whew!

Well, it was a crazy morning, but we all survived. As usual, Santa got a little carried away and the kids got way more than was originally planned. It is hard to know when to stop when you keep seeing "just one more thing" that the kids have to have.

Grace's big gift this year was a Nintendo DS. She loves it, and now she doesn't have to borrow Garrett's DS. They have already figured out how to wirelessly connect to each other and play games against one another.

Jack's main gift was this John Deere tractor, and you can see that he is quite pleased to have it. Every time we were at Wal-Mart and we passed the toy aisle he reminded us how much he wanted this tractor.

And Garrett's main gift was an electric scooter. He didn't know he wanted it, but he can't get enough of it now. It is a little frightening to me to watch him cruising around on it, but he just loves it. I even got on it a couple of times, it is really fun.

The aftermath of too much Christmas joy! Thanks to all our family and friends who helped to make this a magical Christmas for all the kids!

It's a good thing Monday is garbage day!
