Christmas Morning...

Well, that sweet Santa did make a stop at our house and made two children very excited!  I even heard from Anna Lauren...we have the BEST Santa!

All Cooper wanted was a weed eater...but he also got some headphones, a flipeez hat, and a stocking full of candy.

Anna Lauren just wanted paint pens...but she also got some boxes to paint on with her paint pens, head phones, an outfit, and a stocking full of candy.

This was the 2nd year she had asked for paint pens...last year Santa obviously thought she was not old enough because she didn't get them.

Walking into the living room on Christmas morning...

Elfie never showed up this year so Cooper was really excited to see him when he walked into the living room.

You cannot see his face, but you can see that smile...he was so excited to finally get his weed eater!

Anna Lauren checking out the treats in her stocking...

So fun that Anna Lauren can read now...she was reading the letter from Elfie...

Too cute in his safety goggles...

Cooper opening bag #1...

Hmm...looks like he found an airplane and some boarding passes in all that shredded paper...

He's pretty impressed with just the airplane...

Sister on the other hand realizes it's plane tickets to fly somewhere and is screaming with excitement!

And now Anna Lauren is opening bag #2...

Trying to figure it out...

And then she gets it...we are going on in a cruise in 74 days...Spring Break!

Cooper will just play with the big ship while Anna Lauren asks one million questions...like Nanna said, it may be a LONG 74 days!

Santa left us a countdown...we can rip off a day everyday and count down to our week of fun!

This silly boy...cannot help but love him...he is precious!

Squeezing his hat and making the ears stand up...

Happy Aunt Kate sent her a Justice gift card...she now has $80 to spend at Justice.  Lord, help me prepare for this shopping trip!

Anna Lauren picked out a present for Daddy all by herself...Bingo!

Cooper sort of picked out a present for Daddy, which he is opening...

And it wouldn't be Christmas without something practical...

The kids opening the presents they bought me...I've been wanting tips/icing bags to decorate cupcakes so that is what I got.  Along with a flower pan and a brownie mix.  Will be a fun activity for us while we are home next week...

You know this little man...doesn't take long before he finds the door and heads outside to do his "work".

And that was our fun Christmas morning at home before heading to Brookhaven for a couple days!
