christmas recap

well this is the second writting of this post as my app on the ipad went nutty and i had to down load it over and lost what I had.... bummer but at least fairly easy fix. Christmas came and went with out a hitch... Santa did not disappoint, Mom and Dad did not disappoint ...and actually the kids said it was the best Christmas yet so I guess GOOO ME!


the ginger train... that did not turn out like the box picture to start our engine is a puppy


laying out food for Santa's crew


Reindeer breakfast cakes


Bevos Massive bone... that a week later is still around which is a feat


The tree before the festivities Dale did not really ask for much and all the video games he wanted he had so one of his gifts was a pair of pants and i do not ususally give the boys clothes as it is a loss on them... but to make the pants better we stuffed the pockets with money for a video game and made him try them on to make sure they fit and when he went to push the pockets down...jackpot... he called them hi money giving pants and thus far every time hes worn them he gets money ... which is all of 2 wears so far but hey pretty good odds if you ask me. ( the second wear was to Kerrville Christmas and Great Grandma gives a gift of money along with a normal gift.) He also got a really cool optical illusion book that turned out to be something he loves, and we ordered him a honey badger doll that turned out to be a limited edition thing and he LOVES it. Momma Sam gave him some sweet headphones for his game system that was also a big hit, and Grandma and Bepaw gave another week at camp this summer and he was stoked for that.... he got a bunch more but this will be extra long if i don't stick to highlights.


Reid he got .... hard to remember since he tears thru his gifts so fast and does not really share what he got... but he did get a massive amount of legos a poilce city, marine city, and more police cars... so now yet another table is claimed by the legos.... this makes 3 tables thus far and i guess as long as it is not my dining table i am ok with it. He also got some video games, a punching bag that he really loves that will also have a small circuit in the garage to allow him to work out when he wants. He also got a week at camp that he is very excited about although was a bit less expressive. He and all the kids actually got their own pool cues that are their size... so we have had lots of pool going lately too.


Macy she racked it in... she got a build a bear from Mama Sam, Cutie Pie is a very loved addition to the animal kingdom we have. She also got a zhu zhu pet city with more zhu zhu's that really wig out the dog. I made her a new bed set for her bed she is getting a full size bed. She also got some video games, fairies, dolls and clothes for them, she also got a week at camp and decided she did not like camp.... although she LOVED it last summer... and even wanted to sing the grace they did at camp at Christmas Dinner .... and on the way home said she did like the desserts , and swimming, and horses, and animals, and crafts .....mmmmk so what did you not like? The drive home, and rope swing it was kinda scary.... K so the rope swing it optional and the drive is a little long... but she decided she did want to go back after all.








Mama Sam we here thru Christmas and then we did Kerrville Christmas on Monday with Scott and Tanya, Sam and Sophie and Grandma and Bepaw and skyped in Brad and family in California. Kinda sad they could not make it in but hey thats sometimes how it goes. We did make it to the river walk for dinner and lights ... the LED's were amazing





Duke and I were also spoiled this Christmas Duke got a new sound bar for his new gigantic TV, some T's that he really needed as his were a little worn and one it a whataburger one with a dinosaur that he loves for some reason. and some magazines he loves. He also got Tomb Raider the trilogy on PS3 that he a Dale are uberconsumed with and a nerf gun that he is all but too happy to shoot you with. I got lotion, and perfume, a picture frame I wanted some stuff for the kitchen, movie money for some mommy matinées, i tunes money that i have partially used to by the Royal Tailor cd ... LOVE them, and a new fridge... it is the side by side with a freezer drawer... gonna be awesome to have 2 again. I also got a gift from my dad that i adore ... a cedar cross that he carved out of one log... and he is really allergic to cedar so it is truly a labor of love and I have wanted one for a really long time.
