Christmas 2013!

This year for Christmas we were pretty excited about Avery because she would actually enjoy some of the toys we got her! Last year we really shafted her and just got her a couple of dresses and little toys. We just figured, "She won't remember at six months anyways!" So this year, at 18 months, we went a little crazy. Last year it was "poor Avery" and this year it was "spoiled Avery, poor boys!" haha No they still got plenty! Here was their loot:

Avery:
- Disney Princess Fisher Price Castle, (including little people Ariel, Eric, Belle, Beast, Cinderella, Prince, Snow White, 7 dwarfs, Rapunzel, Tiana, Jasmine, Alladin)
- A Play Kitchen
- A Princess ride-on toy
- Princess dresses (Belle and Ariel)
- Minnie Mouse dress
- Books
- hair bows
- Shopping Cart and lots of food
- lots of clothes!

Caleb:
- Bey blade stadium and beyblades (the newest Japanese toy that has actually kept them pretty entertained) They are like these tops with zip cords that you pull to start them. You "battle" other people and their tops to see whose spins the longest.
- Chapter books (trying to get him to read more!)
- Clothes
- Basketball
- Razor Scooter
- A couple lego sets

Caleb:
- pretty much all the same stuff as Gabe and a Power Rangers toy and dart board thrown in

We had a pretty good Christmas! Pretty low-key for sure. We just went to the Ashton church with Josh's family on Christmas Eve morning for a brunch and had a little white elephant exchange. Josh and the boys went over to Grandpa Park's to help her with something in the afternoon (stacking firewood maybe?) and I went home with Avery. Then we were all tucked early waiting for Santa!
We video taped the kids as they came down Christmas morning. Maybe someday I will figure out how to post a video on this blog! Until then, here are some pictures! (NOTE: The husky shown in this picture was a dog that we were dog-sitting for a neighbor, not our dog, though Josh wished it was!!! ;)
