mostly for the folks

Christmas morning was a pretty fun one around here, due to a little red vacuum that lights up and makes sounds, and chocolate. Yep it is barely 7 am and Gwen is digging into the treats found in her stocking. How do you like that for parenting. Harrison and Gwen played their classic parts and didn't pose for the camera. Who taught them that dirty trick?
I can't tell if Harrison was about to smile or go into a babble about "no touch" for the presents.
Gwen LOVES horses, so this and some of the other pony treasures she got were pretty exciting.
Harrison was kind enough to show me the little farm animals that came with his little people barn set, that has now been claimed by Gwen.
Guest appearances by Eve and Wall-E. She carries them around, and if she wants to watch the movie, well they are seated by her side, and she tells them when they are about to come on.
Baby Harrison and the sleepy sheep. We are getting close to his morning nap time.
Gwen is not so pleased that I am struggling to get the horses out of the packages. Who came up with all the twist ties, and tricky packaging anyway? Obviously it wasn't someone with kids waiting by their side. Poor thing, she is waiting so patiently.
And the little people house, ahhh what a treat. She is all about the house, and barn. Every time she walks into the room and they are there she is so excited it is like she was opening them for the first time. I love that.
One of my favorite things is when they play together, it is kind of rare that they are on the same page, but once in a while they can use the same toy and everything is lovely. Note the vacuum that probably hasn't left Harrison's hands since he woke up and found it with the presents. Pretty much a great Christmas morning all around, now who wants some cookies?

I wish I had gotten the barn for Kaitlin. She got Noah's ark instead. I got the ark at Kohls for $13.00, a price that couldn't be beat. She would have liked the barn better because the ark doesn't make any fun sounds. I love the silent toys, but the kids don't.

ps- the geo trax is a whole lot of fun but it is a GIANT toy. It's a good thing our living room is empty.

Oh I'm glad all of your finds were a hit, you can't go wrong with Eve and Wall-E. I love their pajamas too. How fun they are old enough to understand what's going on. I love being the mom on Christmas morning.

I miss having little kids at christmas!! They are so cute!! Honestly, that's why we did the 12 dates of christmas, so I could hang on to some cmas moments. It doesn't take too long when they are teenagers to give them their cash and gift cards.
