The Real Christmas post

I knew I wanted to share with everyone all of our great experiences during this Christmas season. I have a few movies to post and hopefully they'll do our enjoyment justice. 

Christmas was so fun this year with McCoy. It was so fun to watch him enjoy everything. Personally, I was the most excited to see how he would respond to all the presents. It was a week celebration for us and we got the chance to spend it with family. Traci had a fun week planed for us and we loved being able to spend time with everyone. 

We also enjoyed our Christmas Tradition to visit Uncle Jonny. We love going to see him and doing it just once a year isn't enough. McCoy loved playing at his house..From the trucks, cars, balls and antique toys to the planes and stuffed animals McCoy couldn't get enough. When I was younger, all I can remember is how conducive my Uncle Jonny's house was for little kids. It's such a welcoming home and visiting with him is so unforgettable. I hope McCoy grows up with the same feeling towards him as my whole family does.  This picture was taken with a classic Polaroid Picture...well it's a copy of it. 

 Uncle Jonny had these earphones that cancel out sound. McCoy loved them. Check out this video of his sweet laugh. (Link Below)

On Christmas Eve, Santa's Elves brought everyone PJ's. When McCoy heard the knock at the door, he went running. He opened it up, saw all the presents, gasped for air and said, "WOW!" It was priceless. His reaction to the slippers and PJ's he received was just perfect. He was so happy and excited. Trev caught this on tape. (Link Below) 
Christmas Morning was exciting for us at the Skousen house. Elder Skousen was able to call us and we skyped for about 35 minutes. It was a perfect start to a Christmas day. It was 7 in the morning so the kiddos weren't as happy to see him as we all were. 
After talking to him, we made our way upstairs to see what Santa had brought us. McCoy so excited....he was actually more excited about what everyone else was opening up than what he actually got. Santa brought him a BIKE....and sadly, he could have cared less. He loved the little trucks and the Tech-decks. He made his way through his stocking and then through other's stockings. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas morning.  (Links Below) 

McCoy wasn't sure about his bike that Santa brought him. He still has a hard time with it but I don't think it will take him too long to pick it up. Here's a movie Trev got of him working his way into the movement of the bike. (Link Below)
