<>< christmas morning ><>

it didn't take very long for this...

to turn into this!

ford's favorite gifts were his police robot and his pillow pet. {why did i not come up with that idea?}...

luke's were the girls' new dollhouse and minivan...

and duncan's was sophie!


ford got a race track and luke got a thomas travel track...

joseph & mark were pumped about guitar hero to go with their new xbox's!

everyone was spoiled rotten, but i think the kids would have been perfectly content with just their stockings. it was a great lesson for me to learn...and to remember it's not about the presents. God already have us the best gift we could ever receive.

and this is how ford would have spent the rest of the trip if we had let him...playing his new leapster games. it's a good thing they're {slightly} educational.

we've definitely had to set a limit on screen time!

this kid is just like his daddy - after every gift he opened, he put them in a neat pile off to the side and then would go hug and thank the person it was from. a touch ocd with a heart of gold!
