Christmas 2012

We traveled to Grandview for Christmas this year and were able to spend some good time with Mike's family.  It was a quick trip with lots of activity, but we were glad to be able to be there.  Max had a good first Christmas and Molly was thrilled with all of her gifts.  It seemed like the whole Christmas season came and went in record time this year!

Grandma and Grandpa Great with the awesome cookbook of Grandma's recipes that Nancy, Melissa and Jessica put together.

All 7 of the grandkids trying to hard to wait patiently to get downstairs and see what Santa left.

This is seconds after discovering the Princess Little People Castle that Santa left.

"Seriously Mom, we get to keep these toys?"

To say she was happy would be an understatement.

Hard to get them to stop and pose for a picture when there is so much to explore.

Max had some interesting methods for getting into his presents.  At one point he was biting the box, but I couldn't get a picture quick enough.

He worked really hard.

 

The Peppa Pig dollhouse was also a big hit.

So I gave Molly $10 and told her she could pick out anything in Target she wanted to give Daddy for a present.  She spent like an hour wandering around between the sporting goods section, the toy section, the electronic section and everywhere in between.  Eventually she settled on a Ray Mysterio WWE wrestling figure.  Odd choice, but she was so excited.

Proof I was there too.  :-)

Back home on Christmas night playing with the new stuff.
