A Very Batman Christmas

This Christmas had to be one of the best Christmas's I have ever had. I think mostly because Chris and I were really excited about our gifts for the boys. As you know Benny is really into super heroes right now. Well in October my mom sent me this Fisher Price toy catalog. Benny looked at that catalog until it was in shred. Inside it was a Bat Cave that came with Batman and Robin. He knew immediately that was what he wanted from Santa. We took him to a few different stores and showed him lots of toys, but he always found the Bat Cave and got stuck there. Since Caleb is at the age where he pretty much follows Benny around and wants to play with whatever he has, we decided to make it a combined gift since it was a little pricey.

So we bought some villains and extra super heroes to go with it.

Let me just tell you how good it feels as a parent when you are successful at buying that one perfect gift. He has not stopped playing with it since Christmas day. Poor Caleb though is forced to be the villain all the time. We have to make Benny let him be Batman or Robin. They are so cute playing together. We also got some great gifts from the Grandparents. We got some portable DVD players for the car. These will come in real handy on our trip too Texas this spring. The boys got some fun gifts from Uncle Patrick too.

Chris also did an excellent job picking out my Christmas present. We had a really small budget for gifts for each other but he spent it well. Overall we just really enjoyed having time to spend with Chris and especially his helping mommy with all the house work and cooking. I think I am going to be grumpy these last two weeks before the baby comes after he starts school. He has really been spoiling me.
We are so grateful for the Saviors sacrifice and for all the blessings in our life. We hope that everyone of you had a very Merry Christmas and were able to feel our Saviors love during this special time of year.
As for the new little baby, my doctor has scheduled my C-section for January 20th. I don't think I will make it that far since both my other babies came eight days early. None the less it is exciting to have the date booked so we can make sure we are all ready.
Today for our New Year's resolution we decided to dejunk our house. Our goal was to fill the back of the car with stuff we did not need. I am happy to say that tomorrow DI will be getting a nice full car of donations. We celebrated the New Year with friends and had a great time eating and playing games. I know this year is going to be a good one for our family. After all life is what you make it and we are satisfied just being together. Happy New Year to all our friends and family.
