not this cute anymore!Favorite time to wake up on Christmas morning: 8:30 am. Not so bad when the kids went to bed WAY before their bed time. Ben was asking to go to sleep on Christmas Eve at 3 pm... talk about being excited!
Favorite Christmas breakfast: Homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate! and then lots of candy from our stockings. We are sugared OUT!
Favorite toy in Stocking: Whoopee cushion. No explanation necessary.
Favorite Christmas song played throughout the morning: The Chipmunks had the spotlight this year.
Favorite thing to wear ALL DAY: New pj's of course. Zack has a matching pair like Ben and Luke's, but he insisted on wearing his other Christmas jammies. I regret it already... the pictures would have been so much cuter!
Favorite things said on Christmas morning: I will give you all the candy in my stocking if you fight me! (apparently Ben has to bribe his little brothers...)
Zack's favorite present: Hulk hands... electronic ones that talk (or shall we say THREATEN) if you touch them. And This is his most recent "mean face"---
Luke's favorite present: A Star Wars video game. No, we don't have a Wii. We still do old-school-plug-into-your-TV games. I know, our kids are so underprivileged. We did also get a REAL game table... fooze ball/air hockey/pool table. The billiard table was made for midgits (just our kids' size!)
Ben's favorite present: Either his Star Wars Monopoloy game, his Grandeous coloring book or the 20 other Star Wars thing opened. Who can keep track. Last year we had a Transformers Christmas, this year, we took on another theme. Not pictured: Star wars shirts, underwear, toothbrushes, Star Wars Guess Who, flash cards, etc. etc. HOW DID SANTA KNOW THEY ARE SO OBSESSED???
Aaron's favorite present: Either the three bottles of Gatorade his three boys gave him or the remote control Jeep his wife gave him. By the look on his face, I think he likes the Gatorade better.
Janet's favorite present: Hands down, without a doubt, it would be the HOMEMADE EARRINGS Ben and Luke made for me. It was a complete surprise to everyone. They were neatly wrapped in paper towels. Yes, I actually put dirty PAPERCLIPS through my ears. And I have never been so proud. (and if you can't tell, the earrings are a picture of me.. yellow face and blue hair...) These puppies will be in my jewelry box FOREVER.
Favorite Christmas so far: 2008.

Oh good, I'm not the only one blogging on Christmas night! I knew I could count on you Janet!
love the earings. Looks like you guys had a great Christmas.
Those are So CutE! Brings me way way way back to the days in elementary school when we used paper clips to make braces for our teeth~~~and we all wanted braces! (Those were the good 'ole days!)
And your boys look super cute! And don't be fooled, the PJ contrast totally works!
:D
No worries, Janet!
But it is nice to hear from you. As you can tell, I really enjoy everything you write about. And thanks for the compliment ~ but you do need to know that I don't post any pictures where my gray hair and wrinkles show up. So I have everyone fooled!
See you later (in blog-land!)
