Christmas was good to us. Soft new snow, listening to Christmas music and eating our body weight in sugary sweets. Here are a few shots of our Christmas day:
The girl was thrilled to open her new horse stable. Her current grouping of equines were seriously neglected, so she's relieved to have a suitable shelter for them complete with mucking-out equipment as well as a new mare and foal to house there.
My youngster is frequently opposed to having his photo taken, which creates the appearance of general dissatisfaction with his new firehouse. He is, in fact, super excited about it. As a matter of fact, we're not surprised that he reported to his teacher today in church that we had suffered a serious house fire and he saved the day by notifying the fire department. His teacher approached E to inquire about our misfortune.

Yay me. A certain exuberant player (E) gouged the white door frame pictured here. I didn't freak out. Again, yay me.
E amazed us all by employing his recently developed wood working skills to build gifts for the kids. He built this doll bed for Miss S's American Girl doll. I made up some bedding and it's pretty stinking cute, truth be told.
He built Bubs a toy box deserving of its own zip code.
And for Wonderboy an adjustable set of stilts, which he is already quite adept at tottering around on.
I stupidly gave E a RC gyro helicopter. I haven't snapped any pictures of it, because when he's using it, I find myself fully occupied cringing and covering my head with my arms. Somehow, when I ordered it for him, the torment I would suffer didn't occur to me.

It was a very good day.
Merry Christmas!

Since I got home I kept hearing, "Have you read Janna's blog about the christmas gifts yet?" And I knew I must. So finally I read, and I wasn't disappointed. I love how E got into the laser tag, really that one pic makes me giggle like a school girl. And the helicopter - yeah I once bought Brad a nurf gun for Christmas. When I bought it the thought, "He'll use this on me." Never crossed my mind. Biggest mistake ever. I'm glad your Christmas was wonderful.
