The morning started at 3AM. Michael and I heard little footsteps upstairs so we hurried off to bed. A few minutes later Mallory came to climb in bed with us. We let her in, but made her go back to sleep. Then around 7:30 I woke up, only to find Aunt Paige stirring about. We couldn't believe the kids were still asleep, so we woke them up!
The first thing Max saw was the candy trail Santa had left. He was so excited! He hurried into the kitchen to get a bowl so that he could gather up all the candy.
This is how we found the little masked man most of the day...eating candy!
We had a very "electronic" Christmas this year...with DS games...
cell phones...
more cell phones...
iPods...
more iPods...
action packed swords....
and Baba surprised Mama with a new camera!!!
Yes, all these gifts were fun to get, but the best gift to us all is having Max here. He is such a little blessing to our family!Have you ever seen a cuter masked man in all you life?
This is one of the only times I caught Max with out his Batman mask on...he LOVES it!
Max also got a new bike. Baba loves it because it looks like a dirt bike :)

Max riding his bike for the first time.
Baba got some play time in.
And Mama, too!
Uncle Eric and Aunt Jessie came for our Christmas feast.
We all had a blast playing Rock Band...we may see Aunt Jessie or Aunt Paige on the next American Idol ;)
Max went around all day saying "No take a nap today. Today is a special day...Santa... Ok Mama." But after several hours of slaying dragons and rescuing babies, he climbed up on Uncle Grant's lap and tuckered out.

Next Christmas stop...Grandma Linda's house.
Max-Batman yesterday, Robin today.... as he continues to slay dragons to protect his Mama.
Grandma Linda surprised the kids with a REAL popcorn machine! Can you tell how much they LOVE IT?
This has been one of the most memorable Christmases we have had. To see Christmas through Max's eyes was priceless. At different times throughout Christmas day, each one of the kids said this was the best Christmas they had ever had because of Max. That little boy has filled a spot in our hearts we didn't even know was empty. We have been so very blessed!
