Christmas With GiGi and PaPaw

We did our Christmas with GiGi and PaPaw the weekend before Christmas.  The boys always enjoy going to their house in Tennessee and seeing them.

Bennett got his Pottery Barn chair.  He loves Trenton's so we know he will be excited about having his own now.

Trenton says, "Think" every time a commercial comes on with a toy he wants.  It started when we had a talk with him constantly saying, "I want that!"  We told him it was ok to think it, but he really shouldn't say that out loud everytime a toy is shown on TV.  It makes him sound greedy, and we don't want to be greedy.  Well, before Kevin and I knew it, we'd hear shouts of "Think"....."Think".....each time it was a toy commercial.  It fixed the sound of "I want that!" but we don't believe he fully grasped the point of our conversation.  Oh well!  So, any of these imaginex toys always received a "Think."   There is no doubt he loves the Bat Cave!

Baths are about an hour at our house.  They love them.  Here's a splash track for hot wheel cars.  He loved looking at the picture on the box and couldn't wait to test it out!

 Trenton was eager to help his little brother unwrap his presents.  Bennett is the age of not really minding.  It worked out well this year.

 After the present was unwrapped, Bennett would take off with it.  A Pulling suitcase for him was right up his alley!  He likes to play with Trenton's. 

 GiGi and PaPaw are famous for treasure hunts for the last present.  They travel around the house to the different clues.

 Which lead to the garage.  Their last toy was there.  Power Wheel 4x4s!!!!

 Trenton was all about it!  He hopped right on.  Bennett, well, he clearly shook his head no to the power wheel, grabbed the mower (his comfort zone) and strolled down the driveway behind Trenton.

 It didn't take long before he was ready to test it out.  Looks like he likes it!

 Two excited boys with their power wheels.  Kevin and I laugh because we both wanted power wheels so badly as a kids but neither of us got them.  We are living vicariously through our boys!

 Bennett thinks he has to put his feet down on the ground.  He is so used to pushing the vehicles with his feet.

 Trenton looked determined as he learned it traveled great across the grass.

 Since we didn't bring their helmets, Kevin stayed right new Trenton to make sure he was comfortable with it.  The grass we learned was the safest place to test it out before the rains rolled in.

 Trenton got the brilliant idea to get Bennett's gas pump from early in the opening to fill up his quad.

 Of course, Bennett was right behind him filling up his next.

 He had the best time!

 And GiGi and PaPaw's enormous yard was the perfect spot to ride!

 Bennett finally gets the hang of it with Daddy's assistance.
