Santa brought what the boys wanted- history buff's this year my sweet boys were, must be the topic and theme in school. White House lego set, liberty bell, statue of liberty, and books. Good ole St. Nick threw in a Nintendo DSI and a PSP... with games of course. Great Grandpa gave a homemade yo-yo gift which my little Benny loves. Benny made a spot in his toy drawers for it, which means it's extra special. Grandma brought over Christmas dinner, which was a gift I almost didn't know how to handle. And tis the season for skinny jeans... both boys now love in a semi-sweet way. The "semi" comes from where I was hesitant on this one, but the boys are such good kids and I want to be the Mom that supports their dress code choice.
We all had a wonderful Christmas. The tradition goes on... Stink's gifts are all wrapped in green tissue with a distinct "D" on every present. Benny's in the tissue color of red, with an "A". Mama got them each a nutcracker again this year, which they were eager to run up and show their Dad at the front door during a pick-up. The boys always try to make mom beautiful with their gifts... earrings from each (which will probably turn my earlobes green but I will love).
New Years was celebrated with the boys' and I's best friends. No pictures... which I usually forget to take when the moment is too meaningful because I just want to enjoy it. It involved heavy jackets, smacked bums, beer pong, caps, firework smoke trapped indoors and rotten hummus. All equally great fun. Benny made me laugh at the end of the night. The adults all got champagne at midnight. Benny came to me right after with an empty glass, the adult champagne styled one. He says, "Mom, that was good!" I immediately smelled the plastic, which thankfully reeked of high fructose corn syrup. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
