CHRISTMAS 2008

DYLAN GOT TO WAKE EVERYONE UP. WHO'S THE MOST TIRED? IF YOU GUESSED BRAYDEN YOUR WRONG, IT WAS ME BEHIND THE CAMERA. THE BOYS ALL GOT A CRACK UP OF THE NEW PJ'S. BRAYDEN SAID, "MOM, IT HAS A HOLE IN IT, IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE UNDERWEAR." IT IS BRAYDEN. "LONNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG UNDERWEAR (ABOUT THE SAME FACE AS IN THE PICTURE). YEP. "COOL, AND HE LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND LAUGHED. LET'S SEE BRAYDEN WAS SO EXCITED HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT HIS GIFTS, HE WAS TO BUSY BEING EXCITED FOR HIS BROTHERS BECAUSE THEY GOT WHAT THEY ASKED FOR. CAM'S BIG THING WAS A LEGO INDIANA JONES THING. BRAYDEN'S WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RED LIGHT SABER HE'S BEEN WANTING SO BAD................DYLAN HAD A CUTE LITTLE ABC TRAIN BUT WAS MORE FACINATED BY THE BABY ON THE DIAPER BOX. THE BEST PART ABOUT CHRISTMAS WAS OUR HOMEMADE GIFTS. THAT TOOK US AN HOUR AND I WAS SO EMOTIONALLY DRAINED. OK, SOME ARE WONDERING WHAT MY LACK OF CREATIVITY LEFT ME COMING UP WITH. IF YOU READ ON, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LAUGH. OK, WELL DYLAN I MADE YARN PUFF BALLS, I SAID DON'T LAUGH. THEY WERE SOFT AND COLORFUL CREATIONS. CAM ENDED UP WITH A MOTHER AND SON PASSING JOURNAL. I MUST SAY WORKS INCREDIBLE, I GET MORE OUT OF HIM THAT WAY. IT IS UNDER MY PILLOW EVERYNIGHT AND HE CAN'T WAIT TO HERE BACK FROM ME. I'M SURE IT WILL SLOW UP, BUT LATER WE MAY LAUGH ABOUT THE TREASURES IT CONTAINS. BRAYDEN ENDED UP WITH HIS OWN NURSERY RHYME BOOK. FOR EXAMPLE, "BRAYDEN BRAYDEN QUITE EXTRAORDINARY HOW DOES YOUR BODY GROW. WITH SUGAR, AND JUNK FOOD, AND PLENTY OF GUM." WELL, YOU GET THE IDEA, THEY WERE ALL CATERED TO HIM. ORRIN'S WAS A JOURNEY OF WHY I LOVE HIM. I TOOK HIM ON TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS, EACH ONE CENTERED AROUND A REASON I LOVE HIM. NOW, MIND YOU I SPENT NO EXTRA MONEY USED THINGS AROUND HOME TO HELP ME CARING THEM OUT. I MADE A JOURNAL COLLECTING THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES IT BROUGHT. I KNOW CORNEY OR WHAT. HEY, I TOTALLY DID MANAGE TO PULL A SURPRISE ON ORRIN, WHICH I HAVE NEVER DONE. I SHOWED UP AT HIS WORK WITH LUNCH, ANXIETY AND ALL I ARRANGED IT WITH HIS BOSS SO HE WOULD BE THERE. HE WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE ME, BUT YET SO DISAPPOINTED CAUSE HE HAD TO WATCH THE STORE YEAH, NOT REALLY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE JOINED ME OUTSIDE IN DECEMBER, PERFECT DAY FOR A PICNIC. I EVEN MADE A BUNCH OF FAVORITES. WELL THAT SUMS UP WHAT I MANAGED TO CREATE, BUT IT KEPT ME VERY BUSY THROUGH DECEMBER. SORRY TO BORE SOME OF YA, BUT SOME WERE CURIOUS TO KNOW. IT WAS A GREAT CHRISTMAS!!!
