Christmas Eve Gift Banaza!!

Well we ended up opening gifts last night on Christmas Eve... Noah got sick right before dinner and obviously the flu caught him too... wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... so we debated on opening gifts Christmas morning, or Christmas Eve... but we figured we'd open until Noah was worn out, and if that was all of them, that was fine, because we thought that he'd probably be sicker this morning then he was last night... we were right of course... anyway - so here are the pictures of gifts being opened.... PLEASE do not mind so much our apperances.. lol.. realize we have been battling the flu since Friday and that includes me being sick, and taking care of all the kids being sick too... And btw - I got almost NO sleep last night and was just crazy tired to the point where I was sick to my stomach again (cuz I get like that when I'm tired) ... poor Noah was up until 2am, and then Nathan was up at 3:30am and 5:30am...

Anyway - ON WITH THE PICTURES...

Nathan eyeing up Mommy... "what are we doing this for again?" LOL

Noah managing to muddle his way through gifts... he was SO excited to get the Bumble Bee Transformer... can you tell how excited he was!?!?
Calahan and one of the books he got - he thought it was cool cuz it was Dragons - and I thought it was a really nice picture of him...
The poor kid was actually throwing up between gifts - we knew he was getting worse fast :( So we sorta rushed through gifts...
Cal got an MP4 Player from my Step-Mom & my Dad :)

And the Operation Game... this is the new one that has different settings for skill level and the heart rate - etc...
Noah had actually picked this up in the store one day and wanted it so bad.. LOL... I told him he couldn't get it but he might get it from Santa and then slipped it in the cart.. LOL.. so he got it after all and was happy :)
Daddy Dennis sittin in the background there.... Calahan opening Pirates I think, and Noah loving on his BumbleBee
Nathan's turn!!!

Mommy got a Family Frame from Calahan (The Blessing of Family) a Fairy from Dennis, and a Frog Tart Warmer from Nathan...

Nathan's big haul!!
Noah before he went to bed... he's got his Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime sitting there... he got a Power Ranger overnight bag... he got a couple Power Ranger things, a couple books, 2 new V-Smile Games (Diego & Cars) ... and just some little stuff...
Calahan got an electronic Dart Board... some books... the MP4 Player... the Operation Game.. a football.. some Vikings Stuff... the new Spyro Game... and some other fun stuff...

Mommy got what you saw :)

Daddy got a big Stand Mixer, some measuring cups & spoons, a wolf puzzle, a blanket... a griddle... and some other fun stuff ... (I tend to go on THEMES for gifts, and I think he just got bored with kitchen stuff by the end of it all - ::sigh::)

Oh and as a family - we got Electronic Monopoly ... the new Harry Potter, the new Pirates...
