Christmas 2013

I didn't get very good pictures of this day...It's turned into such a exhausting day--fun filled day--but exhausting. We are definitely going to simplify things a little next year...
 Kids loved the flashlights in their stockings and the CANDY.
 
 Jax and Rod got each other some little presents. Jax is wearing one of Rod's presents to him in the picture below! :)
Rod got this train from Santa 
 And Jax got his DREAM, a remote control monster truck.
 Here they are with both, having a blast on Christmas morning.
  Rod LOVED, and still loves, his "Dusty".
Grampa Judkins made my kids a monster truck free style thing with jumps. It's pretty cool. It see's a lot of action from these monster truck fanatics.:) 
 We went over to Grandma Gause's house after we did our Christmas, only to be showered with gifts yet again. Below are the sleds Aunt Brooke got the boys. They love them and, side note, Jax LOVES to go sledding. Another post for another day. 
 Grandma and Grandpa Gause were VERY generous.  They spoiled me and Justin as well as the kids. Jax loves this art kit. Side note, Jax and Rod have both started to LOVE to color with anything on  anything. I'm not used to having them both sit quietly and just color. Doing one thing for more than 10 minutes. It's great! And their fine motor skills are really coming along. Jax is really so impressive. 
 We then went to my moms to do our gift exchange at her house, MORE presents. Such generous family. It was REALLY fun, but you could tell the kids were a little strung out.
 It was quite the jam packed day of amazing fun. We just love seeing our families at Christmas time. I'm so grateful that both of our families are in Provo, that way we can see both every year--we don't have to chose!:)  We love family!!
