Christmas Day 2011

We had a great Christmas! The boys are still at ages where they get too excited to sleep. They went to bed early, but were up super late laughing and talking. We thought Santa would never be able to get here.
Dallin is a little too old for Santa, so we had to fill in for the "Big Guy" this year. Dallin has been needing a new saxophone and his music teacher came upon a really good deal on a nice one. We bought it back in October and told Dallin that he was "borrowing" it from his teacher. Dallin kept commenting on how nice the saxophone was and how he wished he could get a new one of his own. It was SO hard to keep this secret from him, but it was worth it Christmas morning when he learned that this saxophone was now officially his.
Jayden has become quite the Denver Broncos fan and got a lot of Broncos stuff. He is at that difficult age where he's too old for toys but not quite old enough for the big stuff. This was just perfect. He loved every single thing he got just because it had the Broncos' logo on it. We could have wrapped up a Bronco's toothbrush and he would have loved it.
Cameron has been a great big brother to Landon and has kept the magic of Christmas alive for him. Cameron still enjoys toys, so Santa hooked him up with a BIG Nerf gun (not pictured).
Landon has been on the verge of not believing in Santa, but I think we did all we could do to keep him a believer. He's the youngest so it's only a matter of time before he stops believing. I think keeping Landon a believer was more for me than anything else. I don't want to have the boys grow up. Christmas just won't be the same. I was too caught up in watching the boys open presents that I didn't get very many pictures. Santa brought Landon a BIG Hot Wheels track, which has entertained all the brothers. Who says they're too old for toys?
Nu Skin was generous, as usual, with their Christmas gifts. This year ONE of their gifts was a Kindle Fire. The boys were quite stoked about it, not to mention Leon.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

I love that last picture of Jayden all in his Denver Bronco gear!
Sounds like a perfect Christmas!
