We are so blessed and had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends again this year. Santa was good to us all and the boys had a great time opening their gifts. Hatcher got into handing out presents, we sorted first and then opened. Right away Hatcher got the hang of ripping and tearing only stopping shortly to enjoy each gift saying, "that is wonderful, that is cute, that is nice of them, or wow, that is cool!"It was a bit overwhelming for Aidan Christmas morning and he just gave up half way through...so we took an intermission and opened some later in the day. Actually, we decided that Aidan's hesitation was a sign and put some of the wrapped presents for both boys away for birthdays and special occasions later on this coming year. After naptime - of which the boys and Derek indulged - we headed to Grandma and Tom's for our gift exchange and Christmas dinner. It was a wonderful time and the boys had so much fun hanging out with the Ruf kids...Tom's nieces and nephews. As usual, there are just too many pictures...so enjoy the montage! We hope you have a safe and happy New Year! We we love to see everyone in 2009.
