Merry Christmas

So Christmas was absolutley perfect this year! Busy put perfect. The boys were so much fun, and it just amazes me the amount of joy a candy cane, a "yum-yum" (M&M's), and especially "pwesents" can bring! The boys loved opening presents (of coures it didn't matter what was inside), although when I asked them what they wanted Santa (or "HoHo" as they so affectionately call him) to bring, Reid said he wanted a ball....I mean really!?!? So simple...good thing Santa over nighted that TeePee from The Land of Nod when all he really needed was a ball he could pick up at the local drug store! Oh well we are enjoying our teepee too. So our Christmas celebrations started early with the "Turman Christmas" at The Ranch on the 20th and the boys had so much fun opening presents and visiting with Santa who happened to drop by on his four-wheeler?!?! Don't ask :) Then we went to cousin "Bake's" house for more fun. We had fun exchanging gifts with Blake, and cousin Colin. Jay made the boys the most adorable old fashioned rocking horses just like our great grandfather made for Jay when he was little. Probably the coolest gift we received this year. Then there was more...Christmas Eve at Grammie and Pop's with more cool presents, lolly pop cookies with yum-yum's and lot's of egg nog :) Reid loved Grammie's Egg Nog! After that we went home and put out cookies and "melk" for Santa, sprinkled some reindeer food on the front lawn, read the Christmas story, and surprisingly the boys went straight to bed. The excitement on the their faces when they woke up to all the pwesents...ugh there are no words. We went to Nana and Papa's for a late night present marathon, visited with Pap and Nana Nik-Nik the next day, and the celebrations continued Saturday, and Sunday too!! I'm pretty sure Grant and Reid think you get presents every day now...good thing they have a birthday coming up :) I mean honestly 8 Christmas celebrations in one season??? Who says that too much?!?

Too Much Egg Nog!

We love Grammie and Pops

  1. I love the pictures! I'm sure Christmas was a blast this year- what I would give to have seen their faces on Christmas morning! I can't believe "Santa" brought the teepee... Well really, yes I can! :) I bet your little Indians are having fun with it. Can't wait to make it out one of these weekends and see my big boys!

  2. Your family picture is to die for! And I bought the very same blazer and vest for Marc for our family pic that never happened. Sounds like Christmas was very fun and very busy! Miss you!
