Santa brought Corbin a guitar, which he had really been wanting. Now we just have to teach him how to play it!
Santa put all kinds of snacks in our stockings. I guess he knew we would be taking a long car trip to Atlantic City, NJ the next day! Once Bastian saw the granola bar, he didn't care about anything else. We had finished stockings and moved on to presents under the tree and Bastian was still working on that granola bar.

Naomi, Dave just couldn't contain the excitement when he opened up your package of bag clips! :)
We finished opening our presents under the tree and prepared to have breakfast with Dave's family, then we exchanged gifts with them.
Here we are trying out Guitar Hero, which Dave got from his parents. It is a lot of fun! Dave and I have spent a few nights together playing it.
And for the finale...............Dave's family had gone in together and bought our kids a nice swing set. I evacuated the house with the kids on Christmas Eve, so Dave and his dad could put it together. It was dark when we got home and we had also closed all the blinds and covered the back door window with wrapping paper. After we finished exchanging gifts with Dave's family we told the kids they had a big surprise and to rip the wrapping paper off the back door. They were so surprised and happy. They love the swing set! It will be real nice when we have grass grown or mulch laid down and the kids no longer come inside covered in mud!

It must be a family thing at this age. Zachary is obsessed with getting a guitar. He wanted a Leapster and a guitar for christmas but I convinced him to ask for the guitar for his birthday instead since "Santa" had already bought the Leapster. Looks like you all had a great day!!
What a fun Christmas! Rebekah can't wait to come and play on the new playset.
I love the pic of Corbin with his guitar. The red guitar and the camo pants, make him the perfect rock star! Too cute!
First, say hi to those Westbrooks parents for me...and Mike and Megan. Oh, the memories that come back when I see their pictures.
Also, we put in a similar playset this summer, and it was *the best* investment we have even made for the kids. They spent literally hours playing or just sitting in it on warm days. Even now, they play in it when it's covered in snow.
Finally, congratulations on the next boy...I know all about that 3 boys-1 girl combo.
