Christmas Memories 2008

 

It's hard to believe Christmas has come and gone already!! The boys couldn't wait for Santa to come! We are starting a new tradition that the one who hands out presents wears an elf hat. Marshall was all over that and wants to be the elf every Christmas!! He was a good little elf and selflessly handed out presents to others even when he himself didn't get one!! I was amazed! They received so many wonderful gifts which they will spend the rest of the year exploring! Half of them are still in boxes on the dining room table!!

Grandpa made each of the boys a treasure box to put little treasures in just like daddy had when he was a boy. In the treasure box Grandpa put a picture of their daddy from his mission, a toy snake, candy (ofcourse), and some baseball cards. Marshall noticed that daddy's treasure box had some rocks in it. Grandpa told Marshall that he would take him up in the mountains to get some rocks. As soon as we got home Marshall asked me if we could go to the mountains to get some rocks, and then when Kason came home he told him he could come with Marshall to get rocks and every cool rock he found he could give to Marshall!! I cracked up! So much for Kason getting his own cool rocks! Then Marshall continued to say that Briggy couldn't come. When I asked why he said, "because every rock Briggy sees he will pick up and say ball, ball, and then throw it, and mom, rocks are NOT balls!! Again I cracked up! What a guy!! Thanks again Grandpa, those boxes are priceless!!

I had to put the picture of the melting snowman with a missing nose up because I let them go outside around snack time and apparently the carrot looked appetizing!! Hilarious!!

Thank-you everyone for all of your generous gifts!! We love you and Happy Holidays!!

I'm glad you guys had a good Christmas! That is so awesome that Tony made the boys treasure boxes - that's pure genius! I bet the boys will get a lot of fun use out of those. Marshall sounds like he is saying some pretty funny stuff lately. I'm glad you remember them to post them so we can all laugh and enjoy! You've definitely got some cute boys!
