Because we knew the days leading up to Christmas were going to be crazy, we didn’t try to cram in opening presents with Nana. She was going to be with us for several days so we just let the time dictate itself for us and went with it. By the time we got around to opening presents with her, the boys were ready for more fun and they got excited about the next round of gifts.
Chase got the items he requested on his hand-written note
(that Mommy scanned to Nana with some edits and explanations) and the triplets
received what they (aka Mommy) asked for as well.
Flying Lightning McQueen, McQueen guitar and Wii Dance game –
which is a great time for all of us – were given to Chase while the
triplets got an indoor slide with a basketball goal, soccer goal and football
hole along with some other goodies. With the cold weather approaching I knew I needed something to allow them
to play ball inside and climb without driving me nuts or destroying my house (4
boys, remember?!) so this was a hit and makes all of us happy – even Mommy!

| It may have been a bad idea to let him have a musical instrument in the middle of the winter when we are trapped inside! |
 |
| At my request, Nana got all the boys dress-up outfits. We now have a construction worker, doctor, police man and fireman complete with accessories! |
 |
| Nana added to the band by getting 'music in a box' and an Elmo guitar for the triplets. Now we can play music while others climb and slide as seen here! |
But! We still weren’t done, for you see the next day would see
Nana’s departure followed by the arrival of Joe and Christine from Chicago.
This is why we did the holiday in stages. Stay tuned….and I promise to give
you all the details about the Mickey items very soon!
