Never Too Late

It's never too late to do a Christmas post, right?!  I am not sure where this last week has gone but blogging obviously did not find it's way in!  I do want to record our Christmas happenings so I will try to catch up over the next few days about our adventures(as getting back in to school mode gives me any more time...ha!)  Anyway...we'll start with the Roby Family Christmas the Friday before Christmas day.

Here are the boys anxiously awaiting the arrival of the rest of the family to get the party started!  We had pizza(although I don't think the kids actually tasted it they ate it so fast) before heading downstairs for presents!

All of the boys...with one more added to the bunch in a few weeks! I love all boys!

Haiden was SO fun to watch open gifts this year.  He was so happy with everything, wanted to get all the paper off the box before really looking at it and was so much easier to control than last year--ahh the joys of the boys getting older!

A Cars umbrella from cousin Grayson! One more thing he can have of his own and not fight his brother for!

He also was a big(wink wink) helper to others opening their presents.  He could only get away with this with the adults though ;)  Mommy getting some K Cups and a new crock pot!

He was right by grandpa's side most of the night--and grandpa is moving back home at the end of the month--YEAH!!! He has been living in Ithaca for the past few years and coming home on weekends and the boys are so excited that grandpa will be home when we go to visit(which is kind of a lot, Dad so stock up on that jerky!)

 

Trying out a cool racing toy.  Cars seemed to be the theme this year.  As the boys get older it is so nice to get things that we all can play together and share(well, I use the term "sharing" loosely.  Many of you know what it is like to have siblings share!  We have had some good life lessons on sharing these past few weeks!)

My parents do the BEST stockings.  We all look forward to these as really they are not a simple stocking, but a HUGE gift bag filled with all kinds of cool gadgets,  things used around the house, treats, lotions, candles, socks, soap, you name it!  This year I got this little gadget that is supposed to make your plain coffee with cream into a latte!  I'm still figuring it out but it's fun!  The boys enjoy the cool things in stockings....like POP!

They were SO excited to get their very own pop!  So simple, but so them.  Oh, and a shoe horn.  Weird I know, but Cameron loves to use the shoe horn and grandpa and grandma's!

One of Cameron's favorite gifts this year were roller blades!  We have had them on every day and he has gotten so much better already!  Thank goodness for all the pads that came with them, though, otherwise we would have gone through many pairs of pants and band-aides for the palms of his hands from breaking his falls!

We have a long shaped basement so he has been able to get some good practice in!  Can you see the smile on his face?

And a little tidbit into my life...here are my 2 older brothers.  Not sure what prompted me to take their picture but thought I would share!

Chip(Christopher) is on the left(he is the oldest) and Brandon is on the right.  Even though they still pick on me and call me names, I am proud to call them my big brothers. And Dad, don't go telling them I said that!!
