Christmas at Our House

This year on Christmas morning, we had an addition.

B's girlfriend came over early to spend the morning with us...


She came at 8am. We had to set our alarms to be up when she came. With the kids being older now, we have become slackers on Christmas morning. We just don't get up as early as we used to. No more 5am knocks at the bedroom door asking, "Can we get up now?". Now, we usually end up waking them up!

We did pretty good this year. With three kids, it's sometimes hard to make everyone totally satisfied, but this year, I think we did it!

B's main gift was a punching bag.

We all have joked that we will be taking our frustrations to the garage from now on.


C1 got a digital camera.

It had to be PINK!


Now, C2 being the youngest, he had quite the list that he had been perfecting since June.

He got everything on his list, but this one, I think was his favorite...


Let me explain...

When B was little, M and I were much younger and completely against guns. We were even leery about water guns. But, in our old age, we have mellowed out, and bought not only a gun, but one of the biggest ones they had!

Let me also explain this...

Knowing C2, we knew the gun would not be shot very often.

He's too paranoid about losing the bullets.

We were right.
