Florida Christmas...

Since we're headed to Cali for Christmas, we figured we would celebrate Christmas here first, rather than shipping all the gifts to Cali to be opened. Plus, Marble needed to have a Christmas, too. And she definitely got in to the thick of things.

Xan with Dad and the orange flashlight he got him.

Will got Xan a soft baseball. (Please note Marble staying close to the action on the floor.)

Will with Xan's gift - a cowboy and Indian set.

Will was excited to get a Gormiti play set.

Xan was very excited about his new light-up shoes.

Will shows off his new Sketchers.

Xan got a new Star Wars Lego play set. Of course Mom had to build it before anyone else could touch it! :)

The Lego history books were a huge hit. Both boys paused in the middle of the present opening to flip through them. I took them so they could stay occupied on the plane tomorrow.

Will with Dad and the No. 1 Dad travel mug Will got him.

Marble was eager for her gift - a flavored rawhide bone.

Marble plopped herself right in the middle of the kids opening their stocking stuffers. Talk about an attention hog!

Me with the gifts the boys got me: a green candle holder from Xan (he let me pick it out when we went shopping) and a #1 Mom necklace from Will.

Opening stocking stuffers... one of them being earphones. Will got blue and Xan got orange, so they "can listen to Mom's iPod on the plane."
