Christmas morning we had church at 9am.
So mean mom and dad wouldn't allow gift
opening until afterwards. We somehow
managed to get straight to gift opening when
we got home....without even changing out of
our clothes. Which is a miracle for our family.
We all have our church clothes off before we even
walk up the stairs to our bedrooms most sundays!
The BEST Christmas gift EVER this year was finding
the magical powers of the camera timer. Not sure why
or how....but my children (including Bill) can sit still,
smile cute, and create the perfect family photo
if no one is behind the camera!! Go figure!
We took TWO pictures people. Only TWO!
And we got this one....and I'm in love!
Macky got a DSi. The only thing he wanted!
He was all smiles!
and didn't move the rest of the day.
Not even to take off his church clothes.
Marley got all sorts of useful materials to help
her with her quest to destroy our home....
Make-up
Princesses (believe me....she'll find a
way to use these....)
and WASHABLE paint.
Grandma Lyn came over for lunch and some games!
Mason and Madden asked for cell phone or a lap top.
And if that wasn't possible....a Xbox.
Mrs. Clause is ready to rip out her hair and throw
herself on the floor in a 2 year old like fit
if we have to purchase one more game system.
You would think the 6 we have would be satisfactory.....
but no. Every stinkin 2 years it is "do-or-die" if we don't
get the latest and greatest.....
but I'm told by all male figures in my life that that is just
the way it goes and to get used to it.
Grrrrrrrrr!
They sat like this for an entire week. Three days
into it I asked them to shower and get dressed and
you'd think I had asked them to cut off both arms.
"But where are we going?"
"No where!"
"So then why do we need to move?"
"Because I'm the mom and I said so!"
Drama, drama, drama!
Glad school is back in session and their brains are de-mushing!
And the second best Christmas present is the fact that I haven't had to shovel the driveway ONCE and it's January!! Plus I spent 3 hours at the lake with my kids today. Walking on the ice (shhhh-don't tell), feeding ducks, finding cool rocks and sticks, dropping big rocks off the bridges to see if we could break the ice, laying on the grass in the warmth of the sun! All in jeans and long sleeve shirts! I'm in heaven! I could use more Utah winters like this!
