Super Angie...its the most horrible time of the year

Its the most horrible time of the year...
The time of the year when children are so ungrateful. The time of the year when the idea of sharing the new sled is out of the question. Actually when sharing ANYTHING is out of the question.

Dallin has spent a total of 30 minutes down stairs this morning. Oh, except for the time during the middle of the night where he broke all the rules and came down stairs to get something. So, when he came down with everyone else this morning, we had to put up with him faking his excitement over everything he saw. The rest of the time was spent in time out for being whiny and grumpy. Apparently, the idea of sharing the new trampoline, the new sled and a ben 10 action figure didn't settle well with him.

Brennan on the other hand was thankful for every single thing in his stocking--even the new pencils. He did have a mis-hap where, after just 1 minute of playing with a new toy, he broke it. So goes anything Brennan touches. Brennan even wanted to see the boxes that Santa left in the garage with the new tramp in it--Santa left a note saying that because of the snow, he had to leave the tramp in the garage for us to put up later. Brennan was thrilled to get two books--one about the Mormon Trail and one about the Oregon trail--he is my little history buff.

Tanith was a joy to watch. She didn't know there would be stockings but when she saw her new dolly, she grabed her quick and held her lovingly. It was so sweet. She loved the animal magnets in her stocking and without anyone saying a word, she recognized they were magnets and she said, "Go put on fridge". She is such a smart cookie.

The funniest thing that happened was when I realized Santa gave me things I already had sitting around the house--like a box of Frangos I had bought Rick last year. He did treat me to two new things-- eye liner and Burburry purfume. Thanks Santa!

Okay, after writing all this, I have seen that things really aren't so horrible. I just wish Dallin wouldn't whine and complain quite so much.
