We opened presents in Iowa, the evening of 12/26. And it was fun - with 15 adults and 2 children - there was a lot going on. Adley could read the To: tags and opened her own presents while Mommy did her best to determine the From: portion of the tags. Cana didn't bother with tags and despite Auntie Anna's best efforts at playing elf, Cana opened presents as she found them. A couple of times we had to piece wrapping paper back together to find out who the intended recipient was. Fun times!
The girls hard at work. These pictures hardly do the chaos justice. Also, the photos suggest that there were pauses in the action. Note to reader - this was not the case.
Cana opening presents on the move. Not bothering to check the To/From tags, of course.
A chisel set from Uncle Deed
Uncle Drew's present from Jared - a screwdriver in a wooden box screwed shut. It took him almost half an hour to get that one open.
A table and chairs set from Uncle Drew - or "Dr. Drew."
Stepstools handmade by Grandpa Al and personalized to boot.
And yes, even Cana can tell which one is hers without knowing how to read.
A basket of food to cook in her play kitchen at home.
Still waiting to see what's inside the handmade crate.
At least he found a screwdriver to open it.
