This little carousel is the most amazing thing ever. It has enchanted all my boys and this year was definitely Max's to discover it. He spent hours in front of it listening to its Christmas songs, watching the horses go around and the lights blink on and off. He may be more susceptible to epilepsy now but...it's worth it :)
Christmas EVE!
This year they all came with me to the fabric store and picked out their favorite fleece for a blanket. I'm so glad they did too, cause I would NEVER have thought to pick Kade's skulls, or Luke's dragon scales material--but they love them and so YAY!!! SUCCESS!! They had their scavenger hunt to find their pajama's and blankets, we read the Christmas story in Luke and sent them off to bed :)
And Hooray! Christmas Morning was lovely. Filled with legos, new bikes, games and fun. One lil extra this year was special nerf guns from Santa, for everyone including mom, dad, and Scott
!
(The day after Christmas Luke came up to Grandma and said,
“stick-em up” But she didn’t have a gun and reminded him of the rule that we
can’t shoot someone without a gun. So
later that day a few of us were talking in the kitchen and Luke came up with a
gun in his hand and handed one to mom saying, “Can you hold this for a minute?” It has Hilarious!!! Then the 3 of us started a Nerf War in the kitchen/living
room. Loved every minute of it. So many spontaneous wars have erupted and it's been awesome.)
Rhett LOVED his four-wheeler (beaut I found for Black Friday),
Max HATED his.....
Jess would set Max on his four wheeler, 'cue Max's bawling', then when Jess pushed the button Max would temporarily stop crying--maybe it was shock? And continue to cry when he stopped and try to get off as fast as possible. It was super special (he came around to NOT hating it about a month later :)
