Christmas Day!

Christmas Day was fun, although I am upset at my pictures, I didn't get pictures of their stuff before they saw it. Then I totally missed Devyn. Here they are Christmas morning
All Ethan wanted was a race car.
Jacob asked for a Piggy Bank and food for his bunny.
He got a panarama animal picture for his room, which I love and his favorites were his fishing stuff and his Zoo Tycoon computer game, I have to admit the computer game is fun.
Devyn asked for a barbie, little petshops and a chocolate orange with orange sticks. She also got some heelis and a couple fun mirrors for her room.

Here she is showing me some of herstuff in her room.

Now for the traggic part. All Jacob wanted was a piggy bank and treats and toys for his bunny. But on Christmas Eve we found out how sick his bunny really was. We found out right when we got it that something was wierd and wrong but on Christmas Eve the kids were brushing its hair and found a huge lump on top of another huge lump and another lump of oozing infection underneath. You have to know that Brownie was a fuzzy lop and looked much bigger that she was because of how furry she was. But we knew that our bunny brownie was not going to make it much longer. It was really sick. So with all Jacob wanting for Christmas was bunny stuff we were stuck. Well all I have to say is that on Christmas morning Jacob woke up to a new baby bunny, and Santa took brownie with him to the North Pole. I don't know if Brownie is dead or alive but I think the perfect word either way would be "Brownie Heaven"

Here is our cute new bunny that Jacob named 'Blackshot'

(We're still wondering why he chose to name his bunny that)

The kids knew Brownie was going to die, so this was a good way of them not having to watch her. They are extremely happy to still have a bunny.

After our fun little family Christmas we made the rounds, first to Grandma and Grandpa Olsons.



Then to Grandma and Grandpa Strongs house.
Here all the grandkids got blankets with their names embroidered on them. Here is Devyn and Jacob with their blankets, Ethan was asleep, and I couldn't wake him up for the life of me.

You quite creatively took care of the bunny mishap... Sad, but excellent timing. Looks like you all had a great Christmas! We should all get together again sometime soon or maybe just us adults should go out... lets talk!

So cute! Nice bunny exit. Smooth. Ross probbably would have said the reindeer stepped on it, or something mean. Good job. Glad you guys had a fun Christmas. I love Devyn's mirrors!!

Fun to see their christmas. Looks like they were all happy. I'm sure blackshot will be loved just as much as brownie.
