I wrapped the presents this morning. I placed them under the tree just before lunch. It was our intent to open them right after lunch.
What is present opening day without tears? Impossible! Not 30 seconds after placing the gifts under the tree, Coutney grabbed Lindsay's gift and started to open it. Apparently no one explained to the 2 year old that not ALL the gifts belonged to her.
This year, each kid got 1 present. Then we also bought some 'group' gifts. Here is a picture of the group gifts: A box of puzzles, The entire Mr. Bean collection, 3 Jamie Soles' Cd's, Mario Party 9, and a pack of batteries.
Courtney opened her present first. Bubble Guppy board books, Little People and some Bubble Guppies.
Seth got tractors and the skid steer he's been begging to have for awhile now.
Paul got the K-NEX roller coaster he wanted.
Lindsay got the Friends Lego Vet Clinic that she wanted.
And Eric loved the Lego Kingdoms set we got for him. It has a dragon and a wizard so he was SUPER happy.
The afternoon was spent putting the sets together. It makes me laugh to see how the kids were playing their games. Here Eric is bringing his dragon to the Vet Clinic because his dragon has a cough. "Dragons are rare," he explained, "and you have to take good care of one if you get one!" Later he brought his rat who had the flu and his spider who broke his leg. Lindsay patched them all up. Later the dragon accumulated lung problems--probably had something to do with all that second hand smoke he was inhaling.
Typical, Seth is playing on his own with his tractors.
The spider's visit to the vet clinic.
Paul's roller coaster was not the funnest thing to put together. But Dan persevered and Paul LOVES it!
It has a small motor and track that pulls the car up the track and then gravity does the rest.
OVERLOAD!
Christmas carnage. Sigh.
