The sound of ripping paper tore through the house accompanied by screams of joy.

The gifts piled up like beautifully wrapped mountains. Higher and higher as Christmas came closer.

Hunter and Jameson could not wait to open their one gift Christmas Eve night.

Little hands tapped, poked and patted gift after gift. Finding the perfect one.

Jameson had his eyes on a large package wrapped in Santa paper. The box was so big that his little limbs could not budge it an inch.

Hunter had his sights set on a fairly large box also. Hoping for a  Halo set he put it on his lap.

New jammies on. Tradition. Cozy. Ready.

The sound of ripping paper tore through the house accompanied by screams of joy.

Jameson unwrapped his gift to reveal a large imaginex castle.  “Mommy, Look what Grandma Fuss got for me! It is the castle I always wanted!” His eyes large and his jumping had us all laughing along with him.

Hunter had his gift torn open long before his little brother. Hunter has had a lot more practice. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” was his response to the very Large Halo Lego set. I could not help but laugh at him. I swore there would be no Halo this Christmas. But, Mommy gave in, to gain a smile from her sweet boy.

Santa soon on his way. Goodnight my sweet little boys!
