Random Christmas Takes

My wonderful daughter-in-law,

TheSecretAgent,

whose picture does not appear in my blog

cuz she is so dad blamed cute that my
son worries that someone will see

her and spirit her away

thought she was

VERY CLEVER

giving me a

Starbucks Christmas ornament.

She said her first thought on seeing it was..

What idiot would buy this?

Her 2nd thought was

Oh, my idiot Mother-in-law would

probably like that..

Although she never mentioned the

2nd thought to me.

Here is my son-in-law,TheBrawnyMan's ,

Packer village.
I think my daughter got a bit

carried away with the SNOW.

It looks like the town was

ploughed under in a blizzard.

Sorry, TPot, just sayin....Our kids draw names to exchange gifts

but there is a caveat on the gift.

It must be made or purchased

for $10. or less.

This is MamasBoy in his

Pizza Snuggie- (styling, buddy, styling)

My daughter who was the

roller skating queen of the 7th grade

got a pair of next-to-new roller skates.

(which she will use with her kids

at the local roller rink-the same one

MyHero skated at as a boy)

Mimi got a birdhouse made out

of signs..and it spells out her last name.TheBrawnyMan made this

for TheIslandScout-a hand-turned pen..

a pretty great "gag" gift..No GAG to it.

I got one too...it is gorgeous!My daughter, TPot, also got this..

She loves family photos.
Her sister, Mimi, had her kids

lay in position so that she could

make "letters" -The letters

spell our their last name. Cool, huh?

You can see the O K E here.SweetCheeks got another dress up gown.

This one is Ariel.She is magically transformed into a Mermaid

just by donning the gown.

Nana-Look- Iff Ih pull my ghown upp

Ih'm a baby mermaihd~Hearh-Lookit hearh..

If I phull it dowhn ...

Ih'm a beeyootifull groawn up mermaihd

Nana- Do yoah know whut this is foarh?

(whispering now)

Thiss iss my Brawh for my Boobies.

Cuz..Mermaihds have big gurhl boobies.

giggle...giggle...giggle..MyHero got a kite from the

grown up kids..

Do you think there was a hidden message there?

Like when he asks---

Do you want some advice?

in his deep no-nonsense voice.

Instead of saying NO

They could just hand him this box..And, every Christmas afternoon..

we play

Pictionary..on an easel..

Lulu drew these..

and guess who guessed them right?

The only one that got them?

SweetCheeks...

That is a CARROT on the far right..

and an Astronaut on the left..

We didn't even know she KNEW the

word Astronaut..

And because she was so cute about it..

we let her draw for quite a while..

as she changed her drawings

right after she would point and say...

YOAH GOTT IT WRIGHTT!

And it broke my heart when we had to tell her..

Your turn is over now..

Poor, poor baby!
