Ashtyn was ready to open presents as soon as we walked in the door--that seemed to have been the deal--"when auntie m and uncle ryan get here, we will open presents". This box from Mimi and Papa Ra was so big she needed to get on top of it to get the paper off.
Let me help you put this together Daddy.
Now Auntie M, to iron your scarf, I'm just going to set the temperature on low.
Perfect!
This doll is actually quite intriguing despite it's somewhat frightful appearance. She swims in the tub or swimming pool--needless to say we tried it immediately--it worked.

Let's eat!
A brother sister moment--a strange one actually looking back--what can we say?--we like grape crush.
Papa Ra and Ashtyn playing one of their games of "you ask me a question and if I get it right I get a piece of candy".
Now Nena wants a piece of candy so her question from Ashtyn is "who is the cousin of your cousin?" : )
So once everyone got their questions right and on a sugar high, Ryan kicked in on the drums, Brandon joined in on an indian themed chant and Ashtyn immediately started doing a tribal like dance of which I have no pictures because I was laughing so hard. This went on for at least four minutes.
Then there was a puppet show which was the grand finale of the evening. Aunt Da held the curtain and Ashtyn with her Crocs as the puppets on her hands put on quite a show. Some of the highlight lines were "Hi, I'm a Croc", "God of the Crocs" and "Jesus was a Croc". Of course this was all about the shoe brand "Croc" (just in case anyone reading this does not know of the Croc phenomenon) and our sides were sore from all the laughter.
A father daughter moment.
