Extended Christmas 2013

Pop and Mimi woke very early on Thursday morning in order to drive down and join us for MORE Christmas fun.  They couldn't get here fast enough and the kids wasted no time overwhelming them with pleas to play with them and their new toys.

After one of Patti's delicious homemade soups to warm everyone up, we dug into Pop and Mimi's gifts. They showered the kids with gifts (and us too), and the kids felt another day of family and love. Will got all sorts of trucks and Stella and Maggie got lots of Doc McStuffins.  Between Grandma, Pop and Mimi, we think the girls now have every Doc toy made so far, which is good because Stella thinks she IS Doc McStuffins at this point.




Just as we finished opening everything, presents from cousins arrived in the mail, and we were back to opening and squealing again.

When the dust finally settled, we enjoyed a fun few days of playing with new toys.  Maggie and Stella have made every Doc puzzle twice (or more), sang every Doc song, and played with every one of the 50 dollhouse pieces.  Will couldn't wait to customize his monster trucks with paint and stickers and then put on a monster truck show for us.


And Will is VERY proud of his Legos.  He is so patient and concise when making them and he is so proud of himself when he's done with one.  Plus, it's great for Dad and Will time.
