more from Christmas Day

The boys woke up at 5:15am on Christmas morning and looked at their gifts under the tree. They were very excited and woke up Cody, me and Gigi.  Then they played with their new toys for the next 2 hours until the rest of the family woke up. So, sadly, I do not have a "surprise" picture of the boys, but I did get a couple of Annabelle seeing her new toys from Santa (and the boys are in there being excited with her.)

the aftermath: notice the rug...a  gift that morning from Cody to me and we put it down before opening the rest of the gifts (old rug is still rolled up in the corner), Casey is wrapped up in his new quilt from my mom, Cody's new Keurig is under a new grey shirt, Annabelle is in the breakfast room eating a applesauce pouch, Cody is holding his mom's new iPad from his dad and telling her all about what it can do. Stockings haven't been opened.

Right before Christmas Annabelle started saying "ho ho ho" and every time she said it she would hold her belly with both hands...Don't know where she learned this but it's too cute!

Now that we have opened our presents, my mom sent em the brainstorming list of gift ideas the boys had for what they could give to Cody and me for Christmas.  Here are their ideas:
