This year Arlan and I were so excited to give the kids their outside play toys for Christmas...a shiny, pink motor scooter and a slammin', fast dirt bike.
Last year Trey snuck downstairs in the wee hours of the morning and discovered his Christmas gift with none of us around. I was so distraught, to say the least, so this year we had a better idea!
Fence them in!!
Can you guess who was up early and excited for Christmas to begin and who was rudely interrupted from a deep sleep.
They tore into their gifts with the speed of lightning!
And even ventured out into the cold to try out their new gifts
But the gift that they were completely in awe over and played with first and the longest was the gifts the they got each other. I took them to "Santa's workshop" several weeks ago and let them loose to pick out any gift they wanted to for the other sibling. They were so excited to give each other their gifts it was difficult to hold it a secret that long.
Both of these gifts were about a $1 but the gift came from the heart with a lot of thought about what the other would like and they LOVED these things!!
Breanne got Trey those capsules loaded with sponge figures! BUGS!
Trey got Breanne fake fingernails and decorating stickers!!I heard them each telling the other 'thank you' more then once in the course of the day for the awesome gifts they received!!
Now don't get me wrong they loved their big gifts but I'm convinced the small thoughtful gifts spoke to their hearts about love for each other!
We had a wonderful Christmas together, relaxing and playing!! The best times ever!
