St. Nick

This past Saturday night, St. Nick came to our house and put stuff in the boys stockings in exchange for their Christmas lists. I think St. Nick did a good job. Nathan got the card game "Uno" and him and Bruce have been playing it quite a bit since Bruce has been laid up. Darren got a matchbox size truck with a livestock trailer and he has been playing with that non-stop. Justin's stocking stuffer certainly wasn't as exciting, but he needed some new bibs and so that is what St. Nick brought him. The older two boys each got their own piece of candy (something I don't normally let them have) and St. Nick also brought Bruce and myself something. Bruce got a movie and I got two pair of earrings. We also got a family gift of candy and a "Dennis the Menace" Christmas movie.

I am so glad that my boys are satisfied with simple, inexpensive gifts. I know that those days are will be ending soon for Nathan as his Christmas list has some expensive things on it this year. A Wii, an iPod, a Nintendo DS and a computer. All the things his technology-inept parents don't have or understand.
