Christmas

Christmas was so magical for the kids.  They left out cookies and carrots for Santa. 

When they came in the next morning the first thing they saw was the jingle bells that Santa left and then they looked down and saw that Santa left some foot prints.  They just could believe how cool that was.  The things they really wanted was a snow globe.  They each got a snowglobe that sang songs.  They both got tennis rackets and baseball gloves and flashlights.  They got a huge cardboard house to color and they played in that for a long time.  Fenton got Mario Bro Wii. 

I got tickets to Les Mis the movie and tickets to Brian Regan. 

The big story was with David's present.  David always finds out his present.  Either he looks for it, or I don't lie very good, but by a week before Christmas David knew almost everything I was getting him.  But I had one trick up my sleeve.  I bought him a TV and hid it over at a friends house.  I texted them Christmas eve and told them to put the TV in the car anytime Christmas eve or Christmas and text me when it was there.  They texted me at 12:30 am Christmas morning so I woke up at 3:30 and went outside and snuck the TV in the basement and went back to sleep.

Christmas morning we opened presents and played and ate and played the Wii.  About 10:30 I asked David to go get the whites (laundry) from downstairs.  He kind of ignored me and continued doing something.  I asked him again to please get me the whites because I wanted to take a shower.  He finally went downstairs and in front of the washing machine was the TV.  He yelled and hugged me and yelled some more.  He was so surprised and excited.  I loved doing it for him.  It was fun to keep a secret from the kids and David.  We have enjoyed joining the 21st century. 

We had friends over the next day for boxing day and we played games and ate great food.  It snowed Christmas eve so we had a wonderful white Christmas.  It was so great to be with our little family and friends.  We are blessed in so many ways.
