Christmas is a week long event in our family! So many places to go and people to see. It all began the weekend before at Grandma Karen's. This year we had a new cousin to join in the fun. He had a great time crawling all over the presents and was happy to play with wrapping paper, he didn't try to steal the boys' toys... can't say the same for Sutton trying to steal Tristan's toys though. Grandma Karen got the boys big snow plows among other things, and we all know how much those are needed this winter. The boys couldn't wait to go outside and try them out. (Sutton is hidden in this pic behind his snow plow box).
Then it was onto Kathy's (Smiling Tots Preschool) where they did a Xmas program and sang songs. Santa came to visit and brought each of them a gift. 
Next up was Xmas Eve with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Patty. This year along with Ryan, Michelle, and Tristan we were also joined by Emily and her "serious" boyfriend Brian (as Patty would say, ha ha). The boys had a blast and were thrilled to recieve official gear to begin their training as future teammates on the Iowa Hawkeye football squad. We anticipate Mason (running back), Easton (receiver), and Sutton (kicker) to be All Americans with all this early practice they are getting. Nothing would make Grandpa Bob more proud than to cheer on his own Hawk grandsons!
Christmas morning the boys woke up in their matching jammies to come find out what Santa brought for them in their stockings. Then later in the day Jesse, Joc, Lana and Papa all came up for some more present opening.
This is what they do when I tell them to "look at me and be cute." Trained much?
Mason may never listen to us again. 
Easton was so thrilled to get a skid loader.
Opening presents is serious work.
