We had a wonderful Christmas with our two boys - Hayden and Daniel!!! Daniel loved playing with the train and his new presents. Plus he really enjoyed Christmas dinner. Hayden was so adorable and very happy just like an elf.

Christmas Morning 2009

Santa brought Daniel the blue helicopter that he asked him for when he sat on his lap 2 weeks ago! The sheer joy on his face says it all!

The helicopter that Santa delivered!








Daniel was so happy with the airplanes, helicopters, cars, trucks, bugs and blimp that he received. Daniel was holding on to several planes in both hands and he could not even open the rest of his presents so Mommy and Daddy had to help! He kept saying "Open" and "More" until we got through all his presents. He was so amazingly happy that it made my heart grow several sizes. This is what Christmas is made for - little boys.
