200 some shots later and this is the best family photo we could get... our 4 year old can't seem to make a normal face for photos :)
Once again, Rowen's attempt at smiling for the camera just turns out looking pretty silly! Yet so adorable too.
Rowen loved passing out the gifts to everyone. We were so proud of him. He was very patient and generous- just as excited about giving gifts as he was about receiving them. He was very interested in seeing everyone's reactions to certain gifts especially the gifts he chose for mommy, daddy, and Paxton.
Grammy took Rowen shopping to pick out a gift for mommy, daddy, and Paxton.
Rowen did such a good job. He chose the gifts with very little guidance from Grammy. He found the perfect gift for each of us!
A race car game for daddy! Perfect for daddy and Rowen to play together:). And they already have- many times!
A single cup coffee maker for mommy. No more wasting tons of coffee!
A darling, soft Pooh Bear for little brother Paxton.
Grammy and Papa wrapped one of Rowen's gifts in a big box with a hole cut out of the top. We all wondered why? Well, soon we found out...

Thank goodness it wasn't a puppy (daddy was seriously worried for awhile)! But we have welcomed 5 friendly dinosaurs into our family!
We all think they are pretty fun!
Paxton got some good snuggle time with Uncle TJ.
And a good nap too :)
What a fun Christmas Eve morning. We couldn't have asked for a better start.
After we had a chance to play with our new toys we headed to Sky High Sports. The Gill family and Gigi met us there. This place is seriously so much fun! Perfect for everyone to enjoy; however, I think the big boys had the most fun!
After all that exercise we were ready for more presents and a delicious meal at the Gills.
What a fun Christmas Eve with our two boys and all of our family. It felt different this year having our 2 kids to celebrate Christmas with. It felt just right. Last Christmas we didn't know that I was pregnant with Paxton. We would find out in 10 days and our lives would be changed forever once again.
What joy and fun they both brought to every little bit of this day and every day.

Sounds like you guys had a seriously fun Christmas Eve!! I think it is so great that Ro got to go shopping with your mom to pick out presents for everyone. She is such a good grammy! And I love that you all went to Sky High...no ice skating this year? The matching t-shirts you and Eric wore are great! I can't believe it was just after Christmas last year that you found out you were pregnant with Pax...seems like just yesterday...time goes too fast. And finally, I think your family picture is ADORABLE!
Merry Christmas! Emery has the same problem smiling for pictures :) I'm finding somethings it's just better to take candid shots :)
Wow, that Sky High place looks like so much fun! I keep hearing people talk about it but I had never seen pictures. Did you rent it out? It looked like it wasn't too crowded.
