Christmas Package - Texas Style

Once the Mommy had managed to wrestle the Nanny's Christmas gifts from the customs office, the anxiously awaited Texas package was triumphantly pushed into the living room in a rare moment of sibling harmony and cooperation.
Both Anneke and Lautje were excited by the size of the package - the Mommy, the Daddy and especially the customs lady were more stunned by the sheer number of wrapped gifts tumbling out once it was opened:
Lautje and Anneke each immediately dug out a package wrapped in their favorite wrapping paper and got to work, completely focussed on the massive task of unwrapping about 40 packages each:
Needless to say, the next hour was one big celebration as the Nanny's wonderful and thoughtful Christmas presents were revealed one after another. Anneke's favorite was a sesame street book featuring her most beloved monster ("Emmo! Emmo!"), which she immediatly dragged onto the Mommy's lap to sample.
Lautje was a bit more rambunctious with his chosen favorite - while the tent was fine for crawling in and out of and hiding in, he decided it was even more fun to try and decapitate the Daddy with it...
