Christmas with Tyler and Beth

Before Tyler and Beth headed out of town for the holidays, they came to have a little Christmas with our family. In my family, we exchange names between the siblings, and Tyler had my name. Though instead of just buying one thing for the family, they spoiled us. Gavin and Xander got all kinds of balls. Xander didn't get opening the presents, but he loved the contents! Gavin is a tornado and half now... he's unwrapping down to an art! He loved it almost as much as finding what was inside. Then Ben opened the gift for us... though soon it was Gavin opening it! Look closely at the last picture of Gavin... I love the look of joy on his face when he uncovered Iron Man. Too bad he won't be watching that movie any time soon. ;)

Then Melissa also sent up a little surprise from Macey and Henry for the boys. Aren't these little octopi so cute! If I'm right, my friend and old roommate Rachel made them. She did an amazing job. The boys love them!

And the other thing that's almost as good as the Christmas present in the box... The BOX itself!

Thanks for a great start to our Christmas!
