First part is they both got a shopping cart! which they love

And then the big surprise! the tv unti swithced into a kitchen. Dad and I transformed it!

The boys got that and play food from us for Christmas. so between the jonny's coupons and handy transformation not much money was spent. and the boys loved it all!

Lenon finally joined the party .

 His turn to open gifts! from Uncle Jay and Aunt Jodie

 Then after relaxing for a bit we packed up and hit the road to the camp. to have the steeves family supper and gift opening. We ate the best meat pie ever!
