Successful Christmas

I would say that Christmas of 2012 was a success!  We tried to give a few quality gifts instead of the mountains of toys they usually get and never play with. And quality they got!!!!  My favorite part about their gifts is they were total surprises. Each of the children only asked for three things for Christmas. From Santa, Soren asked for climbing ropes and walkie talkies. Bodie asked for a snowboard and climbing ropes. And they both asked for stacking cups being sold by Soren’s school.  This left all of the adults in the boys’ lives to give some awesome surprises! 

The first surprise were the newest members of the family…

Soren was so surprised, it took him a while to believe it!

Ultimately, the boys were thrilled with their new babies.  Bodie named his Volcano and Soren named his Hampster.

We then put on our boots to check out the awesome gift that Kevin has been working hard on!  IMG_2894

And then, they got to check out the 2-story club house and slide that Beepa has been working hard on.  While it is still laying on it on a trailer that is stuck in the mud of our backyard, it is surely going to be awesome once erected!

And even after all of this, my charming little Soren’s response to, “What was your favorite part about Christmas?” was “Spending time with my family!”

 

Christmas of 2012 is certainly going to be hard to top!!!
