The camera

We got Nick this camera for Christmas. Actually, we got him a different one that ended up not working. The original probably was too good to be true. It was a digital, and came with some cool editing software. It was meant for kids, and was pretty cheap. Nick spent all of Christmas day taking pictures, just to find out that none of them took. I returned it the next day, and traded it for this 35mm film camera. This is old school. You have to manually wind the film after each picture! Anyway, Nick has already used up two rolls of film, and is anxiously waiting for the pictures to come back from the store.

So I don't forget...

I want to remember what Santa brings the kids...

Nick: When he was two, he got a Buzz Lightyear
three, he got a VegieTales Pirate ship
four, he got this crazy snake race track
five, he got an electric light saber
six, he got Pokemon and Yu-gi-0h cards and a game dueler
Carmen: When she was one, she got a My Little Pony/Lego horse stable
two, she got a Dora backpack
Luke:When he was one, he got a holiday Weebles set

Family: Last year Santa brought us a popcorn popper and a bunch of movies
This year he brought us a bunch of family games

Okay. I'm caught up.

Games of anykind are always a hit with the kids. This one has already gotten lots of play. 

Here is yet another toy of Luke's that Carmen has claimed!! 

Atleast she's sharing... 

Here are the bucketbuddies that Luke got 

Carmen has claimed them as her very own too. :0) And made them into hats
