After Christmas

I complain a lot about Mike's job not paying the greatest, but I do have to admit his benefits mostly make up for it. One huge perk is getting two weeks off at Christmas. Some of my favorite moments are lounging around in pjs for a few days after Christmas with Mike and watching the kids play with their new toys.

Gage tried really hard to put this lego toy together on his own, but some of the colors looked similar making it difficult. It took both of us three days to complete it. I don't think I ever want him to take it apart after all that work!

The boys love the Zhu Zhu pets and funhouse.

Tanner is wondering when Mike and I are ever going to put his beloved train track together.

Love these cars that don't transform but look like the cars on Transformers.

Ady got a new four wheeler for Christmas that Tanner had to try out. We brought up Gage's four wheeler he got for his 1st birthday, but it finally died and we couldn't get it to work. I don't know how happy Ady was to share.

Gage loving holding baby Iylah. He is begging for a baby sister. I told him if we have another baby he wouldn't get to choose. It could be another brother. I don't know how he feels about that.

My mom's attempt at getting a picture of all the grandkids together. We didn't quite get one Christmas Eve so we had to try a few days later.

Landen got a new Nintendo game that he is loving. Mario Party.

My parents love to come a few days after Christmas and check out all the new toys. Finally, the track is complete.

Gage is explaining how all the traps work on his Indiana Jones Lego set.

Tanner showing Grandma his workbench. He really hasn't built anything yet.

I think Tanner likes the Zhu Zhu pets the most out of all the boys.

Gage got a remote controlled helicopter. It is really hard to maneuver.

Grandpa is even having a hard time controlling the helicopter.
