Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas friends! We hope you're all having as lovely a day as we are. So far it's gone like this...Wake up, presents, homemade scones and hot chocolate, Christmas music (mostly the Jackson 5, Temptations, and Newman Cates' Christmas Compilation (You've outdone yourself this year Newman)), playing playing playing, lunch, the Grinch and Charlie Brown's Christmas, naps. Not too shabby.
We began what I think will be a Christmas Eve tradition last night. The boys got to open a gift - new jammies and slippers. Amos is a vision in Christmassy green.
Eli's jammies have Lightening McQueen and Mater, two characters from the movie Cars, with which he is currently obsessed. Eli's goodies from Santa were a basketball hoop, some Cars paraphernalia, and a cooking set. When he walked out of his room this morning he went straight to the hoop and dunked without saying a word. Then he continued to make shots perpetually until his nap.

Practicing for his future team photoshoot.

Luckily, just after we realized his new jammies were giving him a little rash (should've washed them before giving them to him), he opened his present from Moo (Eric's grandmother). She made him a sweet night shirt with racecars on it and a matching quilt! Wardrobe change...
I think night shirts should be the new NBA uniform.
Amos enjoyed a bear from Moo.
It gave him kisses.
He tried to eat his toys from Grandma and Grandpa Decker. Yum!
Grandma and Grandpa Decker also gave Eli an awesome "Ucycling Tuck." All his other toys have been "ucycled' repeatedly.
Santa gave Amos this onsie. Apparently he's a fan of old school rap. Who isn't?
Merry Christmas!
