We thought the kids would wake up at the usual time around 6:30 or so and so we planed on opening presents then. Go figure the boys decide to sleep in when we have a lot to do this morning if we want to make it to church we needed to get moving. So we ending up waking up the boys. Liam got up fine, Eli however said he wanted to go back to bed. After a few minutes of rubbing his back he decided it was ok to get up. We started with the stocking which the boys enjoyed but the true excitement was went they started unwrapping presents. Liam would start shaking at though he was about to burst and Eli just couldn't hold still he just was so excited. We tried lots of time to catch their excitement on video, but never really caught it 100%. Liam's main present for Santa was a bike and Eli got a Captain America shield and mask. They both were super happy! The Gilmore's were there too and Chase just had his surgery so he was a little drugged up and really funny to watch. Lee and Austin came too however Lee was sick and was even more hilarious then Chase. While I was in the shower I guess Lee started yelling, "HELP ME!" Since my mom didn't go back there Jacob went and checked on him and basically Lee didn't feel good and misery enjoys company (and in Lee's case dramatics). Also later as we were leaving the kids were riding their new toys out front went all the sudden we heard them start yelling. I guess Lee also threw up in our front yard! Thanks for the "gift" Lee.
After breakfast we got dressed and quickly headed to the Ash's to join them for church. Cecil was speaking and the twins were going to church for the first time. Cecil did and excellent job (and he even prepared it the night before) Obviously he has wonderful talents.After church we quickly went to Tressa for lunch and our white elephant gift exchange. I was in charge of veggies so I cooked them at Linda's on a lower temp while we were at church. When we got home I quickly notice that my oven wasn't on and that I had turned on Linda's oven! (Linda has two ovens) Oops! I quickly turned up the temp and the veggies got done enough. We had fun at Tressa's and Eli played with his cousins outside like the whole time. They had so much fun I think they would have stayed there if they could have. After a fun filled afternoon and Tressa we thought out day was complete but we came home to see that my family was gearing up for evening food and fun. As you can see it was a jam packed day, but a wonderful day.
