Max's number one gift that he wanted Santa to bring this year was a K'nex Roller Coaster. He saw it at Walmart one day with Clint, and fell in love. Whenever we asked him what he wanted from Santa he would reply, "A roller coaster!" Yesterday he was so excited when he opened up his gift. He wanted to start building it right then and there. Since we knew it would take a few hours to put together, Clint promised that he would help him the next morning.
As soon as Max woke up today he ran to Daddy and reminded him of his roller coaster downstairs. I think Clint might have been just as excited as Max to get started building. They both had a lot of fun studying the diagram and finding all the right pieces. Leo even sat in the office with them for awhile and read a couple of stories. The final product is amazing! Good job Max and Daddy!!
