This is usually where we find Russell. He got an IPOD for Christmas and he was busy putting stuff on it most of the day.

I am afraid the older the boys get the more expensive things they ask for. This is Brock's haul. He got an Ipod and some other things. I am sure they won't even remember what they got by this time next year.

Brendan got a Nintendo DS. The problem with him being the youungest is he thinks he needs the things that his brothers have. He could barely stop playing long enough for me to take the picture

This is the only picture where I kind of got all three of the boys. They actually slept in until 7:00. They had to wake up Brendan. He told me before he went to sleep that I should be prepared because he was going to get up very early. I was happy he didn't follow through on that.

I love the fact that we get ready and excited about Christmas for months and then it is all over in about 15 minutes.

Russell was trying to take his time opening presents so it wouldn't end too fast.

Russell and Brock got Brendan this big Nerf gun. Brendan was wanting to open it from the moment it went under the tree. He spent hours guessing what it could be. I think he was surprised....we (as in me) forgot to notice that it took batteries. Who would ever think a NERF product would take batteries?

Brendan was happy about everything he opened. He would say thank you to whoever and move on at lightning speed.

Brock enjoying the moment he saw the 120g Ipod. How about those curls. I think he takes after me a little.

Russell was surprised that he actually got an Ipod. They wanted a dog, but Ipods are so much easier to take care of.
