Christmas Morning at the Wood House

This is what Christmas morning at the Wood house looked like this year...

It was perfect! We did not go overboard with presents this year, which felt really good. We really want to bring the boys up to know the true meaning of Christmas, not just Santa Clause and presents. 

The packages wrapped in brown craft paper are the ones we gave the boys. Oh yeah, and the Angry Birds! Those darn birds are so cute and the boys were happy to see them when they got out of bed. If you happen to be one of the few who do not know what an angry bird is, see here. It's a fun game. Not rocket science but fun all the same.

The other gifts are from various family members. The ones that are not wrapped are from Santa, of course!

Santa also brought a really cool Hot Wheels race track. It is super long and super cool. See the action shot!!

Now the holidays are over and the new year is underway. We started the new year with a house full of sickies and we continue to be that way. All four of us. This is the first time we have all four been sick together. Hubby and I are exhausted. The boys are up half the night coughing. We spent $200 at the pharmacy today between prescriptions and over the counter meds. Surely that will get us on the mend soon. Not exactly how I thought 2012 would start but I am still feeling blessed by what I have and I know this year holds many exciting things in store. I am sure we won't be coughing and wiping snot for the whole of it, right? Right.
