This year, I made a true effort to scale down the amount of gifts our boys received. I tend to get easily carried away with the gift buying and the thought that "more is more" when it comes to Christmas day. Last year, it was painfully obvious that our boys were overwhelmed with toys and before the big day, I actually gave away some of last year's loot that was barely played with. Lesson learned. We had a low-key Christmas morning which was wonderful.
Carter got a two-wheeled scooter & remote-controlled jet from Santa, just like he asked for!
Davis got a Pizza Planet toy (from Toy Story) and a stick horse from Santa. Fun!
Sean got an electric snow blower...yep, it's electric. He's already used it twice!
The boys both enjoyed playing with Hex Bugs on Christmas and this set up has provided us with hours of entertainment. Those little critters look pretty darn real. Creepy.
We were so happy to have our dear friends/neighbors, the Buyrns, over for Christmas. They are like family to us and our boys love playing with their girls. It was wonderful to share the holiday with them. We had a tasty meal (thanks to Mimi for all the help and Megan for bringing a yummy ham) and then had a blast playing our new favorite game, Telestrations, afterwards. It is a hoot! We hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas too!
