One last Christmas post!

I know Christmas is in the distant past now, but I realized I didn't post highlights of the kids opening gifts that our family mailed us before (and after) we went on our trip (they ended up in the folder for late January which I've gotten to recently)... so here they are for our family  :).  I really think it was more fun for our two to have several days of opening a few gifts a day, rather than one day with tons of gifts, and Ry Ry and Mei Mei loved it!  Thank you again to our family for the wonderful gifts... they're still playing with and enjoying everything!

Maylee has enjoyed playing with this activity book in the car

Maylee's first little purse :)

Oh boy a curious George matching game!

WOW a rocket!!

Blast off!!!

Loving his take apart crane truck that he "assembled" himself!

Fun with cupcakes... She loves "baking" these in their kitchen set oven and feeding them to her baby doll! :)

So happy!

Maylee (and Rylan) also love to scoot and push each other on their racer ride-on toy from Granmommy and Big Dad, but I don't have any good pictures of them on it! Will try to add some later!

We also did an Advent calendar for the first time this past Christmas, and the kids really enjoyed it!  We put verses of the Christmas story in with the wooden magnetic characters for each day, and read all the verses of the story as we added more characters to the nativity scene.  Ry especially enjoyed putting the characters in the stable, and it was a special way to learn about the Christmas story throughout the month.
