What a blast!!
I was actually "awake" this year (I'm always awake...per se. Just extra groggy.) and able to enjoy it!
The children were so cute and excited.
Stocking were the first to come down, of course...
They each had their goodies placed in neat rows.
They wanted to see everything!
Sport has been asking for a bow and couldn't believe mom actually got him one!
This one didn't have pointed ends that could potentially stab someone, which is just what I was looking for.
He loved it!
The girls got their tin tea set and our spy got his binoculars...
A giant art kit for our little artists!
It's kept them busy for weeks.
A compass from dad for our adventurer...
He did a little dance for us after opening this one!
The long, anticipated dolls were finally unwrapped!!!
These girls could not stop giggling.
They've been hoping for and talking about these dolls for months!
(Please don't grow up. Your mommy loves the dollies too!)
Sport's had his eye on this rubber band gun for weeks.
He kept trying to save his penny's for it and has had it on his wish list!
So, he was beside himself with joy when he opened his box and found this beast of a gun.
It can hold and shoot up to ten rubber bands at a time!!!
Yikes.
Bringing out the big one!
The girls kept saying, "I just know it's our Gymnastics set. I know it!!!"
They were pretty sure it would come, because they've wanted one all year...and have not failed to remind me on a daily basis.
Lucky for the girls, they have a Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle(s) for toy makers in Arkansas that gave them their wish!
(Can you believe my dad and brothers made these?? They are so cute! And my mom cut all the mats out for them out of a yoga mat. So creative. I just love them!)
It was pretty much the best Christmas present EVER!!!
The smiles never left their faces.
I still find them taking their "little girls" to Gymnastics daily.
Coaching their dolls!
Check out those mad skillz...
The bar is definitely a favorite!
Sport showed little Timmy how to wind up his truck and play catch with his new ball...
Baby Timmy got his Lightning McQueen car!
He LOVES cars and thought this was the coolest toy.
I find him pushing himself around the house making car sounds during the day.
Makes me smile :)
Dad and sport had to get in on the Gymnastics action...
Check out that vault!
Our little scientist really needed a science kit this year.
It was one of the best decision I've ever made!
It kept him entertained for weeks.
Sport has always loved experimenting and learning new things.
(Digging for fossils)
The girls changed their "little" girls outfits and took them ice skating and rollerblading!
(Don't these dolls look like their twins? Too cute!!)
Sport assembled his wood airplane.
It took him a while, but he eventually figured it out!
Way to go, buddy!
The girls designed princess clothes with their new art kit...
I lounged in my new jammies from my JP!
They are sooo soft. I pretty much live in them now.
My baby Timmy likes to snuggle up to them too...
Check it out! He found dinosaur bones!
I took a little peek on the girls Christmas evening to see what they were up to.
Sure enough, they were coaching their girls in Gymnastics!
Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma for making their dreams come true!!
Hopefully I can upload some Christmas videos for Grandpa and Grandma soon.
We feel very blessed to have had such a wonderful Christmas this year!
We hope you did too.
