Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope that everyone got exactly what they had been wishing for. As we laid in bed last night we listened very hard for Santa. Would you believe that we actually heard him land, jingle his bells, and even yell, "Ho, Ho,Ho!" Our tradition is that the boys sleep in our bed (1 time a year) on Christmas Eve. It was great. A few minutes later Anthony came running up the stairs to see if we had heard what he did. He had been watching TV and he said Lucy (our dog) started going crazy. The boys were WILD!!! Then... in Santa's note to the boys he told them that he had stopped early in the night but Lucy had scared Blitzen and so he had to come back. :) It was cute!

The boys (and Abby) were up at 7 and so eager to get downstairs. When we got down stairs we noticed that Santa had been very good to us (Amen). Hayden had been blessed with a huge gumball machine (fully loaded), Hudson with a Nerf gun and some Wii games, Abby a dolly and tub, and Anthony and I new pots and pans (how did Santa know)??? Then we opened from each other. What a fun day!
There was only 1 little unfortunate incident. Hudson and Hayden were playing (rough) on our bed and Hayden slipped and hit his mouth on our foot board. His top gums are literally pushed up and his right cheek on the inside is pretty banged up. I panicked and Anthony stayed calm. We went back and fourth on whether to take him to the ER or not. It may need some stitches to hold the gum back down. I really thought he was for sure going to have a couple loose teeth also. We can't get our figures in there to check yet. OUCH!!! He was such a trooper. He cried for a little bit, but got super tough. I may take him to our dentist tomorrow. We shall see! UGH!

I have all of this week off and next. We are hoping to hook up with some friends in Waverly over New Year or hanging around here will be fine too. Merry Christmas Everyone!
