    My little guys had a BLAST! [​IMG]

    Sean got held by every member of my extended family for 2 days straight, it was a dream come true for him, he LOVES to cuddle. He got a little bear with paws he can chew on, though he prefers the ears. [​IMG]

    James got a bunch of loud toys like electronic clinking keys and a baby cell phone. He has them all to himself because Sean is scared of loud noises. [​IMG]

    As a pair they got some toys for their car carriers that I can switch back and forth so they don't get bored, and some cute outfits. [​IMG]

    The funniest thing this weekend is that Sean was afraid of his Grandpa Wes. (Grandpa Wes is a bit deaf so he talks really loud. [​IMG])

    So, how was your little ones first Christmas?

    Our first Chritmas as a family was really nice! Christmas Eve was hard for me because I could not be with my family for the first time in 35 years but Christmas morning I brought the babies into bed with us and we all slept in a little. We also got some great pics of the babies with their gifts and in their Christmas outfits. I know every Christmas from here on out will be so special now that we have our own family.

    It was great! The girls all got a lot of toys and everyone managed to have a great time. It was busy as always. By the end of x-mas eve and Christmas the babies had had enough. They were a little crabby.

    We had a great Christmas! The boys are completely off their schedules right now, but hey who cares! Christmas only comes once a year! John made out like a bandit as usual. He even got a battery operated train from my mom this year (can you say spoiled????), and tons of great CARS stuff he wanted. Kevin and Patrick were pretty good the last three days even though they hardly had any naps and were up a lot at night. Kevin still does not have his teeth (I was wishing for the two front teeth for him for Christmas LOL), and they both are sitting pretty good now, which is great since they will be 6 months on Friday!

    I hope everyone else had a great holiday. Here are Kevin, John and Patrick together on Christmas morning.

    Our boys had a blast. They loved their toys. Unfortunately, they also got their first cold on Christmas Eve. They were still surprisingly happy babies even though they had snotty noses and no sleep.

    well, i did dinner at my house x-mas eve for the first time (hoping to start a tradition). it was only 5 people so it wasn't too bad. unfortunately, my dad couldn't get here with 2 of our guests until about 7:30 and by the time we ate the girls were asleep. sadly, one of my girls also ended up sick that night and woke up several times crying cause she was all stuffed up and couldn't breath. later that night she puked like i've never seen so it was pretty scary but she is ok now.

    x-mas day was very nice. just me, dh, and the girls for the most part and then later my 13 yr. old stepson joined us. it was just the way i wanted it. we ended up only getting a very few things for the girls and they LOVED playing with the wrapping paper. but in the end all they kept grabbing for was dh's cell phone hahaha...figures.

    Ours was ok, a bit rough though. The kids all got sick on our 2500 mile drive so they were all cranky and having a hard time adjusting to the time change. The majority of the family couldnt make it for Christmas which was probably a good thing becuase the girls got really overstimulated and overtired. THey got lots of developmental toys which they are very happy with. All I can say is Im NOT driving this far again [​IMG]

    It was pretty good!! They got held and cuddled a lot by everyone. They got lots of cute clothes and lots of great toys, including a play gym that I had been eyeing before they were born [​IMG]

    Ours was so crazy!! It seems that its a never ending rat race around here at christmas! I was hoping this year would be more laid back but everyone still wants us at thier house instead of comming to ours. But it was still alot of fun. The girls did wonderful, lots of smiles and hamming it up the whole weekend. We are off schedule too but they are doing alright anyways. They got a lot of developmental toys and a leap frog table which I personally was excited about. They also got quite a few footed sleeper outfits which we were in dire need of. And...get this...over 300 diapers!!!

    All i can say is it sucked!! They both had the cold and their dad had the flu. They screamed all day and i had to drag them to everyones houses which knocked out their routine and made them even worse! Have to say i hope next year is better or i am going to cancel christmas x

    ours was good...they had fun with the Christmas Ornaments (shatterproof) but yeah thats what they played with they would rip a piece of the wrapping paper off the gift play with that then go over to the tree take down on ornament throw it and run after it...good thing i didnt go bonkers buying them gifts..they both got TMX elmos..at this point Im so over that damn Elmo…very cute…but after a while u can only hear that thing “LOL†so many times right? Right!
    Anjolie got 2 Dora’s…and they both got ride on / push on cars…they got sooooo many toys.. I put them in the closet for later…
    All in all they were on good behavior…it was fun too see their expressions…having Twins is amazing…having 5 kids ripping wrapping paper apart OVERWHELMING…being able to say Christmas is over PRICELESS..lol

    Our little guys got a ton of toys, jumperoo, wagon, these adorable Adidas jumpsuits (2 in black and 2 in blue and gold). They got way too many things and they don't even know it's Christmas. My dh and I didn't get them anything because we knew it would be out of control from others. I just can't imagine what it's going to be like when they actually know it's Christmas time. They basically slept forever yesterday (1 2hour nap and 1 3 hour nap) trying to recover from the weekend.
