McComb Family

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!! I had to keep Adam occupied for an hour or so until a decent time when the rest of us could get up to go down and check under the tree......

The kids were shocked by the aquarium Santa left for us. It was a little hard to see the fish as the tank was kind of fogged up -- must've still been cold from coming from the North Pole -- but it's beautiful.

Then the kids busted into the stockings.

Books arrived all the way from Australia -- thanks Ken and Helen!! They look great, and we can't wait to start reading them!

This was obviously the year for Adam to get remote-controlled vehicles. This is the first one he got, and he loves his "monster truck".

As you can tell from the picture, Briana was very excited to get a digital camera. Don't all bloggers need a camera to add pictures to their posts (just a heads up to expect some from her in the very near future)? She's definitely our little "techie".

Then the last presents were opened and you can see Briana's excitement mounting as she realizes they are helmets. The first thing she said to Adam was, "Now we have to look outside!" Obviously she's very aware that there is no need for helmets by themselves.

The plan was to have it by the front stairs, but it never made it out of the truck. Here they are "unwrapping" their new quad.

You could say she was a little excited!! Here's Brie all decked out and trying the quad for the first time.

Bret will be testing out his pilot skills with his new remote-controlled airplane.

And me? I got a new i-Phone which was a complete surprise. It's been fun to play around with some of the cool features it has, but I'm sure I have tons still to learn.

Once our festivities died down, we headed to Dennis' for Christmas with the McCombs. Here are the kiddos in front of the tree.

Then they made a gingerbread house. Briana had fun with the icing and Adam placed his little boy sliding down the side of the roof (would you expect anything else!?).

And finally......all of the family.
