Devin got the Batcave he's been begging for...It's just like Cal's Batcave... is all he could say. |
Devin checking out Lexi's present. |
It looked like a wrapping paper tornado went through our house! |
Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Sandy came over for brunch and presents later in the morning. We enjoyed an egg casserole, cheesy grits and of course mimosas (to help with the pain of the sore throat of course!). We had a great breakfast but what happened after was even better...Lets just say Grandma & Grandpa O'Dean's presents were a huge hit in our house...and still are! It's even louder in our house now.
She won't even let Teddy go when performing on the piano!
Who's Billy Joel anyway?!
When you are tired from opening presents and celebrating all morning; how do you like to unwind? Lexi prefers to have her binky, grab Teddy and well....find an empty box!
After cleaning up the house, we got ready for nap time. All four of us took three hour naps!! We all needed it; especially mommy and daddy. We all woke up refreshed, re-energized and ready for round 2 of Christmas with the Schaps Family.
Uncle Nate and soon-to-be Aunt Cristina hosted Christmas dinner at their condo this year. They did an Italian themed menu and it was delicious! Cristina's dad and step mom joined us and made one of the best homemade lasagnas I've ever had. It was a very nice dinner and great company!
Lexi all dolled up!
Devin practicing for his GQ shoot!

More Thomas and Friends accessories for his new train table.
Devin's first lunchbox; thank you Uncle Nate & Aunt Cristina! Can't believe he'll use it soon..sniff sniff. |
Lexi loved her new sit and spin! She figured it out in seconds. |
Uncle Nate's new Lebron jersey; Go Heat!
More socks for daddy! |
Uncle Nate is known to give gifts that are over the top. He came through again this Christmas for Devin. He found Devin a remote control helicopter that is out of this world! It actually flies really high in the sky and still works great after crashing to the ground at full speed, being stuck in various trees and the run in with the neighbor's roof the other day! It is Devin's all time favorite toy right now. He thinks it is the coolest thing and so do we!
Uncle Nate & Devin looking for the perfect spot to try out the new helicopter. |
Getting ready to fly... |
Can you spot the helicopter right above the parked car? It's so neat! It was hard to take pictures of the helicopter at night. Here are a couple from the day time sky! |
As you can see the kids had a fabulous Christmas and were spoiled rotten! They have been behaving so well since Christmas and have fun playing with all of their new toys. I took down Christmas decorations this weekend and Devin started wining and telling me to stop that. I told him Christmas was over and the look I got in return was priceless. I think I broke his heart. Then I reminded him that we will be celebrating Christmas again next year and he smiled and said Halloween too!! So I think he quickly forgave me. :)
I've got lots to post...our Hanukkah party and my Birthday/New Years gathering...I'll try to get pictures up quickly. Happy New Year!
Great shots!! I didn't even have to be there and I got to spend Christmas with you. Probably the very rare time MJ and I aren't there. HA! Merry Christmas indeed Schaps Gang!!
