Tuesday morning we woke up and the kids opened presents from us as well as their gifts from Santa. Madison was the first up at 7:15, so we were able to sleep in some.
After opening presents we took a taxi to the airport. DFW had set up a kids play area right next to our gate - how convenient. That kept the kids occupied until we boarded the plane. Kerry and I took turns wrestling with Caden. The middle part of the flight was pretty rough because he just wouldn't sit still. But we managed to get him setup with his belt buckle (he loves buckles and zippers) and that kept him occupied for about 45 minutes. He finally fell asleep a few minutes prior to landing.
We had a large crew for Christmas dinner. The kids all sat together. Caden wasn't going to be left out and refused to sit with the adults, so he sat with the kids and did quite well.
Madison and Collin really enjoy the California weather. They are riding their bikes, and learning how to balance on a skateboard. The kids are already adjusted to the time change and sleeping well, so mommy and daddy are happy.
Collin really misses the workbench he got from Santa, so I am putting together a real workbench including some nuts, bolts, clamps, and a block of wood for nailing. Stay tuned for pictures.

It sounds like you are all having a great time in California. We are waiting for the pictures of the workset you made for Collin!
Looks like the blanket was a hit with Caden. Have fun. Love all the pictures!
