Christmas Day!

I think this will go down as our best Christmas yet.  The kids had so much fun and the weather was nice enough (low 40s), that we could get outside and test out some of the toys.  I think the adults had as much fun toy testing as the kids did.  But let's start at the beginning....

Santa came during the night leaving a spy watch and a shark's tooth necklace for Finn.


Sabine got a baby doll and a puppy that can bark and walk.

And Lourdes got a Megara doll (from Hercules) and a watch (not pictured)

And that was only the beginning of the gifts...

Lourdes and Sabine got some great nail polish and stickers from Gigi

A Hercules doll from mom and dad.

Even when it wasn't their turn to open presents, Sabine and Lourdes had to be in the action.


Elsa and My Little Pony getting their hair done.


And jewelry boxes all of their own....


Then it was time to head outside and test out Finn's archery set.


And the girls' skates.  They did a great job balancing for their first time out.


But the big hit of Christmas was the flying car from Aunt Jen.  This thing could really fly!  Like up to the telephone wires high.  We all took turns with it and had a blast.

Cheering Dad and Finn on in their new hats and gloves made by Gigi.


And then it was time to come back inside and take the puppy for a walk.

After dinner, we snuggled up on the couch and put on a holiday movie.  I couldn't have asked for a nicer day.  Merry Christmas to all!
