Boxing day with the Bonney family.

Boxing day started out with the boys opening their gifts from us.


That was, of course, followed by some work in the barn and then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's to celebrate Christmas with James' side of the family.  We were late, but it's better late than never, right?



Grandma and Grandpa got Drew this.


The kids had fun with it.



Aunt Lisa and Uncle Norm gave H a lightning McQueen car.  He is OBSESSED with CARS lately.

Books too!  So exciting!


 A whole crap load of lego.....woohoo!!!!


Can I just say how I LOVE that they have each other?!?!  Cousins are the best.

Grandpa lighting dessert on fire.







We stayed all day...Hunter fell asleep on the ride home.

Perfect.

Another successful family Christmas visit!

Christmas day 2011

Drew was first to wake.  He was sleeping in his and Hunter's room with Nana.  He told Nana that he knew it wasn't morning yet, but maybe they should go out and check if Santa had come and then go right back to bed.

Poor man, it was 6:30 and not light out yet.....he was allowed to stay awake.

Hunter didn't sleep well the night before, so him and James slept in a bit. 

Papa got up with Drew, Nana and I.

Drew was allowed to open his stocking and the gift from Santa for just him.

He was super excited.

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking from here....

Santa must have been drinking when he chose this gift for the boys....it is a nightmare(for me anyways, the boys love it).






Nana and Papa really went to town this year.  The boys were literally opening gifts all day.  I'm not sure where we're going to put everything.


This will stay at Nana and Papa's.  It is a giant cranky.  The boys played with it all day.

Playmobil is fantastic, but it takes 5 million hours to put together.




We skyped with Uncle Jamie.  He had sent gifts for the boys, so they were able to open them "with" him.  I was so very thankful for the computer that day.



Aunt Fran came over for lunch on Christmas day.  I was so happy that she came!

Aunt Lorene sent books from Calgary.





Aunt Fran got in on the spoiling action too.

She brought cake too!




Hunter played his air hockey game all.day.long.  He is obsessed with the damn game!  It's a perfect size for him.

Santa brought a mini-volcano for the boys to experiment with.

This is what Uncle Jamie sent for Drew.  It took James the whole morning to put it together.....but Drew LOVES it.  I love it too....it's really fun!


It was a long day, Hunter didn't nap and was exhausted  by the end of it.

Playing wii gave him some more energy to get him through the rest of the night.
There you have it.  Christmas 2011.

Merry Christmas everyone!
