Brady, Dekker and I had our family Christmas today. As a kid, it never mattered to me whether “Christmas” was on December 25th or January 25th. It was fun no matter what.
We went to Dalmeny first thing in the morning for a quick practice of the music for the Christmas Eve service at our church. The quick practice took about 2.5 hours. Poor Carrie who took care of Dekker for the “quick practice!” Thanks for making him some lunch 🙂 You are so sweet. Dekker slept the whole drive home.
(one of his little toesies escaped his sleeper, haha!) When we got home, we were greeted by…
Yaaaaay! This happened a few days ago but I only just saw the sign today. It is about time. And a pretty sweet Christmas gift if you ask me! Speaking of gifts…
Dekker still wasn’t too interested in opening presents this year. Not with his music table and a large silver noisy pot in the same room! But we tried, and I have to say, he got a decent haul.
Brady and I had smallish budgets for each other this year. We had a lot more people we wanted to buy for this year so we capped it low. Which is why his gifts were relatively lame, give me a break. Gotch and a watch. Hahaha! Had no idea they rhymed until right now. Behold!
Dekker also got his Daddy a game for them to play together. Usually its velcro but since its winter, it was hard enough to find this suction cup version. In my family, the game is known as Skatch. Here, its called Suction Ball. Whatever.
My gift? Brady built mine. Which obviously means that the gift I received was considerably less lame than mine for him. I’m not a carpenter. So there. This is my gift…
Not a fabulous quality picture, but definitely a fabulous quality product! Its a storage bench for our entrance. I’ve wanted one for a long time and now I have one! He just made the plan up in his head too! He says the materials fit within our budget and I guess he didn’t charge for the labor 😉 Isn’t it pretty?! We’ll paint it soon, there just wasn’t time.
SUCH a good afternoon of fun! Now, the baby sleeps while Brady and I pack to move to my parents for a few days next week to be with the family. Still plenty of fun to be had.
Is everyone else enjoying their Christmas already?
