Christmas Day

The boys actually slept in a little. They did not wake up until about 7:30. William and Jake were really excited. They liked all their toys. Who knows what Ethan and Emily thought as they just kind of sat there and opened their presents without much of a word. I guess I should not have expected more as they are not very grateful children. They have it so easy here it is not even funny. I never even heard a thank you. William and Jake both said that. I guess their mother doesn't beat them down with manners. I am getting off track. That is another post for another time. Anyway. My family got here starting about 12:30. Everyone was here. Mike, Dan and Naela came in from California so I took advantage of the situation and took a big family picture. All 18 of us are in it. We did end up doing individual family pictures as well. Everyone finally left about 7:30. We were pooped. Jake was so tired. He actually fell asleep in my lap. It was awesome. He is not and has never been a snuggly kid like William. He slept long and hard that night. Here are some pictures. I have to split them into two posts as I am limited to the number of pics I can upload in one post.
