Christmas update

I am so behind and hope to get back on track soon!  We had a great Christmas with the kids!  Graham had a little better idea of what was going on this year.  The ol "you better be good or else Santa is not going to bring you anything" line worked temporarily.  He has been pretty ornery.  Graham had asked Santa for drums...because he had not been listening very well at all, Gabe and I were going to go with that and tell Graham that Santa didn't bring him drums because of that.  AMAZINGLY...Santa came to Nana and Papa's house while we had Christmas with them and guess what Graham got........not just drums...Graham got drums, a tambourine, a flute, harmonica, maracas and a couple other instruments.  Gee, thank you Santa, you are the best!  I thought the gift should stay at Nana and Papa's house so that Graham would have lots to do while he was there, but the whole band ended up in our backseat when we left the house.

Kamryn was so much fun!  She is sitting up by herself so she was able to pick at the bows and pull some paper off the gifts.  She was her smiley self and had a great time!  Last night, Kamryn discovered that she enjoyed playing with the maracas!  Graham will now have a 2-man band.

Christmas morning was rushed since we had to leave for the Heinen Christmas in Axtell, but Graham still had a little bit of time check out his gift from Santa.  He got a fully supplied work bench!  Now he can be just like his Papa.  It was fun to see the excitement on his face!  As for Graham's Christmas quotes, he had so many of them that I am drawing a blank as to what they all were.  I have little notes all around the house of things he has said...just a matter of finding them.

Well, we sure hope ya'll had a joyful Christmas!  And our journey continues....
