Early Presents

The Christmas present anticipation got to someone.....

However, she did bring it to me just like this to let me know she was opening a present.  I tried to hide my smile.

Lance decided to let the kids open up the presents his company bought for them. They were pumped! 

 

 

Mara got an egg that was supposed to hatch in water.  So Lance decided to throw it into water that night.  She waited, and waited, and waited.  Of course he didn't read the directions right away, but after she got impatient he realized the directions said it would take "a few hours."  So, he took it out of the water, so it wouldn't hatch while she was sleeping.  I put it back into the water the following afternoon assuming we could all watch it break out of its shell after Lance got home from work.  Wrong.

The following morning it had finally cracked!

That chick took over 24 hours to finally make its appearance!  After all that waiting, she was scared to death of it when I took it out of the glass!  It did provide for some good entertainment.  We are very thankful to Lance's work for thinking of our kids this Christmas.
