Well, after going through over 100 pictures (just from Christmas morning, we took over 200 pictures Christmas eve & Christmas morning!!!!), I finally picked out the best ones from Christmas morning.  Here goes…

The boys stuff on Christmas morning.

Anson is waiting to open his presents.

Austin opening his loot!  He got a lot of stuff!!!

Anson is getting bored waiting on everyone else to open their presents.  It will be your turn soon, buddy!!!

Austin finished opening all his stuff.  See, he got a lot of stuff!!!

Daddy helped Aidan open his stuff.  He really enjoyed the whole “opening process.”

The two best pictures of the little ones in their matching Christmas PJ’s.  We took several pictures and these are the best ones.

Merry Christmas from the Gonzalez Family!!!

In the afternoon on Christmas eve, Grandpa & Linda came over and brought presents for everyone.  Here are some highlights from their visit.

Austin & Aidan with their presents – ready to dig in!

Opening the presents.  They both got a lot of nice stuff!!

He loved those maracas!!!

Here is a picture of Grandpa & Aidan from Aidan’s 1st Christmas.  I also have a picture of Grandpa & Austin (when Austin was about 2 months old) but I couldn’t afford digital then so you will just have to use your imagination.  Well, as you can see, both Grandpa & Aidan look so happy with GREAT smiles on their faces.  So, I thought it would be a great idea to try to get a picture of Grandpa with Anson so I could display them all together (right now, I have the pictures with Austin & Aidan on a table in my dining room).  So we gave it a try …

First attempt – Anson just wanted to check out Grandpa!

Second attempt (or somewhere around the middle since I couldn’t post all of them) – Anson put his hand in his mouth so you cannot see what little smile he gave us.

Final attempt – we gave up on getting a GREAT smile out of Anson so this picture will have to do.  It is still such a cute picture and is exactly what I wanted.  I am sure Grandpa will like it too (since he has the other pictures with the 2 bigger boys on his fridge)!

After a long day of presents, family and lots of fun, Aidan was just too tired!  He fell asleep in the living room floor while I was cooking and Daddy had run to the store for me.  Pitiful, huh???

Here are some of the pictures we took while Grandma was here on Christmas eve.

Such a cutie!  Anson is playing with his Tippin’ Tiger that he got while at Angie’s house the day before.

Aidan is tuned in to Blues Clues.

Anson is getting much better at sitting up.

The boys opening thier presents.

Grandma & Anson – great picture!

Grandma with all three boys – too bad we couldn’t get all of them to look at the camera!

We celebrated Christmas with Angie, Mark, Matt & Elizabeth today.

On our way….

Opening presents!

Anson opening his 1st present – EVER! And boy did he love it!!!!

Anson playing with his toy!  He had so much fun with it – even without it opened!!

Elizabeth and her doll stroller we bought her.  It is a twin carriage – and she loved pushing all her “babies” around the house in it!!!

An improptu photo shoot!

This morning, Ricky had gone in the little boys’ bedroom to play and found that Anson fit perfectly in Aidan’s Spiderman chair.  So, he brought it out into the living room and I took some pictures of the boys.

Anson in the Spiderman chair.  Isn’t he just too cute??  He fits perfectly in that chair!

Anson with Daddy – such a sweet picture!!!

All four of my boys – each one very dear to me in their own special way!!!!

Austin & Anson – sweet faces!!!

Aidan likes to fall back in his Elmo chair.  Too funny!!!!
