Christmas came early

Well it was supposed to be delivered between noon & four. And I think Cody wore a strip out of the carpet where he was pacing back and forth for four hours. Finally, it came at about 4:15.

So he is busily working to set it up and fighting off a "can I try it?" repeating Finn. I tried to explain to Finn that all those presents under the tree were his and he would be able to play with them soon and not even have to share them if he didn't want. And that this was daddy's Christmas present. So he got that, and that worked, for a few minutes...

Look at this cutie. How could you get mad at that face?? (let me count the ways)This little girl is moments from walking, and has taken a tentative step here and there. It won't be long now!This is Finn's favorite thing at the moment. A Christmas train from Grandma & Grandpa to go around (and around... and around...) the tree.

Here also are some pictures of the basement. Still a work in progress, but fitting with the title of this blog so I thought I'd put them in. Please disregard the mess. I said it's a work in progress.
