Early Christmas

We held an impromptu Christmas gift opening party since we won't be in Colorado for the holiday. Except it was just us opening gifts since we didn't bring presents to give. Gotta keep that USPS in business, right? Liam and Dash have been furiously using their new HP Touchpad and gigantic box of Duplos. Sean and I love our gifts too- among them, a new necklace and the Harry Potter bluray (finally!).

The boys also got these neat balls that change color with body heat. Through this we learned that Sean's mom and Rachel do not emit heat whatsoever.

These balls are now sporting nice mouth-sized divots.

They also got a pair of recorders.

Man, they are good at tooting their own horns.

Next came a Lion puppet and a tiger puppet. Dash made sure the Lion gave everyone a kiss or two.

Since we weren't planning on doing a gift exchange, I didn't prep the kiddos with the idea of opening wrapping paper. I think they were a little confused why I was telling them TO rip the paper.

But they always loved what was underneath. Particularly The Polar Express book. Choo choo!

Thanks for the gifts everyone! Twas a most lovely trip!
