Longest day ever for kids

The boys have been wanting to open presents for days now so I knew I had to be prepared this morning. I printed off a Christmas codeword puzzle for Ted and a couple coloring sheets. We also had a gingerbread train kit that I had bought. The gingerbread train wasn't too bad to put together. The biggest challenge was keeping Nate off the table when my hands were busy putting the train together. Nate just wanted to help and he actually did better than I expected when it was time to put the candy on. He put the pieces on one at a time and was gentle with it. The train worked well for us to keep the kids busy before we went to lunch and then church.
