Christmas

For the first time in years, I was able to buy my boys a toy and it was also a surprise! At their ages, 17 and 22, it is easier to ask them what they want and go buy it. But this year, we had some extra money and I bought a Wii. It was fun to watch the concentration on their faces as they played. Last night, Mike and I got a chuckle out of hearing their laughter coming from the living room. Anything that keeps them bonding as brothers is alright by me. I am grateful that they have turned into such fine young men. Jeffrey has taken to shoveling the walk without my asking. I still think he's been replaced by an alien but I like this new child.

I got lots of new clothes for work, including two suede jackets. I am slowly building up a work wardrobe now that I am wearing girl clothes instead of scrubs. I also got a beautiful pair of diamond and blue topaz earrings. Oh, and an computerized picture frame for all of my pictures. I sort of begged for that one. I need to decorate my cubicle at work.

Mikey got computer parts (video card), a folding recliner for camping, awning lights, and two books. I happened to be walking past our cafeteria and they were holding an author signing of the Train to Polevka. Who knew the author was from Utah. So Mikey got an autographed copy.

All in all, it was a great Christmas.
