Then Comes Christmas

So, the highlights - always "what did you GET?" Now...Coby didn't get anything (like she'd even care, right?) - well maybe an outfit or two - a chew toy - you know - something to keep her from gnawing on the furniture (why, YES, that *IS* a dried mixture of snot and graham crackers under her nose.)

Brynn got a coloring desk which apparently was a HUGE hit - as opposed to a last minute "filler" type gift...

Kiersten's gift was also a huge hit - we got her stickers. A bunch of them - and curtains and a window scarf - which she uses as mosquito netting around her bed, since Phoenix is infested with mosquitoes (particularly bedroom mosquitoes - but this is what she wanted)...


Grandpa Covino also got her wooden letters, which she painted - how absolutely ADORABLE, right? She did a great job!!

Rossi got a punching bag & gloves. I think he was slightly disappointed with it - but it doesn't matter, it's a good thing with which to take his frustration out. I think it was an outstanding investment!!

Kali - she likes to write us notes on a dry erase board, so what better gift than the gift of gab? And you may also notice in this picture our lovely fireplace, the plasma TV gives off some reflective heat, so it was quite appropriate for the moment. A 6 hour loop of warm fuzzies.

Howie got a few armfuls of Tech Decks. This, so he can ride around the block on finger-sized skateboards, apparently, it's the THING, I'm just glad pokemon cards are a thing of the past - what a stupid gizmo those are (as opposed to miniature skateboards?) That's what he asked for...and legos.

So there's Christmas.

Dry erase board: one of the best things we've ever bought our kids. They LOVE them! Except then they ruined all the markers, so they are useless now.

and I love Kierstens room. I always wanted a mosquito net bed.

How do you get the fireplace thing on the TV? I so want that! LOL

I'm glad we're not the only weirdos who put the fireplace on our tv, lol. We have a DVD of it, although this year we got it On Demand. Schmancy!

Those letters are absolutely adorable, and now I need her to come do my girls' room.
