New presents to play with

Jacob and Gavin have been really into playing with their new toys!

Grammy started Jacob's GeoTrax collection two years ago and has been adding to it each year. This Christmas, the new addition was the High Flyin' Transportation System. The remote control airplane takes off, loops upside-down and flies down the spiral. You can use the remote to stop it at anytime, which they love.
This Tickle Me Elmo was a huge hit. He was completely hidden in the box when we bought him, so we had no idea what he actually would do. We couldn't believe how all out he went... we were cracking up! He doubles over in laughter, slaps his knee, falls onto his back and kicks his feet, and even gets back up all by himself. All while he is laughing... it's contagious!

Finally. A container to put all of our play dough in! The top is kind of like a desk to sculpt the play dough on.Gavin was Bob the Builder for Halloween, but thought he was Handy Manny. So Grandma Gayle bought him all the Handy Manny accessories.
Puzzles are always a hit in our family and Gavin was excited to put together his new ones.
Auntie Marlys got Jacob and Gavin a bug book and some bugs to inspect through a magnifying glass. How fitting since Uncle Andy is a science teacher!I really love this new Tag System by Leapfrog. Both Gavin and Jacob are reading their new books all day long. The only downside is that the pen will only hold five books at a time, so they have to put some books away for now. I guess the upside is when they get them out again, they'll be like brand-new!
Adam really wanted to get the boys these Hulk Smash hands. I was a little hesitant, but they have been really fun. The boys are loving having their own boxing tournaments with daddy and each other.
Casey got plenty of new toys to entertain him as well. ;)Santa got the boys Power Wheel quads on Christmas morning. Adam put them together and charged them up, while I decorated them with stickers. ;) The weather has been too rainy to use them, but I can't wait to see them ride around in the spring!
