Christmas

The above photo pretty much sums up what every square inch of our floor looks like. Legos everywhere!
Melina gave us this drum set. Keats thought the set would be too small for him but it is actually a great size. We put the drums out in the garage and he's already asked to go out and bang on them a few times.

Sully was given a Leapster 2 from Santa.

Have you heard of these handheld games? Neat stuff! First of all, it is all math, reading, and things like shapes/colors...but there is a game going on so kids don't really see it as learning. Jokes on them! ;o) These little machines connect to a website and stores all kinds of fun information. You can follow how your kid is progressing in the three Rs, limit how much time they can play each day---the coolest thing, imho....you can have the machine turn off after 30 minutes or up to as much as six hours!! We chose to set no limit for now since the toys are new and the kids are on vacation anyway. The kids are rewarded points for how much they play and improve and those points can be turned in for prizes on the website. Cool stuff.

Sully is showing off his Buzz Lightyear jammies.

You have to watch this kid with candy! Especially chocolate! I wasn't watching him as he pulled items out of his stocking and when I looked over he had shoved a HUGE piece of chocolate in his mouth and was trying to open a second. He eats the candy incredibly fast, too.

Sully the rock star.

More chocolate!!

Sully just shoves his candy in his mouth as fast as he can, but Keats puts it all out in front of him and enjoys looking at it while he eats.

Chocolatey teeth! Good thing Santa brought new toothbrushes and toothpaste! (and very funny that both boys get so excited to receive new toothbrushes!!)
