"Merry missmas"

We've had an eventful few days. Ben has been going almost non stop since Wednesday morning. We started out at my parents house to exchange presents and have some lunch. The boys got a TON of clothes and other fun stuff. I think the big hit for Ben was a key board that has a microphone that you can talk into and it records your voice.

After, we went home to drop off presents and pack for gram and paps house. We got there just in time to turn around and head to church. By this time, Ben had no nap, little to eat, but was still running in full gear!
Pap does a quick childrens sermon in the middle of every service. This year Ben went up for the service and got to sit on paps lap. Unfortunately, he was more interested in the drums than the sermon so he didn't stay on his lap for long.
After, we continued with one of the Purdum traditions: reading "The Night Before Christmas." Ben had finally hit the wall and decided he had enough after about 10seconds. He went to bed and was asleep in minutes (very unusual for Ben).













We were up Christmas morning around 8am. Once again, the boys got a TON of clothes and a lot of other fun presents. Ben is showing off his "moon pajamas" which he got Christmas Eve and Jon is in his new OSU sweatshirt.

Sam was full of smiles all morning!

Gram made Ben a blanket after he was born to match his room. Here is grams blanket for Sam.

Meg and Zeke were exhausted watching everyone open presents.

We spent Thursday afternoon at my aunt Roses. We had lots of good food and company. Once again, Ben went without a nap. He did really well mostly because grandma and grandpa were loading him with sugar!

Friday was a lazy day inside. The women left the house for a couple hours, but quickly got back in our jammies when we got back to gram and paps.

We spent Saturday with the extended Purdum family. We got to see a lot of family we don't see very often. It was great to see everyone, but once again, Ben had no nap. We were all ready to be home. We all had a great "missmas" as Ben would say. It was wonderful being with family and we are so grateful for everyones generosity!
Lots of pics on flickr including Jon and his doll, Sams butt and aunt Corries eagle!
