Christmas Catch Up


























Dylan has been killing us this month. The Santa watching thing does not work for him anymore. The first time I used this on him, he calmly replied, "I don't care. I will get a present from Nana and Grannpa Ranny, and from Uncle R and Hope, and Grandma Carol, and Jeffy, and Hannah. I am cool with 5 presents."

The second time, Dave asked him to put away his Bakugan and Dyl was taking his own sweet time. Dave told him again and got a smart answer, which prompted him to take away one of the presents under the tree. Dylan's response, "I don't care." Which prompted the removal of a second present, and Dylan's response, " I don't care Dad, Christmas isn't even about presents."

He made us laugh though, when he was super pumped about being a lamb in the nativity. He practiced his "Baaa" nonstop and took his role very seriously. I told him that he needed to sing loud and not Baa, but he said, "Sheep don't sing, they Baa." The play was great and he looked ridiculous/adorable in his sheep costume. But at the very end of Away In A Manger, just as it got quiet, my little sheep let out a loud Baa, which set off the other sheep and they quickly ended the program.

The Hoodlums all sat on Santa's lap. Dawson wants a DS, (not gonna happen. I am not quite ready for him to unplug from the family.)  Dylan, wants an orange and black cat, (not gonna happen unless we get a new Daddy too.) And Ems wants a Dora Changing Window, or whatever current commercial happens to be playing.

Christmas was lovely. They got a dog instead of DSs'.................That's a whole 'nother post.

We spent a lot of Christmas Break outside playing in the snow and spending time together. It was the best Christmas yet.
