Christmas Day 2020

I have really great kids. I’m not sure if I say that enough. But this morning reminded me how lovely these three boys truly are.

We had the best morning.

Cooper starting asking me three months ago for 4 movies about Toy Trains. A series. They are the preview on all of his current train movies. And how does a nonverbal kiddo ask specifically for four movies?

Well, he uses his iPad to take photos of the advertisement. His iPad is linked to my iPhone. Every day I have to delete 500+ photos of these 4 train movies. Yea, I could fix it. But I mostly just laugh. He’s communicating and I love it. And thankfully, Santa knows how to use eBay because Coops got all 4 movies. Once he opened these he was pretty much overcome with joy.

Sawyer told me that this was his best Christmas ever. He is kind and sweet and also shot me in the butt with a rival gun ball while I was cooking breakfast so….he’s not all good.

And the little one…it doesn’t get much better than his joy.

Merry Christmas from us. We are spending the day eating, playing games, finding Nerf gun bullets, and gasping at toy trains.

I always have a sense of accomplishment after Christmas. And a whole lot of gratitude that we survived!
