Stansell Family Christmas...

This year was a crazy Christmas for several reasons but the kids didn't seem to mind. You know with kids it's all about the gifts and getting to open them. Although I think we need a new system...the little kids don't get the concept. I say from now on, kids 2 and under just get to tear into their gifts, then we can cycle through the older grand kids, and then the adults...

Ok, so apparently I have my kids mixed up. Tenley seems to really enjoy getting clothes, and Syd is the one that isn't impressed with getting clothes...dually noted, I'll remember next year.

I think she liked tearing off the Christmas paper more than she actually liked getting gifts. She's young...she'll learn.

Miles was pretty impressed with his Woody and Buzz pjs. He even wore his Woody ones that night.

See...she's a pro at taking the wrapping off, she double fists it!!

Eagerly waiting for Momma to get the toy together...

Syd's taking Cookie Monster for a ride in her new stroller...

She said, "I have been wanting one of these ALL year"...she is a mess. But she does appreciate her gifts!!

MOTORCYCLES!!!!

Trying on her little Cow hat...too cute!

The next morning...Me: Miles what was your favorite toy. Miles: I don't want to say. Me: Why, are you afraid you are going to hurt some one's feelings? Miles: I'll whisper it in your ear. Me: Ok. Miles:(whispering) My truck, trailer, horses, and motorcycle.
So stinkin sweet...I think he thought it was wrong to like one toy more than the others. I assure you, he plays with ALL his toys. There is just something about trucks and trailers and catch his attention.

The kids, well...they have so many new toys now it's ridiculous, but we wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so glad everything worked out and our Stansell clan was all able to be together, it just wouldn't be the same any other way.
