Merry Morning Mayhem

Christmas Morning is truly full of Mayhem in such a Merry way. The boys actually slept in till about 8:00 but then the frenzy began. The boys ripped into their presents so fast, it all goes by so quickly, I wish they would slow down and let me watch more. Samuel was thrilled with his Ipod but he was even more excited about his Spider Man socks and wears them daily. Seth couldn't be more excited about his World War II History book and DVD's. He also mentioned that his new sweater was for dating and he'd smell good with his new cologne. Joseph was really excited about his seasons ski pass but the Hot Chocolate Maker hit the spot. Jonathan has already mastered his Pogo Stick and Moon Shoes (mini trampoline like shoes). Noah got many many things but I think his favorite is the handsome sweater and his plastic toy horses. They were worth the hunt! The confusion and hysteria didn't last too long, not as long as I would have liked. We had so much fun! It was a perfect memorable Christmas Morning. We all sat down to a divine hot breakfast while Joseph made Hot Chocolate to order. We had Poppy seed cake courtesy of our good friend George and lots of good food, fresh fruit and love a plenty. Grandma Bell was here and Grandma-pa Tanner came to get in on the action. We all hung out together all day long and enjoyed each other's company and being home. We went for a walk in the lightly falling snow before packing up and heading for my brothers house where we met all our family! It was so fun to see and visit with everyone and feel of the Christmas Spirit! Before I try to make the day sound too perfect I have to mention Air Soft Guns! They were the big hit of the day! Each of the boys received one and pierced the dreamed of serenity. They even turned my piano into target practice with blankets secured to cover the wood. Little hard green beebies are all OVER the house! I kid you not, they are every where! The boys are having SO much fun with the guns and can't wait to obliterate their homemade gingerbread houses. I insisted they do that outside! They really are actually fun to shoot and we're all not half bad at hitting the target. Seth gave us all a lesson on the proper way to use the gun as he was a counselor at Scout Camp in the rifle range. Not willing to let the day really end we sat around the Christmas Tree till late reflecting on the day and the wonderful season we'd had all month long! Hopefully so many more to come! It really was a Wonderful Christmas! Love Allyson
