This year the tree, eyes and smile light up at night. I think the boys are getting tired of me taking pictures of them as they did not want to pose in front of it this year. Christmas eve we opened presents from each other as well as our friends and family from around the country and over seas. 
All four Santas from Germany arrived in one piece! and are surveying wether or not the boys have been good or bad. The day of Christmas Eve they were definitly on the "bad"list. Thanks Heike for all the gifts! we cant wait to play the game!
From Japan the boys received a box full of Keiko treats! And a fun book on how to write Japanese words. Jamison started right away! and Peter loved the Pokeman magazine! Thanks Keiko! 
The boys found an investment with the greatest return.....for only $2.99 you can buy a 1 million dollar bill! Each boy gave Pat one.....he is rich!! 
Peter gave Jamison a nerf shot gun. Not my favorite idea but he came up with it all on his own and Jamison is very excited. Now we need to talk about some basic hunting saftey rules....#1 no shooting your brother mother father or pets. Jamison gave Peter a Koby Bryant statue that went up to Peter's book shelf of treasures. 
Pat and I gave the boys sa DS. (excellent finds on craigslist and Pats old one but they dont know that. How else can anyone afford that stuff!?) And this his how the boys look most of the time. According to the boys "This is the best Christmas EVER"...and Santa has not even come yet. 
The boys were fascinated with watching NORAD's santa tracker. He was getting closer and closer so you better get to bed little boys!
And boy did Santa come! We have a tree in the up-up stairs and the boys did not know which tree he was going to drop the load so they devised a plan. Who ever wakes up first goes and wakes up the other. Then one boys runs up-up stairs and the other runs downstairs and they will call to each other about what they found. It was super cute to listen to. Santa did make it to the up-up stairs because the lights were mysteriously on....I know I did not leave them on. But all the presents were downstairs. Jamison declared that they must have been better than what he was thinking because Santa brought all of these presents! 
Jamison was besides himself when he opened "World of Zoo" a DS game that he has been wanting for almost 2 years. I told him that I contacted Santa to let him know that we were giving him a DS so hopefully he would bring a game. And he did! 
I dont know whose kid this is....I thought we lived in Packer country! 
Peter was decked out in all basketball clothes...a Lakers hat and a Portland Jersey! I dont think Santa thought it was a good idea to bring Viking clothes to WI.....and he is a smart man!
The boys have been wearing the hats every day! I keep my house cool, but a hat is not required. I guess it is cool to wear them ALL of the time. 
After all of the gift opening the boys wanted to get started on the Lego building....and they got a lot of Legos! So we had a lego building party! 
Pat has been miserably sick for weeks....so we headed up to Green Bay with out him. (he ended going the the doctor...something that NEVER happens and was given some meds for a serious sinus infection. He is now on an upward trend). We picked names and opened presents from grandma/pa and aunts and uncles. Instead of going the normal "by age" order, we played a game of picking out names from a hat. The boys were real sports as they were the second and third to last to open. poor guys! 
They were real good helpers for their younger cousins! 
The siblings did a $5 limit game. Pat bought $5 worth of scratch off lotter tickets that seemed to be sought out by many. One card even won $2! 
Video games are loved by all ages!We are having a fantastic holiday. Thank you everyone from your warm holiday wished and gifts. We hope everyone has a safe, healthy 2011!
