Few more important Christmas stories

When we arrived back to ND, the boys Immediately noticed that Santa left them some shiny tricycles under the tree!  They were overjoyed and tried to take a spin around the house.  This is where Amy, the not-so-fun mom, took them away and told them to wait for a warmer day.  We have been out since and they love them!

We also had a wonderful surprise when we arrived home.  Kasey's birth mother, Mallory, sent presents for the boys.  A birthday gift for Kasey and a Christmas present for each boy and home-made bath salts!  My favorite part is that she inscribed a note to the boys in each of the books.  Kasey's books were especially cool as they were connections to her.  Mallory's favorite book as a child was "Go Dogs, Go".  She made the comment that her Dad had it memorized as she had him read it so many times.  This makes me laugh as I think about bedtime last night.  Karsten did Not want me to read the book.  Instead, he read it to me and got 90% of the words Perfect just based on the pictures.  Kasey also got 'Where the Sidewalk Ends'; which is Mommy's favorite book as a child.  In fact, she still has it in her bookshelf!

Another fun surprise for the boys were presents from Karsten's Godmother, Lisa.  She got a personalized book for Karsten and a place mat for each boy.  The book is really cool.  It is a Speed Racer book and the three racers are Karsten, Kasey and Lisa.  There is even a cool picture of Karsten in the book.  It is a favorite of both boys for bed time stories, but Kasey does ask if next time he can win the race.
