Our holiday season was grand. The boys got their Christmas present early--a Kangaroo Climber gym by Step 2. They loved it from the first, and they run in and out of the playhouse and try to climb the slide. We love to watch two boys try to climb it at once--the first climber will lose his balance and slide down, wiping out his brother as well. Heehee!
Here are some pictures of the mayhem.
Jacen and Alex having fun...
Jacen thinks he broke something on the gym already (note the hammer)...
Ty pushing his ride-on car sideways (with wrench in hand--is he OUR child?).

Jacen looks like he wants another lap...

On Christmas Eve, we headed to Carlisle, PA to spend the holiday with Grandpa and Grandma Madeira. Aunts and Uncles poured in as well, and we had a wonderful time!
