Christmas Eve and Morn.


On Christmas Eve we had a fun shig dig up in Farmington with the Bachman side of the fam. We had a delicious ham dinner and ate to our heart's content. Then we opened presents and socialized as always. We always have fun watching the cousins crazily running around the house causing mischief. Some highlights were meeting Bryson's awesome girlfriend Destiny, having a heart attack the several times Peyton knocked over the heavy wood chair on the floor, convincing one kid that it was OK to share his present and the other kid that we need to let the first kid have some time to play with his present by his self for a while and oohing and aahing at the glorious calendar Kimi made for Diane once again. All in all another fun evening with the Bachman clan
So Christmas clearly isn't all about the presents, but c'mon...when you've got three little boys it pretty much is. Zekie very consistently claimed that all he wanted for Christmas was candy and Thomas toys. Luckily an awesome friend from the ward hooked me up with a great deal on all of her son's old Thomas toys he didn't play with anymore. They were a BIG hit and Zekie and the other boys played with them for hours and hours. I even asked Isaac was his favorite toy was for Christmas and he said "Zekie's trains!"
Isaac's is always looking to modify things just a little to make them better. For example dunking chicken nuggets into juice, rearranging the gymnastic toys in his class, and clearly wedging PlayFoam onto his screwdriver to create a whirling swirling foam helicopter. The possibilities are endless.
Caleb now officially owns his very own car. Plasma car that is. Really we just call it the Wiggle car and wiggle it does. The best part is I can even ride it and we have thoroughly enjoyed zooming around the kitchen together. You can't really tell from this picture but Caleb is very good at making the ride a thrilling experience was a very passionate...Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm!

Looks like you had a great Christmas, and way to score on the Thomas gifts!! What's the plasma car??

p.s., not to be picky, but you spelled mourn wrong. It's morn, and with the way you spelled it, I thought someone died....You had me all worried for a while!!

We love Thomas!!! He provides hours of entertainment at our house too.

Loved reading about your trip to Europe! It sounds like you guys had a great time. Are you serious about going to Mexico next year?? You guys are becoming quite the world travelers. Tell us more about what you are thinking and where you want to go.

And Bryson has a girlfriend??? HOORAY!
