We woke up to a white Christmas here in Blacksburg. The big storm thats going up the east coast started around here. I think we got around 4 inches total. Anyway, that was the least to the kids' interests. Camilo didn't really know what was going on but he did know that Amalia was going crazy so something was going on. Here are some highlights. We tried to get pics of the kids opening the presents but it wasn't easy to keep them still enough. So here you go
First things first was going through the stockings. Amalia left some cookies for Santa and some carrots for the reindeer. They seemed to like them.
Here are some window crayons and a game from Tio David. Hopefully the crayons are only used on windows and not on furniture.
Camilo doesn't even know where to start:
Here are Camilo's fork and spoon made to look like construction equipment. There is also a bulldozer to push things like peas onto the spoon. Makes dinner more fun! Thanks to the Koepkes!
Here is a great book from Grandparents Belden. Grandma was able to record herself reading it so now the kids can have her 'read' them a book whenever they want.
Here is one of two new airplanes that Camilo got. This one is from Grandparents Tom and Ana and the best part is making it roll so the passengers fall out.
And what could be more fun than a dump truck, thanks Grandma and Grandpa Belden!
and a car carrier truck from the Koepkes.
Amalia is going to love her magnifying glass next spring when she can use it to study bugs. For now its being used around the house. Thanks Tom and Ana.
And thanks to the Koepkes, Amalia has a bunch on new recipes to try.
And Camilo is already building towers with the blocks from Tio David. Even more fun is putting them in the dump truck and moving them around the house.
but first he had to get them out of the net they came in.
Overall a great Christmas. Even the weather was relatively mild and the kids were able to get outside and play in the snow!
Feliz navidad!
Camilo likes opening presents and tearing up the wrapping paper.
She can use the apron to make dog treats using this new dog treat baking kit.
The holidays are exhausting.
They can be exciting too!

Don't take my picture...
OK, I'll smile!
I like to build towers and make them balance.
