Christmas Eve

WARNING: This post contains a ridiculous amount of photos :)
So I am finally getting around to posting our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day photos. I probably should have put them in a slideshow format instead of including so many in one post, but I'm determined to get caught up on our blog and this was the quickest way to add photos!
Sometime through the years our family went from each of us selecting one gift to open on Christmas Eve to everyone opening everything on Christmas Eve. So, tonight the boys were allowed to open all of their gifts. Ryan napped briefly on Dan's lap before the festivities of gift-opening began.

Ryan enjoyed playing with his Taggie football while he waited for us to pass out the presents to everyone.
A ride on Daddy's shoulders is always fun!

One of the first gifts that Ethan opened was for our Christmas tree at home...A Thomas the Train ornament with Thomas, James, and Percy
