Merry Christmas!
We had a really nice, quiet Christmas. Gage and Trei were really excited about their new ipod 8gb touchs. Tim and I should have stop buying presents for Ryker and Riley after the miniature cars. They opened up their cars first and didn't seem to interested in anything else after that point. Ryker and Riley enjoyed opening presents this year. Ryker actually said "wow" to one of them.

We love Santa!

We took all the boys to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. As soon as Tim set Ryker and Riley down on Santa's lap, they screamed. Gage and Trei had to rush over to make them stop screaming. As you can tell Ryker was still not satisfied.

All the boys enjoyed the moving toys.

Dry storage

Since I have been couponing, I have significantly increased our dry storage. Tim and Trei helped me organize our dry storage area about a month ago. This doesn't include the 30 packages of wipes I got from Target for $.55, the 50+ toddler disposable wipes I got for FREE, and the 20 packages of Rayovac batteries I got for FREE!

New present for the Hansen's

We bought Ryker and Riley their 1st potty. All through the store Riley would say potty. Ryker and Riley were so excited to help Gage, Trei and Sloan put their toilet together. Riley was ready to strip down and sit on the potty. We aren't pushing to get them potty trained, but if they are interested we will encourage.
