And All the Rest

Starting with the stockings

Joseph's first set of Legos. Really exciting for Matt and me. Joseph has incredible amounts of patience for things like this, sitting for hours at a time to accomplish a model.



Everyone had oranges in their stockings. Nathan walked around, got each one and threw them...at people, at the tree.
You name it.

Sarah gave Matt his first set of slippers since he was a child. She picked them out herself and was so eager to give them to Matt that I thought she might explode!

Nathan's favorite gift of all was this spatula.
Matt quickly Christened it the "Ginger-Whack".
He spent most of the morning torturing poor Matt.

Joseph's present from Santa was a tractor that he has been asking for since the summer.

Thomas floated around from gift to gift...mostly everyone else's.

Here he is, opening his gift from Santa: The ORANGE tractor that he asked for. Santa must have some serious connections. Orange tractors are hard to find.

Sarah was so excited that Santa came in the first place.

The dollhouse kitchen set was exactly what she had been hoping for. So much joy!
