'Tis the Season, Part 5 (Christmas!)

 

Evidence that Santa arrived (just in case the presents under the tree didn't give it away).


It sure is getting difficult making it down the stairs (with ready camera) before the girls do!  This just might be the last Christmas I get this photo...

 

Opening up their first gift from Santa---a Perplexus Ball.  Neither one of them were thrilled.  At all.


Gift number two:  Watches!  Again, a total let-down from Santa.


Gift numbers three and four finally scored!  A Dorothy doll for Quincy (and Toto for Ellie) and....the big one they REALLY (reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy) wanted.....


Rainbow Loom twist-bands bracelet making kit!!! (They are all the rage in the schools right now...according to the girls). 


Tink and Otis just sat there staring.



For the family:  A badminton set.  Tim's idea...we'll see!

For Tim:  A remote-control helicopter.  He lovesssssssssssssssss it! 

For me:  A new set of wine glasses (yay!) and The Cake Maker's Bible (yummmmmm). 


By the next morning, the girls had each made 4 feet of "bracelet" and Ellie had mastered the Perplexus.
