I guess you'd say my kids cleaned up. Dad felt guilty for missing a 3rd Xmas with them so spoiled them rotten. We stayed at home except to leave to go two door down to eat. Victor got a robosapien v2 , a talking MEW (Pokemon) Zoo Tycoon for his comp, and the moon in my room. Bryanna got a sewing machine and the big bratz doll that you can paint her toe nails ( evidently that's the important part) as well as Dream LIfe and her first bottle of body spray. Dad sent both kids a chipped PS2 and a bunch of games. Bless Dh's heart tho, he still has yet to figure out that his son is not "normal" when it comes to video games, however he's slowly catching on. Vic has been telling his dad for MONTHS that he wants Spyro for PS2 and Dad sent him 2 games.


Grandma still has yet to get a good present for Vic. 11 Xmas's and she's gotten him one present he liked. A Yu-GI-Oh T-shirt when he was 8. After that she still hasn't gotten it. This year she gave him chinese checkers and a set of children's literary classics. He replies with "Oh, how nice, but these aren't the books I asked for." Luckily Grandma and Grandpa live far away..... and Mom ALWAYS puts something good under the tree from Grandma and Grandpa too.

Wow, that brought back memories, lol. The first time Cait was able to even get the idea of a shape sorter was when she was nearly 4 and the doc tried her on an ADHD med. It was the ONLY good thing that came from that med which we only gave for 2 days, lol. I just remember the shape sorter being a really big deal to me at the time, lol.

How is that Spryo game? Mike is weird about video games too. I keep thinking he will like that one but he will NOT hear of it at all. He gets very stuck and right now he is in one of those places where he is worn out on all his current games but can't see his way to pick a new interest.

Hope you get your soldier back soon.

Just call us Helmet House. Cian got the transformers voice changer AND the Power Ranger helmet that you can download missions onto. He was a pig in muck:) He genuinely just loved opening the pressies.

Liam received the much wanted Nintendo DS and has been on the blasted thing ever since. Although it has helped a great deal in the car and when waiting for food in restaurants (I know bad baaaad Mommy!)

I got my Ipod Nano and am tickled pink as I shall be back at the gym tomorrow trying to work off the 7,000 lbs I put on thanks to mammy McCathy's cooking, lol. We now all own Mammoth crocs, Gawd we're sad.

I think this Christmas showed more about the progress of the extended family in understanding Eric's quirkiness, and that was an unexpected and much appreciated gift.


Some examples:
