Christmas!

Continued from my last post...

Ben sees some toys under the tree, and a note that says to check under Aunt Amber's tree. He now sleeps without a shirt (because that's how Daddy sleeps).
Ben loved his Handy Manny race car!

Mimi got a statue of St. Francis. Matt tried to feed him a Nerd.

Matt and Mimi look at Ben's new Automoblox.

Ben and Matt fly their new Harriers together.

Matt likes to sit on the cabinet next to the Christmas candy. He is flying another new airplane. He is getting really good at making sound effects.

Grandpa and Ben work with the new Trio blocks. Ben said Grandpa was building a Car Wash 3000. Grandpa didn't know what he was building.

The gingerbread house.

Ben's new cleats and shinguards for soccer which starts in January!

Ben on the ride over to Nat, Will, and Lexie's house for Christmas dinner.

Ben plays with Lexie's camper.

Lexie and Matt take a break on the couch after an intense game of chase around the house.

Ben, Lexie, and Matt enjoy some goldfish by the tree. Silly kids!

Matt was being silly on the ride home.

Ben was exhausted after his big day!

The boys and I had a great time with my family in Georgia and Grandpa John. We missed having Dan with us, but we were able to skype with him early Christmas morning. We skyped again today (26th). Dan had a quiet Christmas in Japan. He's enjoying a few days off. He was hoping to go skiing this weekend but was unable to get a rental car. Maybe next weekend! The boys showed Daddy all of their wonderful gifts today! We're very thankful for all of the gifts and cards. We hope everyone had a great Christmas. Enjoy the rest of 2009 - Best wishes in 2010!

We leave for Yuma early January 1st and hope to arrive home late Jan. 2nd or early on the 3rd. Papa is driving with me and flies home on the 4th. He'll be able to help me unload the car and settle back into our home. Dan should get home a few weeks later!
