The "Joey" dolls were such a hit the boys went right to them in the morning and started playing with them despite the pile of unopened presents under the tree!
Elizabeth seemed to know that this gift was hers and made a bee line for it as soon as I set her down.
She just kept smiling and patting it. At this point I'm not sure she knew what to do with it.
She hugged it like this for quite some time before finally getting up and moving on to something else. We decided to sit back and let her figure it out.
This girl loves her stuffed animals...especially her puppy dogs and kitty cats.
Giving the Slinkys a whirl.
I love the smiles of excitement on Lizzie's and Jon Jon's faces!
She finally figured it out!
And now she scoots around the house on it like the cutest little thing. The wheels are on casters which allow her to swivel around and navigate her way throughout the house with ease.
Jonathan was able to read the names on the gifts and was excited to help pass them out. Of course, he was most excited when he came across a gift labeled "Jonathan"!
The boys have been in a bit of a "Where's Waldo?" craze so they were very excited to add a few more books to their collection.
Sweet Jonathan. If you look closely you can see he's holding his new "pace suttle" (space shuttle)...definitely one of his favorite stocking stuffers.
"This 100 piece Star Wars puzzle is for me, right?"
I love the glow of the sun on her hair.
Dave came over that morning with his camera and captured some really sweet moments. I'm so glad he did...most of the pictures in this post were taken by him.
After a very rainy Christmas Eve we awoke to a beautiful Christmas morning. It was the perfect morning for the kids' first playtime on their new swing set.
Without question, the boys' favorite "element" of the swing set is the "horsey swing" and they ride on it together all the time.
All smiles on her "big girl" swing.
And there she goes for her first attempt at the slide.
No fear!
Ooh, ouch!
But this tough cookie was completely un-phased and made her way to the steps again and again.
Nothing will keep her down...not even a seriously runny nose!
Can we get a Kleenex over here?
I think he was a little disappointed to find out that his new (toy) chain saw wouldn't really cut anything...try as he might to make it do so.

I can't believe how grown up your children are! Elizabeth is a doll.
