If I Knew It Was This Easy…

The list of Anthony’s Christmas gifts was pretty extensive this year:

• An Android tablet

• Nintendo DSi XL Mario Kart bundle

• Telescope

• A pair of spy glasses that captures video and still images

• Remote control car

• Lots of clothes (which he was thrilled beyond belief to receive)

• Angry Birds stuff that ranged from school supplies to clothing

• Kinectimals game for Xbox 360

And even with all of that, what do you think he favors playing with the most?

An empty cardboard box converted into an airplane with the tool set we got him. The “propeller” is an old toy he’s had since he was around 3 years old (he’s almost 8 now).

I think my shopping list for Christmas 2012 is already done.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I don’t go back to work until January 3rd which is cool because I’ve been fighting a cold or something and it just won’t go away. Kind of sucks to have this happen over my vacation but I’m doing my best to get better; I’m just extremely run down at the moment.

By the way, this is the first time I think I’ve mentioned Steve the Cat, who we adopted after we put Ozzie to sleep earlier in the year. His original name was Tommy but it just didn’t seem to work for me. One day I just blurted out “Steve, knock that off!” and it stuck.

So welcome to our lives, Steve the Cat. You don’t know what you’re in for 🙂
