Pop tickling TJ- one of TJ's favorite activities :-)
Alli checking out the presents before we ripped into them...
Then we headed home Christmas Eve, so the kids could get to bed, Santa Claus could come over night, and we could wake up at home on Christmas morning. It was nice to be able to sleep in a little, get up slowly and eat some cinnamon rolls before we started unwrapping gifts. We enjoyed that 'cause I'm sure that next year, Alli will insist on going straight to the tree first thing in the morning to see what Santa brought.
I think Alli really enjoyed the whole thing. She loved almost all of her presents, especially her babydoll and stroller. But she was less than thrilled with the remote control truck daddy insisted she have. While she is probably much too young for this toy, I actually thought that she would like it too, but how wrong we were. As soon as daddy pulled it out of the box and made it go, Alli said "NO, PUT IT UP, PUT IT UP!" Every time we got it out she would run after it, grab it and bring it to us insisting we put it up. It was quite hilarious. Well, I guess daddy and I can have fun with it until she gets used to it. A few days later she is warming up to it a little, but only if she has the controller.
TJ had no clue what was going on and it was just another day for him. As a matter of fact he was ready for a nap long before we were finished unwrapping gifts, but we kept him up till we were just about done and then we let him crash for a long nap. We used this time to let Alli try out her new Monarch butterfly kite in the backyard. That was fun except that the strong winds kept making the butterfly dive and crash straight into the ground. Can't wait till the weather is just right and we can show her how to do it right.
TJ enjoying his rattle and one of the dinosaurs from his "big bucket of dinosaurs" (another gift that daddy insisted on- he was just waiting for a little boy to give him an excuse to get some dinosaurs). Who knows how long it will be before TJ actually enjoys them.
Alli offering her baby a bottle. Later that day, Alli leaned down to her baby in the stroller, sniffed her crotch and said "eeeuuu." Cracked me up.
Alli decided TJ needed a bow.

GO SPURS GO!!!! She's got to have her team gear too.
