Spoiled silly again! It seems like every year we want to do less and it never works that way. I mean we had a BLAST and I don't think we overspent or anything, but sheesh! It's all good, the kids are only this young once and they are all about the magic of Christmas and the fun, so we just are going with it.
Here is Stephen with his Gator Golf. He's been asking for this game for... oh about two years. I'm not sure why we never got it, but this year he asked his Grammy (my mom) if she thought he would get it and she ran right out and picked it up for him. He was overjoyed! He sang us a song about how much he had been wanting it and how much he loves it and then he played it all day.
Ethan had a heart desire this year too. You may remember the hot toy last year Spike the Ultrasaur? It's a HUGE dinosaur that has a remote control. Well the boys like him, but he's over $100 and also he's downright scary. This year thought they put out a Spike Jr, or as Ethan calls him, "Baby Spike!" You gotta shout it like that. He fell in LOVE. He loves the baby version of anything. Well his Gramma Sue (my step-mom) got that for him. You can see here he loves it.
Stephen also wanted "Zoo Spires" Which he means "expire" but he really means "membership". I'm not sure when or how he started calling memberships "expires", probably when one of ours expired, but look! he got one! (We went to the zoo yesterday by the way, it's a family membership.) This is one of the most exciting presents of the year because we all can enjoy it again and again.
I got an unexpected suprise too! Ages ago I mentioned to my mom that Kitchenaid made a PINK food chopper/processor. I've been wanting one for a while. And PINK. Did I mention it is Pink? So now I have one! Thanks mom! She got me tons actually, this, the swiffer wetjet mop I wanted (I know totally sexy Christmas gift right? But I love it) An octopus broach, a bunch of vintage dishtowels... I can't remember what else. Tons.
Brian was there. He got mostly gift cards to Toys R Us, which is what he always asks for. He got a calendar from my Dad and Sue that he's showed me several times. I'm not sure if I'm not admireing it correctly or what, but he REALLY likes it. I think Brian's favorite thing is the food. I cooked a 12lb ham. It was awesome. I think though that I could go months without eating ham again. haha. Marcia and Gram were also here. (maybe next year I'll make a list of photos I really want us to take.) Gram loved the pillows I made her that match the quilt I made her last year. Marcia got some seek and find picture books. She loves doing those things. It was a really nice Christmas.
Brian was off work from Wednesday. We went to several parks and hiked and such. Very fun stuff. Stephen took photos there. Tomorrow or Tuesday I will have him blog what he has to say. I'm going to load his pictures and then let him dictate what to say about them. So look forward to that. :)
