Best gift EVER!

We had wanted to get more wooden tracks for Aidan's Thomas the Train set, but we couldn't find them this year.  I stumbled across a water play set, Patrick agreed it was brilliant, and Aidan ended up loving it!  he spent about 2 hours with it outside before he moved on to playing with his Iron Man figures Patrick picked up in the States.

You know what he liked almost as much as the boat set?  Any of Emma's gifts.

I don't have a lot of pictures of Aidan, he wasn't in the mood.

Pointing out what he likes

Can't wait to open gifts

Someone has inherited Erin's can't-wait-for-Christmas genes. He tried to be sly about it but Patrick caught him.

Don't bake with hyper kids

Aidan really likes the way some ingredients puff out when you blow on them.  It was funny when he did it with cinnamon a while back.  Cinnamon hangs in the air, and then he walked through it.  Lots of coughing and watery eyes but he stopped blowing into the mixing bowl.  Apparently he was feeling brave last night.  Flour was everywhere.  I thought I'd cleaned everything up and then found this the next morning.
