Christmas #1

Our first Christmas celebration this year was with Grammie and Grampy Gorden.
The night before our celebration, the kids were given their "big" gift from Grammie and Grampy--an air hockey table! They were pretty excited and have loved playing it over Christmas break.

The next morning we exchanged gifts....the "hit" gift by far was Colin's set of tools. For days, he had his tool belt on anytime he was able. The day after exchanging gifts, he came home from Sunday School with his project signed this way:

We noticed this when we got home from church....and we've asked Colin many times about it--he doesn't seem to know the story behind it! We find it funny though, as he had JUST received his tools and toolbelt for Christmas!

In the above picture, if you look closely at the middle photo on the left, you will see Andy wearing a hat with a light--he is most excited to have another source of light for the fall evenings when he mows the lawn, as it gets dark so early! He's also excited to wear it on "adventures" with the girls this winter--our trampoline is covered with a tarp, yet you can get under it for special hideouts. :)

Thank you, Grammie and Grampy...for your generosity!!!
