Christmas is such a fun time for the boys. It's all the things before Christmas actually comes, like decorating the cookies, picking out and decorating the Christmas trees. Decorating the house making snow flakes out of paper. They boys love it all! However, the best part is going and spending time with our family, of course and opening presents too. I will say this year both of the boys were really into the fact that it was Jesus's birthday. They wanted to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and honestly I have to admit it melted my heart a little. We ate dinner at Nana's and Papa's with the whole family. The boys had a great time playing with Cooper and Alaina. It is getting to be quite the mayhem of four kids ripping into presents this year. I can only imagine what it's going to be like when Bercan and Brooks start getting into it. It was a great night of fun with family!
This is what a Christmas Eve night with the Larson cousins will do to you. Seriously, we only live 15 minutes from Nana's but Vaughn was able to pass out so much that he was bent in half.
This was the best! We had propped Bercan in the corner of the couch AWAKE and amidst the noise of 4 other kids ripping through presents he decided that we were just too boring and fell asleep. Once we noticed that he had fallen asleep we of course had to take pictures of it. I kind of joked that he was taking Papa Bernie's place as he usually he's the one who nods off during all the commotion as well.
One of Torin's favorite presents was a White Bear Lake hooded sweatshirt. This is the school district that we live in and Torin loves being a "Bear". His other favorites were a pair of heely's and his nintendo DS.

Torin of course wanted to hold Bercan.
The "middles". Pretty cute, aren't they! Vaughn's favorite presents were Bahkagons, his white bear lake sweatshirt, his treasure chest and the Jungle Book. I have to post about this one. One of our Friday babysitters had bought The Jungle Book VHS movie for Vaughn. Well it was not a cartoon, it was a real movie that was not so appropriate for Vaughn. After having nightmares about the movie, it was hidden and had been hidden for almost a year. When we took the boys to Santa in Door County and Vaughn asked Santa for the Jungle Book. It was the last thing that we thought he would ask for since it had been so long. We did have the movie and we could tell that Vaughn really wanted it. So Bjorn and I decided to wrap it up for Santa. Vaughn was SO excited about getting the movie that he continued to sleep with the movie for the next week along with asking to watch it every other second of the day. Vaughn was a really cheap boy for us this year. I guess he is that typical middle child of being easy to please :)
