We started the Christmas weekend with Christmas at home - just the 4 of us. The boys actually slept in - but were excited once they realized it was Christmas morning!

awkward smiles and a slightly inappropriate hand position :)
This year the one thing the boys wanted was the Cars 3 - Florida 500 race track.
We saw this at Costco (multiple times) and while the boys thought it was fantastic - I thought it was cheaply made and grossly over priced.
So I asked Dad to work with me to recreate it and after many days and nights of work and creative ideas in both Mequon and McFarland... this is what we came up with!
The boys were overjoyed and got to playing right away.
It was fun to see them get creative right away and they were happy to sit and play most of the day - and ever since really :)
And this photo is proof that making vs. purchasing was 100% the way to go - because this move by Isaac (climbing into the track) less than 5 minutes after receiving the gift - would have DESTROYED the store bought version to a pile of matchsticks!
