I'm really not much of a blogger...never have enough time. It was a very nice, but quiet Christmas. We enjoyed both Christmas Eve and Christmas on our own. Not a bad plan - as this was the last Christmas where we will all be together for what could possibly be several years. Makes me sad. I miss my little boys.
Good thing I got most of my shopping finished early - because I got a HORRIBLE flu, and didn't get out of bed until FINALLY on Christmas Eve I was able to finish up a few last minute things. Wish I'd felt better - but at least I was able to enjoy Christmas. And...knock on wood...nobody else has come down with it!
Austin's highlights were his juggling balls (for the mission field), his Gryffindor collectibles for his room, Batman BluRay collection and "Elder" stuff (ties, socks, belt).
Cade had a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit Christmas. Framed poster, 3-D puzzle of Minas Tirith, Miniature LOTR sword collection, Extended Collector's Edition of the LOTR trilogy on BluRay, Map of Middle Earth mousepad, and Cowboys sweatshirt were the big hits for him this year.
Blake is very excited about his new golf clubs, his RC helicopter, headset for his X360.
Austin bought me a beautiful heart locket from Brighton to wear with his picture in it when he leaves me for two years. :( Brian and the boys bought me several nice things as well.
Brian's favorite is his extended edition BluRay 3D Titanic and a new watch.
Merry Christmas everyone!!! Happy 2013!!!
Blake's tradition...whipped cream in his stocking!
Kira & A-Rod enjoyed their stockings as well!
Austin is VERY proud to be a Gryffindor!
Brian has a slight man-crush on Leonardo DiCaprio
Cade explaining the names of the Swords from LOTR
A new family game is a Christmas tradition!
I'm SOOOOOOO going to miss my boy!!!!!!
Oh yeah...and it was a WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!
Getting this was like pulling teeth!!!!!
