T's Christmas list:
Mindcraft Ipad
Mario Nentendo 3ds game
My own Kindle fire [as opposed to Mom's kindle fire, which was tragically dropped on the asphalt outside the hotel on a trip to Idaho this summer...]
Army Gear at Walmart [He and his neighborhood friend play soldiers, and spies, and sometimes US Air Force--although the latter is discourage because I'm an Army girl at heart]
toothpast spicy
stuffed anamal

M's Christmas list:
Happy Hlludas [Happy Holidays--Kindergartener and being encouraged to sound out words to spell]
idtedothreds [Nintendo 3DS]
And the other two are picture wishes--a fancy party dress and a rosary.

This was one of the most wonderful Christmas holidays we have had.  T participated as a reader in mass on Christmas eve--so we ate snack foods before mass--and then drove around and looked at Christmas lights after mass.  We opened our family gifts on Christmas eve--and everyone had Christmas jammies that they really liked.  F had soft flannel pants. I had red sparkly stripes.  T had matching Gap polar bears (He neurotically likes matching jammies.)  M had a polar fleece night dress with polka dots and Santa embroidery.
Santa left a mess by the fireplace when he brought the super size 3DS game systems.  He also broke the code on F's Ipad and put the "Mindcraft" game and Furby apps on it.  We ate all day long and just relaxed--
I made Divinity this year--which both kids loved.  It was like a miracle to them "cake/candy" they call it and I have repeatedly been told that I could sell it and we would be "rich!"  How sweet.  How sweet.
