Exchangeable

Before the sun had a chance to rise and Vanessa and Zane could finish their milk, we were opening presents. :)

Once again, there was a concern that Santa may have forgotten to give Vanessa her most coveted gift. :) With a little reminding that Santa sometimes shares ideas with others that gift her, her graciousness for what she had just received oozed.She loved everything. Obviously her new princess dress and Spider-Man bouncy ball were early morning favorites.

Zane was pretty excited to play with his new toys. The things he liked most at home were his rain stick and jack-in-the-box. 

Our family gift this year is a train set. It'll be a fun project and tradition to continue. It whistles, blows smoke, and rings a bell. Vanessa can watch it go around and around. For now Zane wants to grab it.

After a little rest we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's. They enjoyed the surprises and extra indulgences.

 

Time with family is not exchangeable.
