Christmas Catchup

So, obviously Christmas has come and gone without any bloggy notice.  Needless to say, with a newborn around, we were a little busy.  We had a lovely time anyway, and it was great to have family around!  This was the first year that we weren't able to get the whole clan together, but we did manage to have all the Deshazers here, which was great.  Not too many pictures were taken, but here are a few.

The tree, with presents in various places.

 We put most of the gifts up high out of reach.  It started out as a kid avoidance measure, but we thought it looked pretty cool as well.

 Logan enjoys the scooter Oma and Pappy got him.  Seriously, he loves this thing!  He rides it around the house chanting, "I can do it myself!"  So cute.

 The stockings are discovered...

 Myra plays with her new princess castle.

 Can you see Logan back there?  A big Mack and Lighning McQueen kept him busy for quite a while.

 This cool puzzle took two grownups with Engineering Degrees to put together, but it was totally worth it!  Can you see how giant it is?  Logan loves it.

 Logan and Alan bonded over the color changing cars.  This made a huge mess on the floor (the cars change color with hot or cold water) and is now a bath toy much beloved of both kids.

The addition to the train set was also a hit.  Logan and Alan are buddies!

 Logan asks to make houses often still.  Total highlight of the fun!

 Mitch got all architectural.
