Atta Boy!

So - Ryan and I are pretty much finished with our Christmas Shopping, which could prove to be dangerous, since we've spent our Christmas budget, and still have a month of 'wandering' stores before Christmas...Anyhoo, I HAD to share this...

As I was folding my laundry this morning (an as of 10:00 pm, it's still not done...ADD?) Tanner came into our room to see what I was doing. Mind you, we had purchased "the boys'" Christmas present last night, and they were with us. We decided it didn't matter, since they're so small, but apparently, this 'present' has made an impact on Tanner...I caught him doing this...

It entertained him for a good 15 minutes, studying the diagram on the back of the box, oohing and aahing...

Just sneeking a peek, like his mommy and daddy did with their Christmas presents over 20 years ago! We only have so much room to store things in our apartment...I'm considering taking it all to Grandma's house...because this isn't going to work! And when I say All, it's really not that much, it only takes up a few diaper boxes in our closet, but Ryan and I are really bad about closing our closet doors - they're a pain to open, and close, so everything is "exposed"...gotta work on that! And as you can see, this box didn't even MAKE it to the closet. I caught Tanner dragging the box to the living room at least three times this morning... He.He.He!

that is exactly how parker is. i was going to make a fleece blanket for him....and he was there when we bought the fleece. when we got home, that is ALL he kept asking about! so, needless to say, he got his christmas present early! he wouldn't forget about it! :)

Are you serious? you think i'm going to divulge my son's Christmas Present to the world?!?!? It's already bad enough tht he knows.

JK - It's a train. It's a "Fire Enginge Train" as Tanner calls it.

I'm playing a little blog catch up here. First of all, love the articles of faith on your blog, I might have to do that too because in a time like this in our country, esepecially in CA, people may be confused at what we believe and this is the best way to tell them! Thanks. As for the christmas presents...HIDE THEM! It'll only cause trouble...we tried that last year. And thanks for the gooey frosting buttery description of cinnamon rolls...I think I might make some for my laurel class tomorrow! Love the blog Deanna, truly, you're awesome!

Your blog is soooooo cute! Wow, feels like I am looking through a scrapbook. I am impressed that your Christmas shopping is already done. Way to go! We haven't even discussed the budget yet.
