They are some of our Christmas presents!
What? Santa surprised us with night vision eye goggles? And an airhogs helicopter and a/h car that climbs up most surfaces!
When they weren't flying or driving their airhogs, they were wearing their eye goggles.
They had just one question.
They asked, "What is a cyborg"?
These handy devices were even strapped on during Christmas dinner! This became necessary since the dining room was dimly lit with Christmas candles and they needed to better see the fat versus the meat in their prime rib:)
It's just what I wanted -- a glow station. Thanks Santa!
He had seen this advertised while watching television at his grandparents, but none of us even knew what he was referring to, but thankfully Santa did. He can draw in the dark and it will glow. And they are also excited for the family's marble run, wii fit, etc.
Dear Santa, I would like a pink ripstick please! Have you ever seen a pink ripstick? Well Santa had! Because it's a ripstick and it's the color of pink lipstick and since she was Sarah Palin for Halloween, Dad nicknamed this "lipstick". Did the snow stop her from learning to ride it? No, the dining room and kitchen made the perfect oval and figure 8 to learn. She was willing to fetch anything as long as she could ride it to get it. She rode it so much that she got "sea legs".
No name tags allowed! With no gift name tags on this year, when it was your turn, you had to guess which gift was for you and who it was from. It was fun to capture excited expressions on their faces. It was scary when I discovered that the first 10 minutes we'd shot photos with no memory card in. Yikes! We missed the first moments, but still have fun ones to remember this day! At first "the four" said we take too many, but if we didn't take one, would ask us to and they even grab it themselves as well, so you'll see more of us.
We are wii crazy, as long as it's one that gets us moving! Here the children excitedly open their combined Christmas/birthday gifts from the Austin-King's in California -- Outdoor Challenge.
Thanks for my new camera flash that equals 1000 candles!
This allows me to shoot rapid fire shots with the flash on. Amazing! And I appreciate the new complete camera equipment carrying slingpack too.
And thanks for this new dress coat to keep me warm while walking out in this wind and snow! We stayed inside all day and played in our "boys -- blue wii and girls -- pink snowflake jammies". We never once stepped outside! The good news is none of us shoveled on Christmas Day. The bad news is all of us needs to help shovel again today -- especially after the Christmas Day blizzard and the snow plow filling the end of our driveway this morning!
