favorites. On Christmas Even I had Christian, Tanner, and Sam stay up
and help me make boys and arrows for their little brothers. They each
picked a special little brother and designed and decorated a bow just
for him. It was the perfect little project. Even more special was
the love in which they were received. Amongst their piles of
presents, I think these three little boys have enjoyed their bows the
very most.
The big boys on the other hand, while they like their gifts, they LOVE
their candy. This year I bought them 12 packs of soda. Oh, my o my o
my, has that gift been savored sip by sip.
Eric carefully picked out some perfect games for the boys. I think he
concientiously wanted to give the boys the gift of his time and
togetherness. It has been fun to play the games together during the
break. I can see us really enjoying these for years and years to
come. We were talking about on eof the games last night and I
commented, "I'm so glad that Hyrum won Adventures last night. I can't
wait to play again, I'm determined to win. . . I feel like I'm playing
far beneath my potential." A game that delights both old and young is
a keeper.
Inspired by you last Christmas, I took a photo of each boy with all his Christmas gifts and it's been a favorite of each of theirs. Need to do that again soon. SO many ideas to steal here again---and similarities. Aidan would LOVE soda as a gift. I wrapped up a large box of sugar cereal that they never get to have (unless we're staying at a hotel) which were a hit--except shaking them while wrapped had them convinced they were big Lego sets:)
ReplyDeleteOur bigs got the Star Wars Trival Pursuit DVD (flea market find in SLC). Love the bow & arrow idea!
