This year, we made a game of Dawson's birthday present-opening. I divided all of his presents into 4 categories, then put them into 4 big boxes (well, 1 was in a big bag). Each box had an envelope attached, and inside each envelop was a puzzle that he had to solve (which revealed the category of gifts inside) before he could open the presents inside. Fun times!
 |
| His first box was full of books! I love that look as he unwrapped the big box to reveal lots of other smaller wrapped presents. |
 |
| The newest Geronimo Stilton graphic novel. |
 |
| A trivia book, always interesting. |
 |
| More Geronimo Stilton books. (He also got some classics, a Star Wars book, a Sports Illustrated trivia book and subscription to Sports Illustrated Kids from Granny, and Harry Potter books from Nanny.) |
 |
| On to the next big box! |
 |
| Full of video game related gifts. |
 |
| A Skylanders video game, a new series he is particularly fond of this year. |
 |
| Thank you, Aunt Julie, for something to store and organize all those Skylanders characters! |
 |
| More Skylanders. |
 |
| And a big hug for Brady for his birthday presents. |
 |
| Breakfast break - cinnamon muffins and strawberries. |
 |
| Reading his next puzzle to solve. This one was "games." |
 |
| The fun game, Pay Day. (He also got Scrabble and Thinkfun Math Dice.) |
 |
| Reading the last and final puzzle challenge. |
 |
| This big bag contained his "outdoor toys." |
 |
| Tetherball, a super fun classic! |
 |
| A Razor Ripstik skateboard. (He also got knee/elbow pads and a volleyball in his outdoor toys sack.) |
