Christmas gifts from Grammy and Grandpa A

Jonathan's new camera face - a wrinkled-up nose.

Still happy despite the fact that the stomach bug was brewing in his belly.

These construction vehicles are fun and loud, and sadly, they don't have an off button.

Why do they make toy packaging so difficult for parents?

Here my patient helpers try to help me free Handy Manny's tools.

Since we couldn't go to Boston this year for Christmas, we brought Grammy and Grandpa into our living room, via Skype. If you haven't tried this it is so great! They could see us and we could see them, and they could watch the boys open their presents, and the best part - it's free!

A pull-along puppy for Jonathan.

Can you see the excitement in his face for the new GeoTrax GeoAir?! BIG HIT!

Turns out, it's a great toy for both boys. Andrew flies Jumbo the Jet and Jonathan tries to catch it. Then Andrew screams, and we rescue Jumbo and distract Jonathan, and then the whole game starts over again.

Another coffee drinker is born!

"Let's see. Mommy just filled this box with paper. I wonder what she'd say if I removed it all?"

Busted!

We opened more presents on Tuesday night, this time from Grammy and Grandpa. We got lots of great stuff and the boys played and played. We had a hard time dragging Andrew off to bed that night. We finally had to threaten to put the toys back in their boxes if he didn't go to bed. That did the trick! But he was up early the next morning to make sure nothing was boxed up. Thanks for all of our great presents Grammy and Grandpa!
