The tree and the kids trying to be patient!
Opening the stuff in their stockings.
Ellie enjoying her rawhide present.
Owen got a lot of tools this year. One came with these goggles and he looked so funny!
Addison excited about her squinkies.
Arilyn with her Easy Bake Oven...which we had to try out as soon as the present opening was done!
This is the only thing Addison kept asking about for Christmas- a pink tutu that's all connected. She has a blue one, but the skirt is separate and it falls down. She kept this on most of the day even though it was cold- she didn't care!
Owen loved this construction bull dozer.
All three kids got these remote control cars and had several races in the afternoon.
Arilyn trying out Owen's goggles.
I think Addison is trying to pull the puppy's tooth out with Owen's pliers, but who knows!
Arilyn with her volcano kit.
More tools!
Me- trying to get the toys out of the packaging!
Shawn watching everyone play.
For the record- I did not do this! This was a picture that Rhonda took, but I thought it was funny! As usual, Ellie looks thrilled!
Arilyn with her light up hula hoop.
I know I will regret buying this, but Owen loved it, as did Arilyn and Addison. It will cause many headaches I know!
Arilyn got a game called Headbandz and it is hilarious! You wear the headband and have to try to guess what you are by asking the other players questions. It was pretty fun!
Addison trying to guess.
Owen never asked any questions, but he sure liked wearing the headband!
Addison got the game Operation and was trying to practice.
The next day, Arilyn and Shawn made her volcano. They had to mold the whole thing from clay then paint it and finally it was ready to erupt!
Owen waiting for the volcano.
It wasn't as big of an eruption as the kids would have liked it to be, but they still thought it was pretty neat!
Owen watching as it erupted.
Addison laughing at the volcano.
