Christmas afternoon we headed to the ranch to have Christmas with Ganny, Pa, my brother & his family and my sister and her family. We lucked out and had beautiful weather! This was a blessing because Granny surprised all the kids with an assortment of ride on toys that will stay at the ranch for them to use when they come to visit.
Adam hopped right on a big plastic 4 wheeler and took off like he was 16. The serious look on his face made me a bit uneasy! I kept trying to keep him in low gear but he insisted on "going wheeely fast". Next time I'll bring our bike helmets out. Even though these are all plastic battery operated toys, they sure look a lot like the real thing. Andrew was a bit overwhelmed by so many screeching vehicles whirling around that he spent most of the time in my arms or riding in the wagon.
Us kids got my dad and Wii and Beatles Rock Band so we all had a fun time playing the drums, guitar and singing. Adam especially took to the microphone, I couldn't get him to put it down. He takes everything so seriously, it's a hoot. Even Granny got in on the Wii action.

I told them to cover their eyes, notice how Andrew covered his mouth, LOL!
