Christmas Morning

 This year for Christmas, Jevin and Elliona, each had 1 present they were VERY adamant about wanting.  For Jevin, it was Fox riding gear (jersey, pants, gloves, and boots) for his 4-wheeler.  We told him if we bought him the gear it would leave little money for toys, so he would have to choose (riding gear is NOT cheap)!!  This is what he chose!!!

We also got him some other things that he wanted.  We saved the gear for last and he didn't whine or complain that he didn't get it!  He is only 8, but I swear sometimes he acts so much older.  When we finally gave it to him, he was sooooo excited!!!  He wore it, boots and all, for the whole day!!!!  He cracks me up!

Elliona, really wanted a play kitchen.  This gift was quite the challenge.  She is only 5, but about as tall as a 7 or 8 year old.  This created a problem because most of the play kitchens out there are very tiny.  She would hover over them like a giant!!!!  I finally found a wood one made by Little Tikes that is a couple of inches taller than her.  It is really cute, but the reviews said it was a pain to put together.  Normally, Rich and I would stay up until 2 am on Christmas Eve putting toys together, but we opted out this year.  Elli was very happy that she got her kitchen, but wasn't happy that it was still in the box!!!

Rich had to immediately get his tools and get to work!!  Three hours later Elliona had her very own kitchen!!!  Good job, daddy!!! 

I hope you all had a very nice Christmas and enjoyed being with family!!!!
