Christmas Morning!

This was the best shot we got of all of us! The kids were too excited to sit still long enough to get a decent picture !

Both boys were so sweet and had a lot of fun opening presents!


My parents got Noah a little "radio flyer" rider thing! He opened it and sat on it IMMEDIATELY and proceeded to rock and "ride" on it, while it was still in the box! Super cute! I wish I'd had my video camera out! Thanks Mom and Dad!


Noah kept going around to all the presents and sitting on them. Silly kid!




We made the mistake of letting Mason open the Monsters vs. Aliens movie first! He didn't really want to open anything else after that! He just wanted to watch the Monsters movie!

Here is a short video clip of the boys opening presents, or in Noah's case, just sitting on the presents.

Christmas Eve

Tradition! In my family on Christmas Eve we always have a Christmas party with dinner, some gift exchanges and a nativity re-enacting! I love it! However, because Mason was sick only Noah and I made the Faler family party.

Noah as one of the shephard's.

Noah with Aunt Maryann and Uncle Nate. (Which by the way he looked in the mirror and said An-na for the first time! I love it!)
"Baby Jesus!" on the loose! (My 9 month old niece Ella was Baby Jesus this year and... she did pretty good considering! :)

Noah's not in this picture because he was a "wandering shepherd" most of the time!

Noah kept doing this during the program! Funny but NOT very reverent.

Are you sleepy?

How tired is this? I LOVE it!

Sorry about the shaky camera work! I was trying REALLY hard not to laugh!!!

All I want for Christmas!

I guess this is what happens when you brag that your child never gets sick! Poor Mason!

He isn't too sick (yet?!?!) But has had a low fever for the past 24hrs. He points at his throat and says "My neck hurts!" It's kinda cute but I feel bad for him. Sometimes it's nice to have a lethargic child but... I prefer and miss my happy, full-of-energy, and lots of fun Mason.

(I'm so not complaining, I know it could be 100 times worse but it's CHRISTMAS!)

All I want for Christmas is healthy boys!

Noah's Dance Moves

Noah absoluetly LOVES music! Whether we are in the store with background music playing or in the car, he is always doing his own little dance!

With this song he's trying to do the motions "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes..." He gets as far as the head and that's good enough for him!

Mason "flipping" out!

Ok so... I guess I went a little too far this time. For the record I don't let Mason do this anymore! He's just so fun to play with. But... I guess I need to think about his safety. I don't want him to break his neck. Bummer! Maybe we'll try again on the trampoline in a couple years! :) BAD mommy!
