Christmas 2010

For Christmas every year we keep telling our kids that we aren't going to spend very much money on them, and every year we end up changing our mind. Two years ago we remodeled our house and got the big screen TV.  Major bucks!!!! We told the kids that was all they were getting for Christmas. They were not upset at all.  They were all very excited to have the big screen TV.  Last year we told them we had spent all of our money on the house and would definitely be having a small Christmas. Until we ended up finding a 4 wheeler for a great deal. Again, our kids had a great Christmas. This year, we told them we were definitely done spending money so they better not expect too much. And again, we blew it.  We ended up spoiling them rotten. Our kids had probably the best Christmas ever.  This is a video of my son's reaction to his new IPOD Touch.  (After he accidentally slices his finger with his new knife my husband bought him.)

This video is kind of long.  You may not want to watch the whole thing.  And yes.  I did call my son a dork in it!  Sorry!  Of course it was my husband who bought the knife for him.

Valorie ended up getting her new Cell phone she has been wanting for years.  She was tickled.  And so were all of her friends that don't have to have me calling them all day long any more to get a hold of Valorie.

Jenny was the only one who didn't get something awesome.  Her mp3 player we got her didn't work and I can't return it.  However, she did end up getting my old cell phone that no longer has service but can be used as an mp3 player and also has camera and video capabilities.  She loves it!

Katie was the easy one.  Her favorite toy was the one the kids bought her for only $5.  They are little princess dolls that she carries around all day with her.  She eats and sleeps with them.  Also the kipper snack in her Christmas stocking was a big hit.  I don't have a picture of her because I thought my husband took it and apparently he didn't.  Oop!!!

Richard got his glorified shovel attachment for his 4 wheeler and I got a Blendtec blender.
