They all got money machines from Grandma and Grandpa Gallien.
This present was hilarious, the whole morning all the boys kept saying we know what that is, we know what that is and yes it was a ball.
Easton loved it, thanks Aunt Daisy. Something fun we did this year was a gift exchange with the kids. We put name's in a "hat", and they all picked somepone's name. Rustin had Easton, Elijah had Rustin, Cooper had Elijah and Easton had Cooper. Brooke and I took them one at a time to go pick something out for whoever they had I took over Easton's gift. Cooper was really funny as all the kids were talking Cooper just said, "I just hope Easton gives me something really awesome." too funny. It really was fun, the kids each picked something that they thought the other would like and wrapped it and tagged it themselves. So when the person they had was ready to unwrap the gift given it made it more exciting. The test this year was teaching them to keep a secret. And they did for a few weeks they didn't say a word about what anyone gave to anyone. We payed for the gifts this year, next year we told them that they would have to pay for the gift to make it even more meaningful that's where Grandma and Grandpa Gallien's gift come in handy.
Brooke was so excited about his weed wacker, he tried to weed wack our carpet. His Santa gift was a celebration of me not having to take care of the yard, so he can edge, weed wack and blow the grass away, he can do it with his new tools. I'll help with the weeding for fun.
You know, we exchanged fun gifts but some of the best one's were hand made and from the heart. The Chair that Grandpa Al made in his shop was awesome. The pillow cases that Grandma Gallien made for the boys was awesome and my blog book that showed up Christmas eve day that I had made through the blurb company. It showed up while Brooke was outside in the back, so I put it in the back of all the Christmas presents to kind of hide it. He knew right what it was Christmas morning. We didn't think it would show up until after Christmas. Handmade things were the best by far.
