Randy was so excited to get the girls this train table. I must say, I never knew trains were so fun (we have 3 girls--trains haven't been a part of our lives 'till now).
Lucy is our little sweeper. She's alway pulling out the spare broom to help me in the kitchen-so Santa brought her one she can wield a little easier. (Can you see the yarn draped across the window? It was wrapped around a helicopter--part of the train set that crashed in the Christmas tree-- and draped around the room, leading upstairs to to the train table.)
I was surprised they wanted to open their stocking stuff first!
Doritos are such a treat at our house :)
This year we cut down our own tree (pictures to follow) and the girls were so excited to decorate it. They couldn't wait for me to get the lights on. They started ornamenting it with toys and necklaces and anything they could get their hands on. They were so proud of their work.
