D5 Christmas

Today we had our family Christmas and we woke up to SNOW! The boys were so excited that right after breakfast we headed outside to do some shoveling.






Since we had our family Christmas on a Thursday due to Tom's work schedule (Christmas is on Sunday) we decided to take advantage of going out to eat for lunch at a restaurant knowing that it wouldn't be busy. We went to the Log Cabin in Baraboo and it sure was YUMMY! We took the back country roads coming home and stopped alongside the road so that Daddy and Sawyer could look over the bank and check out the river.




Sawyer and Mason taking their picture together before we opened up our presents. I just love the brother bond that they have already built between each other.



Sawyer opening his present from his Rainbow teachers (Miss Donna and Miss Sherri). This is right at the moment where Sawyer turned to look at me and yelled with excitement "It's God!" when he saw that it was a Bible Story coloring book.



Sawyer also was able to "buy" presents at Rainbows to give to us for Christmas. Daddy got a ball (it was actually a round candle), I got green nail polish, Sawyer gave himself two bouncy balls, Mason received binoculars and Carter got a stuffed bear. Sawyer was very proud of the gifts he picked out for everyone.


One day while shopping at Kohl's with Mie Mie I was standing in line for the check-out and Mie Mie and Sawyer were bringing up the rear taking their time walking to the check out lane. I turned and noticed that they were looking at some jewelry when all of a sudden Sawyer comes running to me and says "Mommy these are for you for Christmas!" According to Mie Mie Sawyer stopped all on his own, picked out a pair of earrings and when Mie Mie asked him if he was going to wear earrings Sawyer replied with "No these are for Mommy" and then he took off running. How could I say no after he brought tears to my eyes. (Good thing they were on sale and we had a coupon!)



We ended the FUN day by playing with all our new toys/games. Here is Sawyer and Mason playing with the game "Trouble".
