Ireland's favorites

Ireland is such a girl! She was easy to please this year too! Barbie's, dolls, and dress-up! So fun! The only thing we were missing this Christmas was family and friends :) We miss you all and hope your holiday was wonderful!

Keean's favorites

Keean was very specific this year on what he wanted! There was this specific lego mini set he wanted, a specific "bat cave"...not the old one because he already had that one. He needed the "new and improved" bat cave. He now has this whole city of imaginex toys downstairs that he and his friends play. I hope this completes his city! We don't need anymore "bases" downstairs!

Harrison's favorites

Harrison loves EVERYTHING you get him, so you would think that would be easy, but there's so much to choose from. Some of his favorites were the most recent "Diary of a Whimpy Kid", his i-touch, and he got some heelys. He's already well adjusted to his i-touch, but he is still trying to get the hang of his heelys! Maybe a helmet is in order for these tennis shoes!

Aedan's favorites

Aedan is not one for change and he has liked the same gifts for a few years now. He likes legos, books, and games! Pretty simple. Pretty predictable :) He loved his christmas! We always try and branch out and introduce something new and this year we got him roller blades. He loves ice skating so we'll see if he adapts to the roller blades!

Christmas Eve tradition

We love to play games as a family. Sometimes, ok most of the time, it can get a little crazy but it is fun! On Christmas Eve when we should be doing something spiritual (:))we are opening our game gifts and getting rowdy! This year we got operation, blokus, bop it, and a word puzzle for ireland. We did read the Christmas story at the end of the evening to help everyone calm down and feel the spirit :)

Operation Santa

Every year Harrison has asked to sleep under the christmas tree on christmas eve so that he can catch santa in the act. This year was no different! The concern for Santa delivering our presents has always come up because we have no chimney either. Harrison wanted to see how he did it, how he came in the house. Well, we didn't let him sleep under the tree this year, but he and Keean were anxiously looking out their bedroom windows with their binoculars in hopes of one little glimpse of santa and his sleigh. Harrison called it "Operation Santa".
