Christmas Day finally arrived, though I bet Lincoln thought it would never get here! He woke up a little confused because both Beau and Daddy were up, and usually it's just Mommy and Lincoln for a while. First we checked to see if Santa had eaten his cookie and milk, and Lincoln was a little disappointed. Santa left a few crumbs, but Lincoln said Santa just broke the cookie. (Santa, please remember next year to eat ALL of the cookie!!) We checked the stockings and found bananas (in both), books (in both), M&Ms and a candy cane (Lincoln) and Puffs (Beau). Score! Santa left some pretty cool gifts for the boys, and they were very excited to check everything out. Santa even left an extra gift for Lincoln and Beau under the playroom tree . . .
Kevin and Linc had fun trying out the new remote control race car track.
Beau got busy with his barn set.
Before long, Lincoln needed to inspect Beau's gift too! 
So far Lincoln's favorite gift is the Elmo umbrella. Why do we spend so much money on expensive gifts when a $6 umbrella is the greatest thing ever?!?! He's carried it everywhere!
Daddy and Linc immediately dove into the Lincoln Logs . . . always a favorite at our house. Just minutes later, Beau demolished the whole thing! Sigh!
Minnie, Bubbles and Ally drove in from Arkansas after lunch, and Nana and Pops came over to join us all for Christmas dinner. It was super yummy! Kevin loves to take a picture of our food!
Minnie and Bubbles brought the coolest wagon for the boys. We gave test drives all around the house tonight. I can't wait until we can head outside with it! (And yes, it comes with seat belts because daredevil Beau would dive right out!)
Beau had so much fun nosing around in everyone's presents. He likes the paper, and the gifts, and spitting up on the gifts! Yikes! Mostly he likes being right in the middle of things!
Lincoln was in heaven with all the unwrapping. I kept trying to get him to slow down so we could write down who gave him what! He wanted to play with each gift right away. Ally went overboard with the gifts, and the boys loved them all!
Beau decided to take his Mickey Mouse Choo-Choo for a walk, and he was walking everywhere. He did so good and bulldozed anything in his way. I was a little nervous to just let him go and followed close behind. He didn't have a care in the world and was probably thinking "Freedom! I can walk without Mommy!" Am I ready for this?????
What a wonderful Christmas! Healthy kids, safe travels for all, yummy food, and so much love - we are so blessed. I know life is totally crazy with two little ones, but it is also so much fun. Lincoln and Beau made our holiday season so exciting this year. Lincoln hit the toy jackpot, as he is as interested in his toys as he is Beau's. Luckily Beau is still a little too young to care. It has truly been a Merry Christmas, and as Lincoln says, "Thank you my Jesus."
