IMGP0242  The boys picked out a present to open on Christmas Eve - Grampa and Grammie's present was the pick! Marshmallow shooters! IMGP0244  Treats for Santa and reindeer! IMGP0245  Sam's card was so funny! "What's all this holiday talk about?" IMGP0246  Cards to his parents. I wept immediately. I couldn't even finish reading. Such a dear. And if you knew the whole story behind this. A child sitting near him deleted the whole thing, so he got help from the teacher who took his dictation and recovered it. So he had to remember all these things twice! That child who deleted it on purpose did get in some trouble. I showed Sam how to hit "undo" and also where the recycle bin is in case it happened again.
IMGP0247  These guys got right up this morning and started digging in, before waking us up!!!! OMG! :) IMGP0248  So happy with their treats! This is from TIto Pig - a Minecraft book! IMGP0250  Daddy helping to open a special gift - from Santa - Mindstorms Education edition! IMGP0251  Wow! And an Expansion set, too!

IMGP0263  A neat book from Aunt Mary! IMGP0265  Daddy's present! IMGP0266  From Aunt Debbie! IMGP0267  And a rock tumbler from Tito Pig - such a great idea! He visited for a week with Mary and Isabella and just racked up all kinds of knowledge about the kids. What a wonderful brother.
IMGP0270  Ben loves this glow-in-the-dark basketball! IMGP0271  Sam trying out a glass slide for his guitar - neat! IMGP0272  Oh boy! There will be a family war over this present from Tito Pig! IMGP0274
