We Wish You A Merry Christmas!

Alright, so I know that Christmas has come and gone, but I made my kids sing this silly song three times before I thought it was "perfect". And by perfect, I mean I just couldn't take it anymore and this was the last cut they were getting!

So Christmas at our house was pretty fun. The kids were their Hilarius selves, (of course what else would you expect on the one day a year they get to rip into gifts like there was no tomorrow!). Eliza though, could have cared less about what was going on. She was opening presents because I was helping her. And by helping her I mean I was taking her hand and making her fingers grab the paper and pull it in a downward motion. I think her second present was a magna-doodle. After that she would have nothing to do with opening presents. She just sat and drew on that thing for probably a good half hour. We tried to get her to open more of her gifts, but she would tell us "no", and give the sign for "all done". Oh well, it was more presents for Ethan and Bonnie to open! Ethan got everything he wanted, and declared it an AWESOME Christmas! Bonnie didn't get anything that she wanted, well she did get a puppy that moves when you touch it (cringe, it's a little spooky actually), and she got a barbie horse that actually walks when you touch it with the magic wand. Brett and I thought that she was going to love her gifts, but they weren't quite right. When Bonnie told Santa she wanted a horse that can walk, she meant one that she could ride too! Santa told me that the horse she wanted cost a whopping $400 more than the one she got. I say yeah for bargin shopping! Too bad for Bonnie, though later Christmas day, she decided that "evendough I didn't get everyting I wanted tis is til the best Quwistmas EVER!" I guess it wasn't a total wash after all! Merry Christmas to all.

Missed a Spot!

Ethan's hair was getting a little shaggy, so I decided that he was due for a haircut. Brett was already cutting his hair, so I told him that Ethan was next in line. Brett finished his hair, and then started on Ethan. Well somehow, the clippers got dropped on the tile floor, and then they didn't work anymore. Poor Ethan is stuck looking like a little old man. I had to call my sister-in-law to bring backup clippers. As you can tell from the picture, he is not a happy camper. At least it is Christmas break, and he doesn't have to go to school like that! I've had some bad haircuts in my day, but man-o-man...

This on the other hand is Ethan being super silly! He wanted me to put his hair in ponytails, so I did. I just wanted him to know that it wasn't cool to be a boy in ponytails. I might have been a little rougher than necessary,but I was thinking I was getting my point across. As a parent, you know how that goes...He looks like he got my point don't you think? This is an after the ponytails have come out picture. I couldn't find the camera before. Isn't that always the case? He went to his Aunt Shannon's house with his hair all up, and it didn't bother him at all. She had to take the kids out with her while he was there, and she said she almost couldn't bring herself to take him with her! Lucky for him, she loves him a lot!

SEE!!!

I caught her red handed! In the bathtub with the toothbrush and the toothpaste, always the toothpaste! This time it was her own toothbrush, but next time...it might be yours!

Accessories!

I just took this picture of Eliza. She is so darn cute it is hard not to just have a video on her at all times! Anyway, she has this purse that her cousin gave her, and she just loves that thing to pieces! She can't keep it on her shoulder though, so she walks around the house with one arm sticking up in the air. So far she has a little toy dog, a jingle bell, "Gingy" from Shrek, and her cup. All the essentials for filling a good accessory!
