Christmas 2010

Christmas morning sure came early. Ethan set his alarm clock for 5:30. Yikes!!! I should have been smarter and shut it off. But, I didn't. The kids waited patiently for Dan and I to get up and moving before they came out of Ethan's room. I just noticed that these walls look very bare. I had better get something on them.
Ethan may have scored best brother award. He got Addi this little puppy. It is soft and cute and makes all kinds of noises. Best of all...it doesn't poop and you don't have to feed it!
Addi also got a makeup set. She was quite excited about it too! I got my fingernails painted...one hand silver the other hand purple. Best of all, I didn't take it off for a few days! Very stylish!
Ethan was shooting his air soft gun in the house. It came with a cool sticky target. Hard to tell, but I think he liked it!
Dangerous!!! Look at that smile...

Ethan got lots of exciting things. How about flint...a hatchet...a bike...wii game...the coolest thing ever...a hot chocolate maker. I am sure I am missing something, but, these are the things that I could think of. Ethan was making sparks all over the house with his flint. The things that make a boy happy.
He also got a camelbak. I think we are ready for a good bike ride!
Addi got all kinds of fun stuff too! Santa knew just what they wanted! Her theme color turned out to be pink and purple. She got a bike too..a stereo...a pillow pet and a dolly. She practiced for several days on her bike in the house. Then her Dad kicked her out. Funny thing...we went for a little ride on Christmas day. Addi and I got to the Neilson's house (not very far away from our house) and Addi said, "Whew, I am tired I think we should go back and get a bottle of water!" We kept riding for about 3/4 of a mile. She made it just fine. Her fingers were frozen, but, she wanted to keep going. Luckily she had on her head lamp...just to be safe. I think it was the funniest thing I have ever seen! This summer will be fun! I can see lots of bike rides in our future!
Addi scoots all around the house on this. Dad hasn't band this from the house yet. Notice Ethan in the background shooting...safety first at our house!

Dan is just so lucky. I tried really hard to surprise him with this thing. I think I pulled it off. Everyone took a turn on it and then felt really terrible after. I will probably never get on it again! Not sure that Grandpa Guymon will either. I guess all that matters is that Dan thinks it is cool...right? We all had a Merry Christmas...it all seemed to come and go really fast! Now onto a new year...let's hope it is a good one!
