The Gawryk Girls: Merry Christmas II

What a wonderfully lazy week, checking out all of our new toys, and having fun on outings with daddy while he's on vacation. Our Christmas day was a lot of fun, and some more pictures of our evening with our friends will follow, but these couple were from the morning. The girls' "big" gifts were these- Jesse and Wheezy from Toy Story. They were the ones that had been asked for, and Santa had been told about. Opening any and all presents, however, seemed to be all we were interested in, and truthfully, they had to be reigned in to even check out what was under that packaging. Boy we worked on that! They did, in the end, have many treasured goodies, and through the week, I caught them trying them out. It was funny- the ones I thought would be big deal presents, turned out to really not be interesting at all (matching princess dresses and baby dolls), and one daddy almost threw out (or donated) since it had been in our closet so long, ended up being the biggest hit! (The bumblebee) The girls really had fun opening packages from family and friends throughout the weeks before and after- it's going to be a while before a trip to the mailbox isn't big excitement :) They had even had a mini Christmas with Grandma and Grandpap beforehand, which sort of revved them up! And then, to end the morning, we skyped with Nana and Uncle Ryan to have them follow the girls up to Aurie's room, via the laptop, and watch the girls open Nana's present- taller than they are! :)
