WE STARTED A NEW TRADITION THIS YEAR WITH CHRISTMAS...IN THE PAST OUR KIDS HAVEN'T GOTTEN PRESENTS FROM US...BASICALLY BECAUSE THEY GET PRESENTS FROM SANTA..AND NANA AND PAPA..AND MIMI AND GRAND-DADDY AND AUNTS AND UNCLES...AND SO FORTH..AND WE HAVE ALWAYS JUST TOLD THEM THAT WE BUY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR OTHERS...AND IT'S NEVER BEEN QUESTIONED...UNTIL......................THIS YEAR :) URBAN CAME TO US ABOUT MID DECEMBER WANTING TO KNOW WHERE HIS PRESENT WAS UNDER THE TREE...HE DIDN'T HAVE ONE...SO I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO HIM..BEING THREE, HE DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE DEAL....SO, SCOTT AND I DECIDED TO START THIS YEAR AND LET THEM GET ONE PRESENT FROM US AND LET THEM ALWAYS OPEN IT ON CHRISTMAS MORNING....AND I WAS SOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THEM...THIS IS THEM OPENING THEIR ONE GIFT ON CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING...URBAN WENT FIRST...
WE GOT HIM A LIL' MATCHBOX AIRPLANE/HANGER SET...NOT ONLY IS HE OBSESSED WITH MOTOR CYCLES, BUT ALSO AIRPLANES!!
LONDON WAS NEXT...AND SHE GOT A "PIN-CESS" CASTLE...THIS YEAR SHE HAD THE GREATEST FACES WHEN SHE OPENED PRESENTS..YOU COULD TRULY SEE HOW EXCITED SHE WAS..MADE MY HEART :)
MADDOX WANTED TO GO LAST...(SMART BOY)...SO, SAYLOR HAD TO GO THIRD...SHE IS REALLY INTO CRAFTS AND HELPING MY MOM IN THE KITCHEN WHEN THEY SPEND THE NIGHT AT MY PARENTS SO WE BOUGHT HER THE EASY BAKE OVEN...
THE EASY BAKE OVEN HAS COME A LONG WAY....I REMEMBER HAVING ONE AS A CHILD AND I'M ALMOST POSITIVE IT WAS SILVER...NOW IT'S PURPLE AND FUNKY CURVED SHAPED..BUT IT STILL WORKS THE SAME..MIMI IS PROOF OF THAT..SHE REMEMBERED EXACTLY HOW IT WORKED AND HER AND SAYLOR BAKED HER FIRST EVER RED VELVET FLAT CAKE...
MADDOX IS JUST LIKE ME AND WAS HAPPY TO OFFER TO OPEN HIS PRESENT LAST...THAT BOY HAS LOVED LEGOS FOR TWO YEARS..THAT IS ALL HE EVER ASKS FOR BESIDES A NERF GUN EVERY NOW AND THEN..BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S LEGOS LEGOS LEGOS LEGOS AND MORE LEGOS...
GRAND-DADDY TRIED TO HELP MADDOX PUT TOGETHER HIS LEGO BUT GRAND-DADDY BARELY GOT THRU BAG #1 AND THEN SCOTTJ HAD TO TAKE OVER...BUT GRAND-DADDY GETS A GOLD STAR FOR TRYING!!
THIS WAS THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING DAY TO DATE OF ALL TIME...EXCITED TO KEEP ADDING LIL' TRADITIONS TO OUR FAMILY THRU OUT THE YEARS TO COME..MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING!!
