CHRISTMAS!

It's HERE! The boys favorite day of the year (followed in close second by their own birthdays...).
So Santa brought them a wii, and it wasn't on any of their wish lists or letters to Santa. So James, with encouragement from his friend Jon, decided to tell them that he was asking Santa for a wii, but that he was worried that Santa wouldn't get it for him and so he asked them if they'd all forgo getting any presents for each other, or from us and EVEN from Santa so that they could get him a wii... Yeah he's on the naughty list...
The best part was Tylor saying to him, "well, Dad... I don't know a wii is kind of expensive..." with that you might want to lower your expectations look on his face. Priceless.
Here's our Charlie Brown-esque tree with all the gifts around it and under it (our living room isn't all that big so it's actually kind of nice that our tree is small...)


Here's the wii in all it's boxed but not wrapped (Santa should have wrapped it...) glory. Oh and don't tell the boys but Santa may have played the wii a few times -he got it back in May... and that's all I've got to say about that.


Here are the boys opening presents and/or showing them to me for a photo op...






So normally it takes the boys a day or two to clear their new acquisitions out of the living room, this year because of the physical movement involved in playing the wii (especially for Ryan -whom we'll need to record some of his bowling, tennis, and boxing events, stay tuned...) they boys cleared out the living room before James even started thinking about starting Christmas dinner. Here's what the remainder of the day looked like.
