Christmas Day 2010 (part 1)

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!

Here is what Santa brought for Leo and Henry.

Henry: preschool rollerskates, doodle board, and Uno Moo game.
Leo: Lego City Airport/Plane kit, Scrabble Flash Game, Ripstik (kind of like a skateboard)

Their stockings had bubble bath, fizzy bath color tablets, a book for each (Wimpy Kid #7 for Leo, I Like Me for Henry), a motorized toothbrush, and breath mints (HUGE hit!).

We played a few games of Uno Moo before Henry decided he only wanted to cheat and make things always go his way and just generally be 4-yr-old irrational.

Aunt Carolyn and GG got me this great griddle for Christmas. We absolutely love it. We have already used it so many times. We had bacon, chicken breakfast sausage from Sprouts, and pancakes. We have really never had pancakes at home before because we had nowhere to cook them except a little skillet.

Leo got an Ant Farm from Aunt Lee Lee and Uncle Brian, but I missed the picture.

And I got these patterns from Aunt Lee Lee and Uncle Brian that I have wanted for so long!!!

I also got nice snow boots from mama and daddy. Last year when it snowed so much, I had nothing. So now I am prepared for the next snow 5 yrs from now. Ha! Todd got a great shoe shine kit from Lee Ann and Brian, and he also got some sort of thing from mama and daddy that you charge....and then it can charge your phone or other electronic device when you don't have a plug. This was inspired by an Adventure Guides camping trip this fall where there were no available outlets for his phone.

Tomorrow....the Christmas dinner post...

Christmas Eve

I know I am way behind for December - I'll post all our pictures soon. But here are some Christmas Eve pictures.

We have sushi every Christmas Eve. Leo looks forward to this all of December and talks about it a lot. I made the sushi myself!

Putting out food for the reindeer. In the rain. It was oatmeal, glitter, and cheerios. They both made a bag at their different schools - very convenient.

Sweet Henry B

He fell asleep in Todd's lap the other day. We know these days are numbered.

In the nicest of neighborhoods....

We find a lot of broken beer bottles in the back corner of our backyard. It seems that since we are on the corner of the alley, SOMEONE throws beer over as they are heading home??? Usually it is just an empty bottle every once in awhile.

But the other day, I went out to find these in the side yard....not inside the fence. Todd said this has to be teenagers....only teenagers buy bottles like this. Yuck.
