Christmas in Dallas

We took very few presents with us to Florida, and so, had quite a few to open when we returned. But we were all very, very tired - and so it took us a few days to get around to opening gifts.
Luis doing a little "ornament management" before we got started with the present opening.

Alejo was happy to watch from the exersaucer.

JuanFe and RC gave Luis this very cool Gears toy. Luis immediately started playing with it, and loved the way the pieces fit and work together.

One could make the argument that the bag that the Gears came in was just as fun, if not more so!

Luis made this leaf print at the Science School. It is even more beautiful in person than the photo conveys. It will definitely get framed and hung up! I'm very surprised that Luis managed to keep the contents a secret for more than two weeks!
Diego's siblings all give really amazing gifts. This smile for the Playdoh Star Wars set is genuine!
I got these golf clubs from a family in my neighborhood parents group. Diego and I both thought Luis would love them, but he had a pretty tepid reaction. Hopefully when he has the opportunity to play with them on the course (not in the house!), he will warm up to them.
Alejo got some great new bath toys from Liz and Jules. He prefers to think of them as chew toys...
The Star Wars Playdoh set from Liz and Jules was a big hit. Diego enjoyed playing with it and with Luis, as it brought back lots of memories of his own Christmases, getting Star Wars toys.

I'm glad the playdoh star wars kit was a hit! I also remembered playing with a couple of star wars play doh molds when we were growing up... can't wait to try them out :)
