Christmas 2011

This year the kids understood more about Christmas. It started off when I reprogrammed Emma and Dylan’s Leapfrog toy dog Scout to play three Christmas songs. He randomly selects which songs he plays when you press on his paw. Emma skipped passed all the normal songs and only had him play “Chrismas Songs”.

The kids didn’t quite get how the gifts work. We took them along to the toy shop to help select their own gifts. Dylan fell in love with his digger then. So when we came home after shopping, they had their afternoon nap and then demanded that they want their toys now. There were still 4 days left till Christmas Eve so needless to say lots of explaining was required. When we got to Christmas Eve it was as though they had made piece with the fact that their toys where under the Christmas tree. That was until we started opening them. We all had a great time and the kids really enjoyed their presents.

On boxing day the Dylan decided out of the blue that he wanted to play piano and Emma joined him for an impromptu recital. Then Emma continued to play with the organ settings. See the videos below:
