Early Christmas

Since we are leaving early Christmas Eve morning to start our drive down to FL, we celebrated Christmas over the weekend.

Friday night we celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa B,and Aunt R, Uncle A, and little J.



They thoughtfully gave the boys activities they can do on the drive! All the boys got mini magnadoodles, and a little devotional book. The older boys got a 15 puzzle. It is a slide game where you mix up the numbers and try and put them back in order. The younger guys got mini etch-a-sketches.



Aunt R and Uncle A gave the boys a game called Mr. Mouth. A frog head slowly spins and his mouth opens and shuts. Four players try and get all of their flies into the frogs mouth. The first to feed all his flies wins. It is much trickier than it sounds! This is a game that Bri and his brother and sister played when they were little.

We had our family Christmas Sunday morning



Even though we celebrated 4 days early, that Christmas morning excitement was in full force. All four boys were whispering outside our door a good 1/2 hour before we got up for the day.



Everyone pretty much got what they asked for. Nathan didn't ask for it but got a cool marshmallow gun. You put in a mini marshmallow and blow it out. Caleb got a BB gun,BB's,knife, and knife sharpener. Jacob got a folding saw,hatchet,knife sharpener,and tackle box. Luke got a hatchet,knife sharpener,and fishing pole.

With all of the gifts and goodies that come with the season,always take the time to remember and give extreme thanksgiving for the TRUE reason for the season and His ultimate life giving gift to us.

Merry Christmas!
