On 12-19-10 we had our first Christmas celebration with my family. Shelley and family and mom came over for some fun and food. We really had a great time. The twins have got this present thing really figured out. They like to open them. They sometimes like to open them more than what is in them. I think they are still thrown off by the boxes and don't realize what is really in the box. Or they do and want it opened right away. It was relaxing and good paced day.
While we cooked the meal, the kids played with their cousins Cade and Austin. The two large boxes that we had guarding the tree became places to hide and play in. They had a really good time, there was much laughter!

Their maw-maw got them these amazing little chairs for Christmas. They have their names on them. Carter really likes to sit in his and Calla likes to point to all the letters and have us name them for her. She said her name for the first time. Cedar, well he will like it later in his life. His was moved to his room for now. He likes to climb on it, but the fall is not so pleasant. 
And the fighting begins over the new toys. Calla got a drum and they all want the drum sticks! Cedar really likes them for some reason, easy to hold onto I guess. I can only imagine that this will not be the last time that these boys fight over something. Carter goes through stages where he is super sweet to Cedar and then at times he is kind of mean. Same with Calla, sometimes it seems like he is out to get her. She gives such a dramatic response that he just keeps coming back for more.

The drum that everyone loves. Now that some time has gone by they like to open it up and stuff other toys inside it to carry around. Its funny the things they decide to stuff in there.
Carter helping to hand out gifts. Had to use his chin so that he didn't let go of Cedar's new toy. I am pretty sure that Cedar has had very minimal time with his new toy. Carter really liked it.
Carter ripping into those gifts. It was so fun to watch their faces.
