Christmas Present Fun!

Last year after Christmas I had the idea of making pictures of the boys with their Christmas presents and turning it into a blog post so the grandparents and aunts and uncles could see them playing with all their goodies. This year I decided to do the same thing as a way to say THANK YOU. My boys were spoiled lots at Christmas and have enjoyed their new toys so much. These pictures don't capture the boys with every single present... but almost. Thanks so much Granna, Papa, AnAn, Frankie, Nana, Pops, Kara, and Denny!!

Disclaimer: We rock Christmas pj's at our house throughout the Winter... or as long as the temperatures are Winter-like. =)

This one gets the award for favorite book! It's the kind that has buttons to push for different noises/sound effects, including the Disney song on the title. They love it. And we sing It's a Small World about 17 times a day. See Austin clapping to the music? Presh.
 
The boys love pushing around their dump trucks together. Garrison got his for Christmas a couple of years ago and Austin got his very own this Christmas 

There's my little mechanic again. =)
 
Here's Austin pushing around his "pop-pop" and playing with his farm. He's at the age where he plays with something independently (without Garrison) for about 30 seconds before moving on. So both pictures below were snapped within approximately 90 seconds of each other.
 
Garrison with his "Dream Lite" ready for bed and playing his Mobi Go. Two big hits at our house.

Other than pushing around dump trucks together, one of the boys most favorite things to play with/in is the fire truck tent that my parents had Santa deliver. Huge hit. They love to get inside of it with all their little treasures and play or wrestle or lean over and make the tent collapse on them. (Actually Austin is the only one who does that on purpose.) But they love getting into trouble in the tent. And the best part is that we can fold it up and put it away super easy. Double yay!
 
On this particular day they had a picnic inside the tent. Melt my heart.
Thank you SO much everybody for blessing my boys this Christmas!!  They are becoming better and better playmates and I have loved witnessing them playing together and asking for each other and wanting the other to wake up or come into the same room so they can play together. All of their goodies have been hits... including new clothes which aren't pictured! Thanks a ton!!
