Pose for me, Riley...
Here's our tiny Christmas elf!
Noelle really liked massaging Granddad's head.
And both girls liked snuggling with Nana!
But the biggest winners of the day were the splash art boards! The girls completely forgot about their other unopened presents while they played with these. And they're no mess. Yes, please.
Nana, Granddad and Brooksy-boy
The girls (and Brooks) got this huge piano, too. Why they make the default volume settings for noisy toys on extra-super loud is beyond me... but besides that, this toy is awesome!
Finally, after days of waiting, we got to make the Wuggle Pets...
It was pretty fun!
Meanwhile, Brooks was his usual charming self.
Yesterday, the grandparents watched the little guy while Mike and I went to Monkey Bizness with the girls. I snapped this cute shot before leaving.
Remember the recordable book Great-Aunt Nancy gave the kids? It's a winner!
Monkey Bizness was a BLAST!!! The girls loved it.
It was absolutely perfect for Riley, who was dancing with joy. She's gained so much confidence at preschool that she now will tear around a place like this, going down slides, playing in the bouncy house, and climbing all over.
Noelle kept gravitating back toward tower-building.
...but she also liked the little treehouse.
Riley was, literally, throwing herself down slides. I'm so proud of her. If you had met her four months ago, you would NEVER believe she was the same kid.
We even took a look at the (trashed) art room.
But then it was back to sliding and running and jumping.
Even though Riley is now a champion slider, she let Daddy join her, too.
And Noelle was a fan of the slides, too... as long as she had a lap seat.
Monkey Bizness, you were a delightful surprise. We'll be coming back!
And a final "Merry Christmas" to everyone!!
