We decided to have Christmas a week early. In other words, we cheated and opened presents last Sunday night! It has actually been really nice because now this week has been very relaxing. The kids have had time to enjoy their new toys. I've been able to put away all the holiday decorations & such without a rush - AND pass our Christmas tree along to a nice family who will be able to use it this year (and years to come!).
Now as I take a break from packing, I wanted to share some pics from our 'Christmas morning':
Anndra was first to open her present. Lincoln is peering inside as well - just as eager to see what's inside as she is. :)
She received a little plastic tea set.
Want a cookie?
Look on her shoulders (above) for her second present - a Dora backpack.
Lincoln received a new Dinosaur Train character. Check out that adorable little grin!
Learning how the buttons work.
"Don't bother me [to take a picture], I'm playing."
Lincoln's second gift was a set of little cars with a race track, which Parker picked out for him. I think P was more excited to play with it than L was!
Parker received a Smart Globe.
He has been busy learning all sorts of interesting facts about far away lands, comparing populations of countries, and looking up flight times to different places around the world.
The kids have had a lot of fun with their new gifts this week. Lincoln's new dinosaur has been riding on the back of his big wheel tricycle every time we go for a spin around the neighborhood (which is nearly every day). Parker has discovered the setting that plays the national anthem of each country and likes to groove to the tune from Bolivia. Anndra has been feeding her dolls (and all of us!) several times a day:
But I don't think anything can beat last year's gift. It is still the favorite activity, day after day, year-round. We love our trampoline!
