Christmas with the Woodward’s

This Christmas was our first as a family of five and it was very special for all of us! We shared so many great memories and had Mimi and Dunka here to share them with.  It was their first time spending Christmas morning with our family.  Bradley was so excited Christmas morning.  He ran into our bedroom to wake us up after seeing Santa had indeed left gifts and stockings for all of us.  He said “Mommy, Daddy…Santa came quickly in the middle of the night while I was sleeping and he left me presents…come see…hurry!”

Cookies and Egg Nog left for Santa.  He left the boys a note too.

Mimi and Dunka’s crafty stocking made by me…ha-ha!

Gavin’s Christmas gift.  He got this one big gift from Santa since he is just at that age.  He LOVES it and Bradley pushes him all around the house in it.  It wont stay in the house but it has been great with them being cooped up inside since its cold.

A recorded card Bradley made for them.  They were laughing because he recorded the “farting frog” for them.

Gavin picked everything up off the floor after we opened it and in his mouth it went!

Bradley had to take every single piece of paper off (even from the bottom) before he opened his gifts.

He got Woody and Bullseye…

This is what he had wished for the most…Batman! He had been asking for Batman with the Vroom Vroom (motorcycle) but he also told his teachers he wanted a race car so Santa gave him the “Batman with the race car.” Well, he made sure to let us know about Santa’s mistake.  This kid remembers everything!

The day before our family friends Mike & Vicki in California sent the boys these matching bear hats.  Thank You so Much Mike & Vicki…here is their picture.  We love the hats! 017

We didn’t have a white Christmas but when we woke up this morning, we more than made up for it….

Aww, Ryder has had SO much fun already with his car. In fact, Daddy is doing donuts with him in the kitchen right now! Too bad Ryder doesn't have an awesome big brother to push him around!

Glad you guys had a great Christmas :)
