Our Christmas Story

A knife and a Survival Book. That kept him busy all day.

Oh no, now he'll never sleep!

Rip it up!

Trying to pose in front of the tree was a bad idea. We covered it up and Bryce must have had a terrible headache with that star sticking out like that.

"Twas the night before Christmas and on the I-10,

Our family drove home in the car, stuffed to the brim.

All the stockings were hung by the front door with care,

In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.

The boys were snuggled up in the back seat,

All we could smell were their little boy feet.

Mom dozing off, dad wide awake,

Are we there yet? It's about all we can take.

The week had been great, the family so fun,

Tomorrow is Christmas, and all will be done.

So into the driveway we flew like a flash,

Tore open the garage and in with a dash.

Bring in the boys, tuck them into their beds,

While mom can't get the lists out of her head.

Stockings, cookies, camera, and toys,

Everything is just right for her little boys.

It really was such a wonderful sight,

Finally, it was time to say good-night."

Of course, that is until 5 AM when the boys woke up!
