If you cannot stand spoiled rotten children, STOP reading NOW!
Grandma decided to do a 12-days of Christmas thing in the mail for the kids this year. So every day for 12 days they got a fun toy in the mail. Even on Sunday! Don't know how Grandma managed that...
We made some chimes this year out of pipes. The kids has so much fun with them that we finally had to put them in the garage. They were more than welcome to go out there to play with them...which they did...a lot.
Our Nativity involved Ryan being the donkey.
Cody insisted on being baby Jesus this year, while Brandon insisted on being Joseph and Kathleen, of course, was Mary. It is funny to see them all with their little opinions on how the nativity should run. But I sure loved watching them be so excited to do it. Then even asked if we could act our nativity out after lunch, because they were too excited to do it and didn't want to wait until after dinner.
Our Christmas PJ's:
Ryan played Santa this year.
Notice Ryan's new shirt and sweater. I think he looks super HOT!
We got Mario Kart for the Wii for Christmas. But the best part was watching the kids play it for the first time. The couch was empty, but they were all squished into a corner.
Yesterday evening, they remembered to check the mailbox and this time found little wrapped presents from Grandma. What a perfect end to a fun day.
Ryan and I have a tradition that I had growing up where we do a puzzle on Christmas. Ryan, being the smart man that he is, got one of the Eiffel Tower that glows in the dark.
Ryan got me a map of the United States. I have all kind of maps of the world all over, but I have always wanted a big one of the U.S. The best part is that we hung it up and are using it to display the baseball games that we have been to. We have a goal to attend a baseball game at every major league park by our 34th anniversary. So far we have made it to 4.
Ryan insisted that I take a close-up of one of the tags I made.
Brandon's Lego "Clone Turbo Tank" is coming along. I love watching him work on it every chance he gets. It is taking a lot of work and time.
