Christmas

Christmas was nice and very exciting. The kids got up around 6:50 am and the opening of gifts commenced at 7am. The kids loved everything they opened including the 2 new blue bikes and the pink scooter. They were outside riding around the cul-de-sac by 9:30. Zachary has us amazed. He's been practicing, but his biking skills blew us away today. After holding the bike so he could get on and get started, the boy started riding. We took the bikes/scooter to Miami and let the kids show Grandma and Grandpa Brown and the rest of the family. Zachary rode even better than he had at our house. By the end of the visit, both boys had taken a lap or two around the neighborhood without stopping. Stopping appears to be Zachary's biggest difficulty right now, but it won't last long with his determination. We had a nice celebration in Miami and Ben was so thrilled to get his long awaited DS. All 3 kids got Zhu Zhu pets from Santa and they were a big hit. My niece and nephew loved them too. It is 10:12pm and Courtney is just now on the verge of sleep. It's been a long day.
