Better Late Than....

We received a BIG box from Uncle Brad yesterday - full of holiday gifts! The kids couldn't wait to open them. We're kinda glad Uncle Brad is so busy and doesn't have time to ship the gifts around the holidays. It's so much fun to open gifts in February - always a fun surprise! Here is a photo montage of the gift opening:

The kids waiting eagerly for daddy to cut open the box

Daniel is ready to assist

The kids helping Riley open his gift (which turned out to be a DVD of the Thanksgiving photos). Since Riley wasn't on the trip with us, we assume Uncle Brad made him a DVD to see what he missed.

Allison's turn...A princess lamp! And the shade rotates when it's on. How cool! Oh how well Uncle Brad knows his niece...

And here it is all set up in her room

Another gift for Allison...keep the princess coming!!! (there's that goofy face again)

We also received some nicely framed pictures from our trip to New Orleans in November but the biggest gift of all was for little Daniel. Now I wish I had the video running when we took it out of the box because he was so excited when we pulled it out...

A huge bear!!! Daniel fell on top of it and gave it a big hug. It was simply adorable. This morning, I moved it up to his room and took some pictures of him (and Allison) bonding with the bear.

Almost as exciting as opening the gifts, was jumping on the bubble wrap that came in the box. Although, Daniel wanted nothing to do with it (as you can see what he does with his legs when Jeff tries to put him on the bubble wrap), go figure...

Thank you Uncle Brad for all the fabulous gifts!
