Opening the presents

In Japan Christmas day is not a public holiday so everyone in my family was working. We had planned a family dinner on the night of the 25th so we decided to just leave a present each from Santa under the tree.

Matthew got home in time to see the opening of the presents.

Oliver got a LEGO CITY tow truck he was wishing for:

    

Luca got a Japanese kiddy tablet so that he can learn some Japanese sounds and words:



Little Ashley got some pretty winter clothes she can wear over the holidays:



She was pretty good at ripping the wrapping paper off:





I was glad we only had one thing to open. We thought about bringing all the presents we got in Singapore to give to the kids but in the end decided not to. They were very happy playing with what they got instead of opening one after another without paying attention to what they have just got. And this way they have more things to open when they get back to Singapore.

It didn't take long for Oliver to put the tow truck together, he is getting pretty good at it. I know he has so much LEGO now but it occupies him so well we cannot help it.
