Merry Christmas

It was our year to spend Christmas in Lebo.  The kids managed to eat everything on their lists (see last post) and Graham trashed the house too many times to count.  Santa managed to find the boys, and enjoyed his cookies while his reindeer ate "all but 20 of the like 2,000 pieces of corn." (according to Miles).  

Santa brought Graham a basketball goal, a flying saucer, a matching game, and the book, "Owl Babies" (a book he loves to read at school).  He also got some Under Armour, KSU clothes, and a Batman prison/car/bad guy set from family.  He actually spent most of the time in Lebo playing a 30 year old Willie Nelson guitar that Quint had as a little boy.  

Miles was really wanting Bay Blades this year, so Santa brought some of these along with Skylander Giants which both boys ended up playing a lot.  Both big boys scored some new Under Armour, KSU clothes, and Nike Elite socks (nearly impossible to find in Miles' size--thanks Grandma!).  Santa had a little trouble finding gifts for Owen since he only asked for clothes--and a laptop, not yet dude!  He ended up with new slides (much needed), a Wisconson hoodie, and neon yellow Nike tennis shoes that he asked for in August--mom vetoed them back then.  

We were able to get together with my aunts, uncles and cousins on Christmas day.  The boys took turns holding baby Maggie.  Graham enjoyed playing with McKinley's sick doll that says things like, "I have a fever," or "I need some medicine."
