This is the way to end a cranky car trip... open presents! It was also Mom's birthday, so we had Cafe Rio for dinner. Mmmmmmm... Cafe Rio...
Oh, and for future reference, this is the year that Dad got Mom the dollhouse. It's huge. It's taking a lot more time to sand, paint, stain and glue every tiny piece... but you know Dad loves his projects. :)
It's so fun to see the little girl presents. Like this toy purse. Complete with money, keys, lipstick and mirror,
The boys all got a backpack for their first Christmas with their names too. Now we have pink!
Oohhhh... look what Bradley got after-all. :) His Christmas wish come true.
The only thing these boys wanted for Christmas was Legos, Legos and more Legos.
They were soooooo excited. :)
Thanks Mom and Dad! :)
Since this was not a year when all our side of the family was together, we had to do Mom and Dad's Christmas program from our various points around the country. But it all came together beautifully. Alli was gone on her mission but had recorded her part 11 and 1/2 months before in order to surprise them at the end. Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad! :)
After we finished partying it up, we finished the remaining 15 minutes of our trip back home.
We had one last surprise waiting for the kids.
Since we couldn't transport these gift to California, we had Mom and Dad put them under our tree while we were gone.
The next morning they wanted to ride the new wheels, but I told them to shovel the ice off the driveway first. Bradley was all too happy to use his new shovel.
You guys are the coolest parents! I love Bradley riding no where at the end. Such happy boys. I also can't wait to see that playhouse when it is finished! Karalee told me about it and that is such a cool thing that your dad did!!
