Santa Claus

Santa visited our house and left gifts for the boys while we were in California. When they woke up on Sunday morning (still in the clothes they fell asleep in on the plane) they found presents under the tree and gifts in their stockings.

Santa brought Nathan a brand new sled to share with Dad. And a fire station complete with fire truck, ambulance, firemen, spotted day, and furniture. There was even a kitchen table, toilet, dresser, bunk beds, grill, and doghouse!

Santa brought Mathew a great little turtle to ride. There's a hidden compartment under the seat , so Mathew can continue to horde and hide small objects!

Nathan Says

I've had a sore throat and cough for a few days. My voice was all scratch and croaky. THis morning I felt much better.

Nathan: Mom, does your throat feel better?

Mom: Yes it does. Why?

Nathan: Because you have your real voice now.

Mom: Oh. What voice did I have when my throat was sore?

Nathan: (Shrugs shoulders) Not yours.

Mathew Says

Nathan was quizzing Mathew on words...

Nathan: Mathew, can you say red?

Mathew: Red

Nathan: Can you say green?

Mathew: Gween!

Nathan: Say lellow.

Mathew: Yellow

Nathan: Say puple.

Mathew: Burple!

Nathan: Can you say cow?

Mathew: Moo!

Christmas Afternoon

Gong Gong took Nathan to the hay press where he keeps a mini excavator. Nathan got to drive and dig some big holes with the scoop. When he was done digging, he got to push the dirt piles around with the blade. He kept saying, "We're construction workers!!" A dream come true for my little Silly Goat.
