Santa stopped at our house a day early this year, because the Coast Guard has the tradition of Brett working on Christmas Day.
The most exciting thing in those socks was kid-proof knives! They are vauguely dog shaped, with an eye printed in the right spot. The boys were VERY excited to help cut the necks of their Christmas bananas, and they love to get slices of cheese to mangle to pieces or to cut thier sandwiches into tiny bits. With absolutely NO chance to cut themselves (I've tried!)
Shane got a funky little speller board like the one he works with at Speech class.
And SOMEone (not us) got Shane a remote control Tundra (just like Daddy's) who of course had to demonstrate. :D 
Then Shane finally got his turn.
The LAST present of the year was a big ol' train set!
That immediately had to be set up in one of the perscribed configurations- according to the "map" provided.
Some of you will remember me teasing Brett about how long it took for him to set it up that first day- I eat my words!
There are 4 track plans provided, all equally complex in design. But the one that was chosen for Christmas construction (and that Shane has decided is his favorite) is thoroughly designed WRONG. I found this out as the main track builder since Christmas, and have apologized to Brett. It was a design flaw, not a builder flaw.
Austin got another cool knife-related gift that he adores.

And that was our Christmas...
Wishing all the very best of the Christmas season and a Happy New Year!
