Favorite time to wake up on Christmas morning: 8:30 am. Not so bad when the kids went to bed WAY before their bed time. Ben was asking to go to sleep on Christmas Eve at 3 pm... talk about being excited!
Favorite Christmas breakfast: Homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate! and then lots of candy from our stockings. We are sugared OUT!
Favorite toy in Stocking: Whoopee cushion. No explanation necessary.
Favorite Christmas song played throughout the morning: The Chipmunks had the spotlight this year.
Favorite thing to wear ALL DAY: New pj's of course. Zack has a matching pair like Ben and Luke's, but he insisted on wearing his other Christmas jammies. I regret it already... the pictures would have been so much cuter!
Favorite things said on Christmas morning: I will give you all the candy in my stocking if you fight me! (apparently Ben has to bribe his little brothers...)
Zack's favorite present: Hulk hands... electronic ones that talk (or shall we say THREATEN) if you touch them. And This is his most recent "mean face"---
Luke's favorite present: A Star Wars video game. No, we don't have a Wii. We still do old-school-plug-into-your-TV games. I know, our kids are so underprivileged. We did also get a REAL game table... fooze ball/air hockey/pool table. The billiard table was made for midgits (just our kids' size!)
Ben's favorite present: Either his Star Wars Monopoloy game, his Grandeous coloring book or the 20 other Star Wars thing opened. Who can keep track. Last year we had a Transformers Christmas, this year, we took on another theme. Not pictured: Star wars shirts, underwear, toothbrushes, Star Wars Guess Who, flash cards, etc. etc. HOW DID SANTA KNOW THEY ARE SO OBSESSED???
Aaron's favorite present: Either the three bottles of Gatorade his three boys gave him or the remote control Jeep his wife gave him. By the look on his face, I think he likes the Gatorade better.
Janet's favorite present: Hands down, without a doubt, it would be the HOMEMADE EARRINGS Ben and Luke made for me. It was a complete surprise to everyone. They were neatly wrapped in paper towels. Yes, I actually put dirty PAPERCLIPS through my ears. And I have never been so proud. (and if you can't tell, the earrings are a picture of me.. yellow face and blue hair...) These puppies will be in my jewelry box FOREVER.
Favorite Christmas so far: 2008.
Oh good, I'm not the only one blogging on Christmas night! I knew I could count on you Janet!
ReplyDeletelove the earings. Looks like you guys had a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThose are So CutE! Brings me way way way back to the days in elementary school when we used paper clips to make braces for our teeth~~~and we all wanted braces! (Those were the good 'ole days!)
ReplyDeleteAnd your boys look super cute! And don't be fooled, the PJ contrast totally works!

No worries, Janet!
ReplyDeleteBut it is nice to hear from you. As you can tell, I really enjoy everything you write about. And thanks for the compliment ~ but you do need to know that I don't post any pictures where my gray hair and wrinkles show up. So I have everyone fooled!
