Merry Christmas Eve!

Santa came one day early to the Black house! Today was Christmas morning and we had fun watching the boys open their presents. There were lots of presents for Micah to open, and the trouble was wanting to play with each toy as he opened it and not really caring about opening the next present! First up was a ride-in police car. We had to explain the difference between an indoor toy and an outdoor toy with this one, but it's such a nice day here (77 degrees), that he got to take it outside for a spin after he finished opening his presents. Santa brought Micah a couple of puzzles including one that's too easy for him, but he adores because it's got lots of pictures of different vehicles and when you put the piece in the right place, it makes the noise of the vehicle. Brilliant! This is a book of five puzzles that you can do right inside the actual book. Ideal for traveling. Liam wasn't left out! He did a lot of wide-eyed staring... ...but loved his new stuffed squeaky dog! Micah loves Mickey and Minnie Mouse, so Santa brought him some fun figurines. Here is Micah naming all the Disney characters. Liam loves his new Tigger! (Santa had a Disney gift card to use up, so that explains all the Disney toys!) Derek and Rebekah's daughter Naomi and her husband Craig sent Micah a bear after Liam was born and we saved it for Christmas. He obviously loves it - thank you, Naomi and Craig!! A fun duck game where the ducks all go around in a circle and quack a lot. Why Santa brought so many noisy toys, I don't know. Giving Tigger a ride in the police car. He got the hang of it pretty quickly - only a couple of quick detours on the lawn. Some of the loot, since I forgot to take a picture of all the presents under the tree before they were opened. Two other fun toys - a work bench and a microwave. The end!! :)
