Christmas 2010

The boys are so excited to open presents Christmas morning. Unfortunately, Joshua came in our room a little too early and I asked him to go back to bed for a little while. Of course, he couldn't sleep anymore and I finally heard him crying because he really wanted to open presents. Poor little guy. It didn't take long to get him smiling, though. It was a great Christmas. I was worried the kids would be disappointed that they didn't get much, but they said it was one of the best Christmases ever. Thank goodness!

Steve got me a great hat and belt and lots of yummy junk food, among other things. He knows what I like.

I prepared Steve for a cold winter on the bike with some biking gear.

Joshua asked Santa for a Lego set and got it!

Noah asked Santa for a Nerf gun and got an awesome one!

Scott really wanted the movie How To Train Your Dragon from Santa and was pleasantly surprised when he got it.

Of course, there's always clothes.

Noah had so many holey jeans, it was time for some new ones.

Imagine Scott nodding his head up and down and chewing his gum. This is his "I look cool" look.

Scott begged for a hat like this months ago and was so excited that I remembered that. I'm such a cool mom!

Scott got Joshua some Alien Goo thingy.

Scott got Noah some sour Dots.

Noah was in desperate need of new shoes.

Joshua's gift to Mommy and Daddy. He made this in Kindergarten.

The boys were very happy to get the Leven Thumps series from Grandma and Grandpa Turner. They also were very excited about the money they received and spent it on new rollerblades.

Scott made us this cute little snowman tile in 3rd grade.

The boys thought it was awesome that I'd get something as cool as Tech Deck.

Daddy and the boys got the new Xbox Kinect and games. Very cool!

Elizabeth spent some of the money from Steve's dad on some hot new boots. Steve wonders where the Harley is that goes with them. The vest is from George also. Thanks!

I finally had to give up my old clock radio I've been using since I was a kid. It's time to grow up, I guess. I love this new one!

Noah gave us a cute little coupon book full of nice things he will do for us.

Steve decided it was time I had another bike. Of course, you can never have too many. This is my new cyclocross bike. I love it!!!

We gave our kitties some treats.

Phyllis gave us the cutest little dancing Santa scene.

Teresa and Deron gave the boys some great books and games.

We played games and ate food. It was a great day.

Deron finds a good read.

Steve, reading as usual.

Scrabble anyone?

Deron had to check out my new Dance Central game I got for the new Kinect. He was awesome!

Even Joshua gave it a try.

Shake it Teresa!

The Peres Family. Merry Christmas 2010!
