Birthdays...Round II

Jacob opening...
A new set of Kid K'nex!! My favorite new toy - he got some for his birthday, and both boys could play for HOURS building things with them. (He's David's son - will absolutely be in LOVE with something, but his face looks like this!)
...studying the back of the box to see what they can build.
The boys were hard at work immediately building a squid and a walrus!


Here's Josiah opening....
...and as you can see, he is MY son! My very expressive boy!! He's saying "Little Legos - just what I LOVE! How did Gramps know?"
...and this is Josiah opening his Bumblebee transformer toy....which he's sleeping with tonight...
Josiah explaining to me who Bumblebee is and why he's a good guy - an autobot, not a decepticon...or something like that...

This picture is for you, Rita...See Callie admiring the tag you put on the gift??? I LOVE it!
Callie opening her "Open NOW" present - the boys looked at the box and said, "I bet it's some cute dresses for her...she loves cute dresses."
Playing with the ribbon...
Here's what was in the "Open Now" box - a BEAUTIFUL winter coat, and...
...the cutest little Christmas dress!! Came with ruffly socks and a headband too!!! Adorable! Now I know why it said "Open Now!"


As we were playing in the yard this afternoon, our mailman brought us a package!! It was the Christmas presents from my Dad & Rita! The boys were so excited that the package truck stopped at our house!! After dinner, they got to open it up and put the presents under the tree, and were they ever excited to discover their birthday presents in there too!!! So after dinner, we had Round 2 of the boys' birthdays!!! Josiah asked if it meant that they were 6 and 4 now - I said NO!! It was very exciting - and Callie had a present marked "Open Now"...you can see why from the pictures!!! Thanks Dad and Rita - the kids LOVED everything! You ALWAYS do a great job!!!

How exciting to actually have presents to open right now. All the wrapped ones are torture. I love how the boys have different expressions when opening gifts. It is neat to already see personality traits that resemble their parents.

Wow, this is 'present season' for them, bdays & Christmas! They won't know what to do when January & February roll around!

That is the cutest little coat ever! Callie is just so cute!! I can't believe you have wrapped presents under your tree. They wouldn't last long in my house. Even the ornaments have been totally rearranged several times on the bottom half of the tree (despite the fact that we have a no touch rule) but I never can catch the sneaky little one doing it.

Who doesn't love birthday after their birthday!! And how cute that they thought they would now get to be 6 and 4! I know you were thinking--don't rush it.
