My little superheroes (my crowning achievement.....yeah, I made those...I know, I am SO SUPER crafty)

Gabe got the Spiderman tent he was hoping for. Although......funny........I haven't gotten a picture of him with it yet (you can see it in the background in the next picture). He was the only one who REALLY knew what was going on. He kept saying, "Where's another one I can open." Obviously there were too many presents for him to handle......next year we will let Santa bring his present and leave it at that. :)

Cael got a castle from Santa. It's perfect for him. He loves little things that he can hoard. He likes to line things up or stick them in his pockets. All of the kids are REALLY enjoying this one. Way to go Santa.

Isaac got a little plastic rocking "horse" in the shape of a dog. I don't have a picture of him on it yet. He wasn't really interested in the presents. He just wanted the food/candy. As you can see..........

He spilled some of his cereal. He is searching for it here. When he found a piece he would bend down and lick it up off of the carpet. It was hilarious!

Truthfully....it was total and utter chaos.
Cael was sick....although he looks pretty happy in most of the pictures ( because we had not given him ibprophen or eggnog yet.....not a good combo....especially when exiting the body).
The house was a total disaster and I was as cranky as ever.
Once we got over those few bumps in the happy road......things improved.

By the end of the day, Cael was feeling much better, the house had been somewhat restored to order, and I had mellowed out.
The day actually ended quite nicely.
Rob's parents and brother came over for a ham dinner. We got to enjoy their company AND good food.
I love FAMILY. There is nothing more important.
Tomorrow (Saturday) we are on our way to Utah to visit with MORE family. We are so excited. (Thank you! Thank you! for the plane tickets......1 1/2 hours of flying sure beats 14+ hours of driving......through snow storms!).

I am glad to hear that your Christmas was good...well, except for the barfing. I was more cranky on Christmas Eve. yesterday was pretty relaxed, but very cold. Our furnace is not working. This morning it is a nippy 59 degrees in our house. Can't wait to see you guys.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I'm sad it's already come and gone...
You made those capes! I am impressed! I want one! Well not for me, Kasen, but I will take one too! lol... have fun in Utah! I am glad you don't have to drive! YAAY for planes!
Looks like fun...the capes are great. AND Christmas with boys well just spells choas!
It looks like you guys had a great Christmas! How nice that you get to fly to Utah! I am jealous that you get to go a week before us! :)
