In the House this week


Christmas came early this year... at least some gifts did. For some reason we got talked into letting them open one gift from Grandparent's McKinney. So, the guys are here sporting their new PJ's and horse DVD's. BTW - did we mention that these guys, especially David, are horse fanatics? Anyways, good job McKinney's... and Thank You!



Well, the long waited 'Beauty' arrived... that is Black Beauty, the trusty steed that you see David riding here. This has been a long awaited Christmas gift from Grammie that came early. Normally we would have the guys wait until the 24th to rip into the presents, but this one helps us end WW3 in our home. What's the conflict? Well, Gabie has had for a year now his own faithful, audio equipped mount Dusty. And like any good, red-blooded cowboy, no one (and I mean no one) touches Dusty. Now, to be honest Gabie has been trying to share lately. The only problem is that David is now a pretty tough buccaneer and figures Dusty is his. This has started a few wild gun-slinging fights... so our home is shaping up to be a real Western, real quick. Thank you Grammie!






The boys are now sucked into to YouTube universe. They have been getting their American Christmas cartoon indoctrination with the likes of 'Charlie Brown's Christmas', Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer, and Frosty. Yet, I think Macko Usko still tops the charts...



Ivetka and David sow our first ever Christmas stockings! Ivetka did a great job on them!
