Christmas - Part 5

On Boxing Day we went to my parents house for the day.   We had a great day celebrating with family. 

The boys really wanted book shelves and wall shelves for their room.  Opa was able to make some wonderful ones for them.

Christmas - Part 4

In the afternoon of Christmas Day we had Anton's family over for a Christmas meal.  

Christmas - Part 3

Christmas morning we were woken up at six in the morning.  Maddox and Ajay slept on the floor in their bedroom so it was more uncomfortable and they would wake up sooner.

I thought it was nice that the boys let Amara open all of her presents first.

Ajay and Maddox got nerf style guns that they had a lot of fun playing with.

Amara loved her tent and has spent a lot of time in it already.  

Family zoo day

We decided to have a family zoo day today because we have been having some "warm" winter weather.  That and the zoo is offering free admission for children under 12, and it was also $10 Tuesday.

The camels were very interesting at this time of year.  They were all walking around rather than sleeping which is how we usually see them in summer.

Amara's favorite animal.  She didn't want to leave them.  This guy was very playful. He jumped on and fell off the branch next to him.

This is what happens when the 2 year old drives.

The polar bears were having a great time in the water today.

Christmas - Part Two

We went to another family gathering this afternoon.  The kids had a great time playing with their second cousins.

Neal and Amber

Amara really enjoyed her second cousin Amber.
