't count how many he received but they have all been put together. That kid is a brain when it comes to Legos.
More Legos.
Cam was not left out of the Lego fun. Lego reissued some of their Super Hero series. He finally got a Batman Lego which he has asked for every year for Christmas and Birthday's for the last 3 year.
Breakfast was served at 6:30am to some (already) very tired boys. Despite the early hour, neither child took a nap. Fun was had by all until about 8pm that night. Then we all crashed.
The gift of the day...Cam's new Super Mariano skateboard. He is going to rock that thing!
Skipping to a few days after Christmas....Roxy and her family spent several days hanging out with us. Colin and Cam were enthralled every time Josiah picked up the guitar.
Jenni and her fiance, Josiah. What a happy happy couple. They will be getting married in June. We enjoyed having them here and tried our very best to convince them to come visit again. WE also tried to convince them to take Snicks, but they were wise to out game.
Having fun at Dave and Buster's. This was our first time there. What an experience. It was fun but noisy. I'm glad we went right when they opened. It was very busy by the time we left. We did have a good time but much like Chuck E Cheese, it's a once or twice a year field trip.
The boys playing Guitar Hero. We didn't know how to work to controls so we ended up playing to the song, "Talk Dirty to Me". Awesome. That's just what a 6 and 7 year old boy need to be listening to. 
Cam got bored with his new toys very quickly. This is his impression of, well, himself. He's just Cam being Cam. He sure cracks me up!
We were hoping to give Josiah the ultimate sledding experience. The weather did not cooperate. The snow melted here too quickly and the wind was blowing too much on the mountain. We had to settle for 30 minutes in the mud which quickly turned into a snowball fight instead.
Josiah is smiling big despite the disappointment.
We made a trip to Pearl Street and watched a lot of the street performers. Colin and Cam did a few tricks of their own and made it up the boulders.
On New Year's Eve Day, Roxy and her family left for the long drive back to KS. Then that evening we rang in the New Year with some great friends. The adults had fun too!
