The boys got some nice presents for Christmas! Alex isn't really into opening presents yet. He was a little under the weather, so he saved some presents for this morning. Evan was more that willing to help him open presents!
Milk cup in one hand and his new dragon fly flashlight in his other hand. He wasn't feeling well, but he was still having some fun with their new toys.
This Dora guitar was a big hit and will get you singing those Dora songs in your head. They both LOVE Dora. The guitar is a little girly, but they don't care!
Evan got a new Curious George Story Book. He Loves reading and watching Curious George.
Christmas Eve we opened some gifts with my parents! Alex got some bedding for his "Big Boy" bed that he will be moving into one of these days. Let us know if anyone needs a crib...we are gonna have two of them to unload! We've had Evan's on Craigslist for a couple months and haven't had any calls on it.
Mom's favorite present...a Sweet Martha's Cookie tub from the State Fair filled with Sweet and Sour sauce from McDonald's. She was excited thinking it was cookies and even more excited when it was Sweet and Sour sauce! Speaking of the MN State Fair...the other night at dinner Evan says to me ..."Mommy can we go to the State Fair"? I told him we have to wait until late August to go to the fair again. He really has a good memory for stuff like that. With all the snow we have I don't think the State Fair would be very fun this time of year.
Evan got some new track for his Thomas Train. He had fun playing with the train cars. He got a new Percy train and it kept catching up with Arthur and Thomas, because they have been around awhile.
Playing with the trains is a tough job. There are lots of derailments!
Santa brings them an easel for Christmas and Alex has to go in between the sides!
Santa brings them a big tub of Mega Blocks and Evan empties it out and climbs inside!
I bought an under bed storage container from IKEA and what do they do with it? Where is Evan?
SURPRISE!
Both boys try out the storage box!
Christmas Day we went to Eric's parents. The boys got a bunch of CAT equipment. Gay gets out the macaroni, so they have something besides sand to move around.
You can see all the macaroni on the carpet...and you can see what I mean by a bunch of CAT equipment. They all have buttons to make noise and play music. Some of these will be heading back to Grandma and Grandpa's. There is a big TONKA dump truck too. That makes a lot of noise going up and down the hall without any button!
Uncle Greg helps Alex hook up the boat trailer to his truck.
Evan climbed into the laundry basket tonight and said he was Baby Jesus!
Alex got a Buzz Lightyear cell phone for Christmas. This has probably been the most fought over toy. Why is it you buy something for one kid and the other kid has to have it or like it better than the kid you gave it to!
We had a wonderful Christmas and are so fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family! We hosted about 23 people here for Christmas Eve. Thanks to my parents who do most of the work. Eric's parents and Aunt Michelle also joined us. Alex went to bed about 8:00, but Evan stayed up until 10:00 to wave to the last guests out his window before going to bed. He got to meet his new 3rd cousin Eva and gave her one of his favorite toys when he was her age. Eva has the same Birthday as Alex (March 3rd)...so they are just a year apart! Eva's Mom and I were born just a couple days apart in the same year!
