'twas the night before Christmas...

...and all through the house, every creature was stirring, even the mouse rats.  The stockings aren't hung yet by the chimney full of cobwebs, and hoping that cousin Nicholas is having fun in Spain!  (Okay, so my brain is a bit fried at this point, but there's always some kind of drama going on.  It's not the peaceful day/evening I'd hoped for.  I actually think the rats in our garage are gone, but we had to deal with those recently.  We worked on cleaning mold off a couple of walls today - didn't think I'd be doing that today.  Yuck!  Because of that, the boys are all in Weston's room tonight.  The stockings really aren't out yet, nor are the presents wrapped.  We're working on that.  And cousin Nicholas really is in Spain for Christmas.  Have fun you guys!)  

So the boys got to open one present tonight - some clothes and pajamas.  Here they are in them, sitting on these boxes that are perfect for taking pictures in front of the tree!  We'll take the presents out of the boxes tonight, but we wanted to make sure they didn't get opened before Christmas.  The boys are ready!  I think I'll sleep good tomorrow night.  This is a lot of work.  It's worth it though.  Just look at these boys!
