Christmas with the Allens

Papa, Lenora, Chris, and Kelly all came down Friday- Noah’s birthday; we had decided to treat Saturday like Christmas morning.  The boys already knew the plan, so they were up early and ready to open presents.  They were able to wake up Papa and though he tried to talk them into waking up Dad or Uncle Chris they refrained.  We have taught them well.  They were SO excited, just like it was Christmas!  They were still excited when they got a box of Christmas lights!!!  Makaela I guess had figured out unwrapping and was able to unwrap most of hers without help.  She really got into it and wanted to “help” everyone else out.  Second Christmas was very enjoyable!!!

Ready to open presents.  Lenora admires our wrapping job on her present.  We ran out of paper on that one present! 

Noah so excited- falls over.  Makaela doesn’t need help anymore! 

Watch out people!


After presents were opened.  Caleb got Uncle Chris and Papa to help set up his Hot Wheel track that goes on the wall.  Even Makaela thinks it’s cool to watch the cars go flying down the track.

After lunch we headed outside.  The boys of course played football. 

Big brothers and little brothers- No matter the age, nothing changes!!!


While outside we put up the trampoline from my parents.  The boys were really excited to have it up.

Eli playing by himself and made faces by leaning on the net!

It was a wonderful Christmas!
