A Christmas Recap

Well it's over.  I can honestly say that I am ready to pack up the Christmas tree, take down the lights and stay out of the kitchen.  Christmas was good to us this year. 

Brody made out like a bandit, of course, and I managed to snag a few awesome gifts myself.

No more dreaming about that pirate ship!  I think he played with this a good ten minutes before he even realized that there were even more presents under the tree!

This was a sort of impulse buy on my part - I was finished shopping for him when I saw this.  It's like the policeman one I thought about, but it's a racecar helmet.  and since Nascar is in the family, I thought it would be perfect, and it is!   He loves it!

Oh wait, back to the pirate ship. Who cares about all those other unwrapped presents.  Here's one of me and him.  He thinks it's really funny to make faces when I want him to smile.  I didn't get a good one of the two of us all day!

Here's a few more, of Brody playing with a few of his favorites!

and what did I get??  Gift cards to Menards (I have a new house and have several projects started or on a list, so those are GREATLY appreciated!!!)  an Apple AirPort Extreme (for my new laptop), and... 

I bought this dining room table with the rest of my cash/bonus check!!!  I am in love...
