Santa Showed!

And boy did he......there were two extremely lucky and happy kids at our house on Christmas morning.......So the month long preparation to deliver the perfect holiday climaxed with a 30 second unwrapping spree, lots of squeals and yells, and mom thinking to herself.....no...no not so fast....savor it......but what kid understands savor it....take it all in.....but the smiles on their face and the excitement to tear into every box and spread every piece of plastic all over the floor in a frenzy to play with everything makes it all worth it.....so since it went so fast, as it always does I did my best to click the camera incessantly and capture every sweet moment that I can so I can Savor it, again and again........ Here is how it went.......

Christmas Eve Brooke sprinkled out the reindeer food......

The kids said farewell to Little Nicky.....

Brooke holding up her sleepy brother so he doesn't miss out on the events....

Laying out some Grub for Santa and Brady trying very hard to keep his eyes open...

So you would have thought bedtime would have been a breeze with the sleepy induced Brady from the last two pictures......but then reality set in on what was to come in the morning and then the following ensued.

Going B-A-N-A-N-A-S

So our little night owl and sleeper inner.....decided to rise at 5:50am that morning.....poor thing.....you see we installed the rule that I grew up with: no one goes downstairs until everyone is up.......she waited......she waited......she paced.....she flipped ......she flopped in bed with us.....she tried to make noise by going to the bathroom a lot......but still no sign of her brother.....Finally we gave in at 7:05 and said Okay go wake your brother......

Finally she sensed it getting closer!

7:14 when mom and dad finally had their wits about them we headed down......

again waiting for mom and dad to shake a tail......

The moment they have been anticipating all year.....

Who gets that excited over socks? One Brooke Munson.

Brady sifting though his stocking.....

Halloween? Nope not for one Brady Munson.....costumes are his favorite.....and a wardrobe staple meet Wolverine. Other crowd favorites were The Kinect, a suitcase for Brooke, Orbeez,Trio Batman, Buzz jet pack...........

Peace out.......

Here's some videos of an excited Brady....

The repeatedly asked for Trio Batman!



We spent Christmas eve with Poppa and Penny and got even more goodies...
Brady loved all the tools and pretends to be in Poppas workshop all the time....

I can only imagine every piece of clothing is going to be full of bling and bedazzled!!
Hanging with Poppa..

Christmas day we headed out to see Grandma and Greg and spend the day at the beach!

Now that is one big stocking.

Brady couldn't get enough of the plastic play items.....

he built a fort of them.....scooby is being introduced to dragons and batman and firemen.....

We got to take a walk on the beach, throw ice, spin on the ice, eat snow and get some fresh air!

Cuddling with Grandma

and Uncle Greg.... It went faster than I hoped, but it was worth every ounce of work involved.
