some bananagrams to pass the time until Jamie wakes up!
he's awake!
and on the move :)
Jamie peaked early - the flashlight was hooked to the stocking hanger... didn't even want to look inside the stocking anymore :)
ok maybe a little
oh! found some truck pez
and a tiny dino!
not so bad, stocking!
he refused to open this gift. Just wanted to stand on it
finally opened it.
and promptly did NOT want to open more. Only to play with these dinosaur transformers
oh he loved this one
this is her "I love it so much I can't stand it" face
Gabby's Dollhouse PEZ!
I got a new set of pots and pans from everybody!
highly recommend the "rock" brand.
they rock!
again, Jamie refused to open his bag of gifts from us.
he finally opened it at 6 pm
trying to teach him not to put his mouth on it
he is so different from our other kids.
which makes him harder to parent, because the usual methods done fly
but it also makes him such a surprise and so funny sometimes.
we started having to tell him what was inside each box to convince him to unwrap it
he has broken many a thing in his short life, but the only thing I've ever seen him show remorse over breaking was his astronaut helmet (which had preceded him by a number of years - even made it to Weston's 2nd grade music production if you'll recall).
so he got a new one to replace that one :)
sibling santa gifts!
Reagan nailed it with the big transformers set
family hit
Charlotte got Reagan a "barbie farm"
not, as you may think, a farm that produces barbies, but a farm for the barbies to live at :)
the chickens even lay eggs!
RIP to one of these wine glasses
at least I got a photo
oh dixie, not really for you
and the Christmas show the kids have been planning all week!
made even more dramatic with the addition of the microphone
#1 fan!
tada!
first ever attempt at a christmas pickle tree!
it's been a long day
and someone ruined her intro to Dad's birthday song :(
oddly enough, Jameson was jonesing to open Matt's birthday gift :)
nut clusters and a hawkeye I cookie!
what a day!
Merry Christmas!
