On Friday, we went to Benton to celebrate an early Christmas with Grammy and Grandpa (Curt's parents). It was a quick, one-night visit because of Curt's call schedule, but we had a great time. Aunt Mariah and Uncle Jason were not home for the holidays yet, but we hope to see them in the next couple weeks.
Here is Cole enjoying his first of Grammy's Christmas sugar cookies. Yum!
Shortly after finishing the first cookie, he enjoyed a second cookie. Caden was much too busy asking about the presents under the tree to eat cookies.
Grammy and Grandpa let the boys open up one present on Friday night. They added more Star Wars characters to their growing collection.
On Saturday morning, we all enjoyed opening presents--so many wonderful gifts! We are very thankful! When it comes to opening presents, Caden and Cole are very different. Caden dashes from one present to the next, while Cole likes to check out each gift for a bit.

Here are the boys opening the Hot Wheels volcano set from Aunt Mariah. Caden is thrilled! He played with it most of the evening. The toy combines cars with competition--perfect for Caden.
If you look closely, you can see how excited Caden is to get a Star Wars Tie Fighter. It is definitely going to be a Star Wars Christmas. Their new Star Wars sheets (almost identical to their daddy's childhood sheets) are in the dryer now, so they will be ready for tomorrow night.
Here is Cole playing with some of his new Star Wars characters. He couldn't be happier. At 2 1/2 years, he knows more Star Wars characters than his mommy will ever know. She is learning though.
Grammy, Grandpa, and the boys

Its nice when you can get a theme going. What will you do when they have everything Star Wars?! Looks like they had so much fun. A perfect little boy Christmas :-)
Star Wars rocks!!!! Looks like a fun time was had by all. We too use the Santa's helper approach in an attempt to slow thing down. Can't wait to see you guys next week! Merry Christmas!
