As you will see Preston did EXTREMELY well from Grandma and PaPa, his aunts and uncles and "Santa." It is sad to me because he really understood this year and I feel that they stop believing so quickly so these Christmases are so special. We had a great time, the family room looked as if a mall threw up and now my favorite part---after Christmas sales. LOL! Preston is loving his new bike and only the seat needed to be lowered. We also scored a helmet today so tomorrow we can take the bike outside. I am impressed at how quickly he picked up the concept of riding a bike as he has been doing laps around the house. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

OMG....that is a vile amount of gifts! So glad that you all had a wonderful Christmas! I agree, it is so sad that the magic of Santa is lost so quickly... Plus, I can't really even tell that Preston's eye is injured, except that it's a little squinty!
What great pictures :) Your home up there is so beautiful!! And I know what you mean about feeling like time will go so fast...This was the first year all 3 girls "got it", and I wonder how many more of those I will get! Can't wait to see you guys!
Wow! Looks like you all had a wonderful Christmas! Preston must have needed a nap after opening all those gifts-my goodness! Happy New Year. :)
Yeah for Preston totally scoring at Christmas! :o) Love the bike, can't wait to see pics of him outside riding it! And I hear you on the whole Santa thing, Kylie starts Kindy next year so I figure we have maybe 3 or 4 more "believing" years left to us.
Love the Gingerbread house and all of the pictures! I can't wait to see him on the bike outside! I agree the believing phase goes so fast. Rumor has it some kids stop by 1st grade and that's TOO scary! I'm hoping we have at least a few more years. He looks so grown up too - with his hair now!
WOW - Preston must have gotten a workout on Christmas with all of the unwrapping and playing! :) Cool bike - can't wait to see pictures of Preston riding it! His gingerbread house looks yummy!
Love the slideshow!! It looks like you guys had a wonderful and beautiful Christmas! Preston looks so excited in the pictures - I just want to hug him! It is such a special time when kids believe in Santa and the magic of Christmas! I felt like a kid on Christmas morning with all of Simon's excitement!
I think that it is impossible to be that good all year long to get a delivery of presents like that. All I know is I wouldn't be able to move through my living room. Looks like everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It's all worth it to see the smiles on our childrens faces. Your right, ages 4,5,and 6 are about the best times for Christmas. Definitly cherish them.
good LORD that is SOME mountain of presents!!!! Can i join the Raab family if I'm guaranteed that level of gift-receiving? and "haha" to the Adam Lambert comment. You kill me, kim. My love to the whole raab fam!!!!
What a beautiful Christmas! You guys are such a fantastic family and its so evident how you love and enjoy each other so much! Love all the great pictures...can't even tell that Pres has a shiner!! Seamus got a nice big gash on his chin from a fall in the parking lot...just in time for the holidays! Gotta love our boys :-) Happy New Year to the Raab clan!
Merry Christmas Kim! I just love looking at kids expressions on their faces when they open their presents, especially Prestons. Love his new bike. I was going to look into having a custom bike made for Aidan but I may rethink that and just look at the 12" bikes at Target,etc. I was thinking that adjustments would be needed in the handlebar area too.
Yep, you are right ... the slide show is too fast. I had to stop it to look at all of those presents! Preston is one Well LOVED boy :0) and writing the letter to Santa, too cute! I love his snowman hat!
Bummer about the black eye! I know I would have carried on about it for the same reason ... not the pictures!
Your calendar rocks! I need that one!
You need to post a video of Preston riding on his bike!
wow! Lokks like you all had a wonderful Christmas! Especially Preston! Holy cow cant believe all of those gifts! Seriously had to take all day to open them! Hope you guys have a great new years!
Holy crow! It really does look like the mall threw up in your living room! Haha! I love it! The picture of you and Preston with his snowman hat on by the fire pit is just perfect! You got so many great pictures! Poor Pres with a nice new shiner for Christmas! I hope it clears up quick! Haha! I think I need that book you got "Getting In Touch With Your Inner Bitch" Hilarious!!! Merry Christmas and Happy 2010!!!!!
Love all of your pics. It looks like you all had a wonderful time...and I bet it took hours to open all those pressies. Wild. Glad your Christmas was wonderful Kim and I wish for you, Pres and your family a wonderful and happy new year. xo
