some Christmas Eve pix

The boys waited all day for Dad to get home. We weren't sure he'd be home for Christmas at all, but he made it and we were all thrilled.


Let the gift opening begin. Andy so wanted the two lego bionicle sets he opened.


And this is how Andy spent the next several hours. Heaven in his room for him. Since then, the Bionicle from that kit has evolved into a project of truly epic proportions. I'll try to get a new picture of it to post.
The one thing Dan wanted most was a bb rifle. He was so excited to open it.

Gary and Dan spent quite a lot of time, reading the instructions, figuring out how to load the rifle. A few days later Dan had some training and fired the rifle. I have pix of that day for another post.
