Two Little Men: 2009

We went to the Hutcheson's for Christmas dinner. It was a beautiful meal, and it's so nice to spend the holidays with another family who lives in town.

Here is the Santa loot. Santa's basic guideline this year was three gifts per child...b/c the baby Jesus got three gifts. Genius - from my friend Kimberly Labbe. But the book doesn't count, and the Transformers wouldn't fit in the stockings...but, anyway, it really helped keep me in check. So, the three gifts were:
Leo: Scooter, Nintendo DS, and Bakugan
Henry: Scooter, Leapster, and Puppy Crocs.

Then we got them Wii Sports Resort. And we got them season passes to Hawaiian Falls for next summer - only Leo grasps that, but he was thrilled. I got those a long time ago, but I figured...hey, why not throw it in as a Christmas gift?

They got up about 5:30, but we made them stay in bed until 6:30 or so.

Even on Christmas, I don't get a break from Henry's relentless interrogation..."Where am I going today???" That's what he's asking me at the beginning of this clip.
