After coming home from Nonnie and Papaw's house on Christmas Eve, the boys changed into their Christmas PJs and picked out some of their cut-out sugar cookies for Santa.

We poured a small glass of milk (it's a wonder I even had milk since we never buy it any more.) And the boys carried it all into the living room to set out for Santa.

Unfortunately, as soon as we set down the cookies on the coffee table, Duke came up to eat them.

So we moved everything back in to the kitchen and set it on the island. Ethan wrote Santa a quick note to let him know where his goodies were and left it on the coffee table.

And Santa came! The boys each asked for a BB8 robot. Ethan also asked for the Battle of Hoth Star Wars Lego set and a Nick Wilde (from Zootopia) plush toy. Logan also asked for remote control tanks and a military helicopter.

I did not get one un-blurry photo of them coming into the room on Christmas morning. Mimi and Pop were there right before 7am so the boys could come down and see what Santa brought them.

It's funny to see what they picked up first. Logan went straight for the BB8 robot. More on him later - he's fun. But we had to set them both up to charge for a while and we didn't really get to play with them until later on Christmas Day.

Ethan, on the other hand, went straight for his stuffed animals! He was so thrilled to see Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Chip from Beauty and the Beast too. He did not specifically ask for those, but Santa brought them anyway.

They dug into their stockings too. Logan is not disappointed by this treat...he's actually just surprised that there are Kit Kat Santas!

Santa knows we like Mickey!

That is one giant Lego set. And he has been patiently waiting for Santa to bring it to him.

Logan loved his helicopter and tanks too. For some reason he is really into military stuff right now.

After the boys had explored all that Santa brought them, they started passing out the boxes under the tree.

The boys picked out presents for each other again this year.

Ethan got Logan an Army truck, which Logan thought was so cool. He said, "Thanks, Ethan!" when he opened it.

For some reason I missed getting a photo of what Logan picked out for Ethan...it was an Ewok stuffed animal that Ethan has had his eye on for a long time. He was so excited to see it!
And then came a couple of presents from mom and dad...the Hogwarts Express with Harry, Ron, and Hermione POP vinyl figures.
![photo DX0A3578_zpswy0mlzav.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/rdc98h/Main%20Blog%20Photos/Main%20Blog%20Photos%202/Main%20Blog%20Photos%202172/DX0A3578_zpswy0mlzav.jpg)
And Quiddich robes and goggles. They were totally surprised by both of these gifts and were really excited.

Ready to hop on their brooms and play Quiddich!

Next Casey and I opened our gifts from the boys and each other. Logan is laughing here because those are Star Wars underwear for daddy. He also got some socks and a Dumbledore POP vinyl figure from the boys. I got him a special razor handle and shaving cream from The Art of Shaving.

The boys got me two necklaces from Kendra Scott and Casey got me a Michael Kors purse. I love how they like to watch us open gifts too.
![photo DX0A3611_zpsagplkblp.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/rdc98h/Main%20Blog%20Photos/Main%20Blog%20Photos%202/Main%20Blog%20Photos%202172/DX0A3611_zpsagplkblp.jpg)
After we cleaned up the wrapping paper mess, the adults headed to the kitchen to put the final touches on our breakfast, and the boys played with the remote control tanks.
![photo DX0A3637_zpsedamj0te.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t181/rdc98h/Main%20Blog%20Photos/Main%20Blog%20Photos%202/Main%20Blog%20Photos%202172/DX0A3637_zpsedamj0te.jpg)
The tanks had surprisingly loud sound effects and I was wondering why Santa thought that would be okay. I guess he didn't know how loud they would be.

Before everyone showed up for breakfast, we took a quick family photo. I'm wearing those two necklaces from the boys! And I have no idea why, but I don't have a single photo of breakfast. I guess I was too busy enjoying our traditional fare: sausage balls, coffee cake, fruit, and an egg bake. Plus mimosas from Pop! It was a good morning...but our Christmas Day was not over yet!
