Christmas 2012 (part 2)

The second half our our Christmas celebration was Santa coming, and Christmas Day at my parents, followed by Christmas evening at Grandma Bostow's in Prior Lake.  We got home late from Kelly and Dave's Christmas eve, put out cookies and milk for Santa and hurried to bed around 11:30.  I couldn't believe Leyton didn't fall asleep on the way home, and how long it took him to fall asleep once he was in bed!  I guess the Santa excitement was too much!  Here are some more photos from our Christmas celebrations.
 
Leyton busy arranging the presents under the tree:
 Santa came!  And he brought the mouse Gus from Cinderella he wanted, and even surprised him with his friend Jaq:
 Leyton loves playing Dr. so he was pretty excited about his new Dr. outfit.
 
 Cal was excited about his Spider man toothbrush, and everything else:
 
 
 Leyton showing off some of his Santa gifts:
 Santa brought Leyton the "big train" he wanted, and both boys were really excited to play with it.
 Then around 10:00am we headed to my parents for Christmas Day with my family.  We always do brunch on Christmas day (which is one of my favorite meals ever- amazing stuffed french toast) and exchange gifts for the kids' names we drew. 
Cal got a cool remote control fire truck from Grace and Lucy:
 Lauren and Ella got Leyton the hot wheels wall tracks he'd been wanting:
 Cal opening a cool car ramp from Grandma and Grandpa:
Leyton got the bat cave he's been wanting forever from Grandma and Grandpa:
 
Lauren and Leyton looking cute:
Lauren got this cool balance board from G&G and Leyton (and Eric) had fun trying it out:
Cal was still not feeling well, at all.  He spent the whole day not really playing but curled up on one of our laps.  Hopefully next Christmas he will be able to enjoy it all and not be sick.
 
Around 3:00 we headed to Grandma Bostow's where we celebrated with her and Grandpa, and even Aunt Sarah and Bryon via Skype!  It was great to see Sarah, and she got to watch the boys open their presents from her over the computer :)
 
Leyton got his very own guitar, just like Dads, from Grandma:
 
Cal got a jeep from Grandpa that they think is really cool because it has mud splatters on it :)
And Sarah sent Tractor stuff all the way from CO for both boys!  Thanks everyone for making it such a great Christmas.  We are very blessed to have such wonderful family, and the boys are busy and happy playing with all their new toys!
