When I was putting Ben in bed Christmas Eve he was overly excited, but had a bit of a concern about Santa possibly coming in his room. I think the thought of someone (even if it is SANTA) coming in the house while he is sleeping is a little unnerving...can't say I blame him. :) I don't think I'll ever forget though the look on his face and sound in his voice when he came running in our room (at 5:30) Christmas morning telling me that Santa had come! I got up so he could show me the presents and stockings, but somehow did manage him to crawl back in bed with me until about 7:00 when Zach started to stir.
Digging into their stockings waiting for Dad and everyone to get up. Santa brought everyone new Bobcat stocking hats. As everyone was putting theirs on, Ben looked around and got sad...when I asked him what was wrong he said everyone got Bobcat hats and I got a reindeer... hmmm...I had to have him take a closer look and he was relieved to see he got a CHAMP hat...the king of Bobcats!
Ready set go... they both got light sabers!

We gave Ben a Leapster Explorer... he took right to it and apparently didn't need to wait around for us to show him how to use it. It amazes me how quickly kids master the electronics. It is a great little toy and about the only thing the keeps this kid sitting still for more than 5 minutes!
Look at these two...playing nicely...together! Thank you Batcave!
We loved having Jenny, Derrick, Grampa & Gramma come spend Christmas with us!
The boys also got cowboy hats from Gramma & Grampa Begger. My little cowpoke! We did get them wranglers and western shirts too, but boots & cowboy hats really go with anything.
Every cowboy has to have a horse. This will have to do until we get to the farm and can ride Grampa's horse!
Nick & Marc hottubbed with the boys. It was way too nice out for my idea of Christmas, but I guess you have to take advantage of what you're given!
