The kids always wonder what I will give them for their Christmas Eve presents. One year I will have to surprise them and not give them pajamas. That would be sneaky.
I love that Tyler found so much humor in the Underoos pajamas. Carter not so much! He wouldn't even consider putting them on. Not even once.
I finally got Carter to put on the T-shirt portion of the underoos. Seriously, don't take yourself so seriously. He must be a teenager or something. Thanks for humoring your old Mom and at least wearing the T-shirt. Ally loved her footy PJS as she should since she picked them out about a month ago. I told her to act surprised.
The kids wanted to sprinkle reindeer dust in the yard just to make sure Santa could find our house. Some traditions live on forever! Ty had a little slip and fall out on the sidewalk but since he's Superman tonight he came through it just fine.
Christmas Morning! The kids all slept in until 8:00. But once they were up the present opening commences quickly.
Ally got her crutches. She is not injured, yet, she just really wanted crutches to play on now for a few months. We have been telling her she is crazy and no way but it's Christmas. Let's just hope she doesn't actually kill herself playing on the crutches and then need the crutches. She also got a great new soccer ball from her Nana Pollan and Tyler gave her an iphone case which is funny since she doesn't have an iphone. She didnt think he was very clever.
Ally got Carter a bungee chair. He quickly put it in the basement by the Wii and has been contentedly using it a lot over the Christmas break. Good call Ally! Byron got a pair of custom ski boots which we are praying will eventually fit him and fell good while he skis. The jurry's still out on that one. I also found a cork board and framed up the kids ski passes from years gone by. Byron has wanted that put together for years now. I got a nice pair of winter boots-hopefully they won't leak. Ally gave me a bean bag chair that has quickly been moved to the basement with the Wii as well. Byron surprised me with a trip to Hawaii this winter. He framed up sketches of a whales tail, a turtle and a waterfall and gave it to me to add to our wall of photos when we get back. We were going to skip it this year with his job ending and everything but he must be feeling pretty optimistic and I'm not one to turn down Hawaii. The boys went in together and got me a radio for the kitchen. My old one broke a while ago and the new one has blue tooth!
I decided I was going to wear Carter's PJs from the last two Christmas Eve's and show this boy how to wear your long johns and your underoos and enjoy not taking life so seriously. He laughed at me a lot but wouldn't take a turn in the outfit. He's probably the smarter of the two of us.
Carter wanted money for Christmas so I wrapped cash up in different sized boxes. He had fun opening up his light weight presents. He also got a motorbike helmet for when he finishes up his motor bike. They are down to the tail lights. They can't get them to blink but once they finish up with that it will be ready for registration.
Tyler on the other hand got very heavy gifts. A forge and an anvil for blacksmithing. He could hardly lift his presents. The boys are working on assembly the forge in the photo above. They will also need to build a work bench to put all this equipment on. It was a good morning. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
