a new car!!

on the 27th we headed home from tn, because we had heard that santa had made a stop at our house. when we walked in, this is what we found...

needless to say, it was a pretty big hit!!

for the rest of the day, bauer refused to leave the drivers seat. seriously. no joke.

vivian was excited about haha's new outfit, too.

and then, as any good sister would, she kindly helped bauer with his stocking...since he still refused to get out of the car (even to look at any of his other gifts).

we finally gave in, put on out warm coats, and headed outside for an inaugural drive.

and folks, that is all she wrote. we hope everyone had a very safe and merry christmas!!
