Merry Christmas!

Just around 7:30 this morning the pitter patter of little feet in the kitchen woke us up. It was Owen and he ran into our room and said "I want you!" as he climbed into our bed. We waited for Ben to follow... but nothing. Jason went to check and Ben was laying patiently in his bed. That was the last indication of patience this morning!

The moment he arrived in our room Ben was ready for presents. Owen was NOT. After much coaxing, it still took Jason carrying him to get Owen into the family room. Ben started unwrapping. Owen sat and watched. Finally the puppies in a playset in Ben's pile got him motivated and slowly but surely, Owen opened his gifts. The set of horses got a "gasp" but the puppies of all sizes were expected hits as well. And the backpack full of art supplies... well, he is still carrying it.

Ben especially loves his Justice League toys and his Green Lantern and Flash "muscle" costumes. He's been running and posing all day. We're getting ready to eat lunch now, play some more, and head to my mom and dad's for the night. More presents and time with family tomorrow.
Pics of some of the favorites, some superhero poses, and a small musical performance are included in this blog post -- enjoy!!

Treehouse present for both boys...

Don't mind the tooth-picking...Ben had just eaten a candy cane! Sorry -- you have to turn your head side-ways!!
