And Grandaddy stood by ready to help get them all out of the box.
(who packages toys anyway, seriously, it takes a college degree to open them!)

Watching grown-ups open is not that much fun, so off they went  to peek into their stockings...
It was great, they sat and played for the longest time.

tis the season for letting your almost 2 year old eats sweets, right?

Later that night, before we drove back to our house, 
the boys put their Christmas pj's on...

and they took a picture with Blake's sweet family (minus Bryson).
