overseas gifts!

Clarence's brother, Herman is overseas in Germany with his newlywed bride, Leah.

We recently received a Christmas package from them, filled with SUPER fun and unique gifts!

It was the first set of presents we got to open, so OF COURSE the kids were busting at the seams to get them open!

Here's Cooper before opening.

He got a cool robot!!

Within 5 minutes, it had fallen off of the couch and BROKE! OHHHHHH that drama!! Cooper started crying, to the point that we thought there was going to be some throwing up. However, after several tactics to get him to calm down, Clarence set in to do some investigating on the robot. Well,... in fact, all that happened, was that the battery was jiggled out. So,... it wasn't broken after all. The new rule is: No Robots on the Couch!

Lexi waited patiently her turn!

She got a VERY cute outfit - pink sparkles and cheetah print! RIGHT up her ally!

and....

A "juicy Couture" purse. Now,.... Lexi has no idea what that means. We do TRY to keep her somewhat grounded! But,... a black and gold purse needs no explanation to Lexi!

She'll take great care of it - the flashier the more precious (in her eyes).

Here's Clarence with his new Georgio Armani shirt and tie. The shirt is a perfect fit!



And,.... sorry.... I didn't think to take a picture of myself! But,... sometime this summer, I'm sure you'll see pictures of my matching Coach shoes and purse.

Thanks Herman and Leah!!
