Christmas with a toddler

Freeze the crazy Labrador dog is 1.5 now and in the insane toddler phase. This made Christmas very tricky. The lights, the presents, the ornaments, the food! At times it was all too much.

Here is our Christmas tree. It is there under those blankets. That was the only way to stop Freeze taking ornaments and gifts.


Before presents come sheep! The kids are caring for the neighbors sheep over Christmas again this year. They thought it was good fun to go care or the sheep in pajamas on Christmas day!


Freeze opens the first of many gifts, this one was actually for him.


The Zhu Zhu is HERE. Hayley was happy as can be and even did a double take after opening this gift. This was the first thing she asked for and the hardest to get.

Comfy blankets! My kids are strange they love getting new blankets. Tristan happy dances with his.

Colin hugs his blanket.

Freeze is tired after the long day.

I didn't get many photos, Christmas seems to go so quick. The kids got a LONG awaited x-box 360 which almost made Trevor smile. Trevor wouldn't participate in Christmas for most of the morning but did open a couple things when I convinced him he would like at least one of the gifts. The kids all got marshmallow guns and they seem to really enjoy those. Blankets for all, legos, a few board games, some arts and crafts things, Lego Indiana Jones 2 for Wii, an MP3 player and Idog for Hayley since the X-box was more for the boys and the much anticipated Wii Fit Plus for all the family (it's fun!). Dog treats, cat treats, Ferret treats, hamster,gerbil,degu,bunny, guinea pigs, fish, turtle and frog gifts (mini plastic lily pad for the frogs). A big dinner and then the new Harry Potter DVD for evening. I think the day was a success.
