{Christmas in Minnesota}

The day after we got back from Disney World we headed out on our 12 hour drive to Minnesota. Here is what we did while we were there...

Mr. and Mrs. Clause came to the house. The boys loved it. All three boys got matching Toy Story pajamas from them. Jaydon was in bed by this point.


We went sledding one night out in the dark when it was snowing. It was lots of fun! The boys LOVED it! Gavin especially!

Here are just a few of their favorite presents. Gavin got a camera and LOVES LOVES playing with it. You can take a picture and distort the faces. You can put hats and glasses on the people in the pics. You can play games on it. You can use it as a video camera. He walks around recording everyone and acts like a pro..."ok, here is Tanner playing his game. Hi tanner! Here is jaydon all cute!" It is hilarious. Then one night he saw the dogs laying right beside a stuffed reindeer and all of a sudden Gavin says "Ohhhhh, that will make a cute picture!" He has been around mommy a lot obviously.
They both got their own remote control tonka car. They flip over from back to front and front to back. They love em.


They also got their Hulk Hands. They love using these on each other.


And of course Tanner got his Leapster. After a whole year of watching his big brother play on his Nintendo DS he was READY for his own game to play...so he was excited to get this!

Gavin's Birthday!!! 5 years old!!! Woah!He got a Junior Yahtzee game and pacman for his DS. He also got these cool magnetix toy structures...Sorry, i am not sure what you call them, BUT he LOVES em. He got those from his Grandma Jenks. Both of them have been playing with those a lot.

Here is Gavin doing his B-boy dancing. We had dance parties every single night. He always asked for a dance party. So we would do it. It was so much fun.



And, of course, bathtime!


We had lots of fun in Minnesota! Thanks so much mom and dad for the good time!
So here is a video clip from Gavin's first attempt at using a camcorder. It was so funny to hear him talking as he took us on a short tour of the house. Listen for how many times he says video camera, can you tell he's excited to have a video camera feature on his new camera.
