Ethan decided he wants a BB gun. I don't know where he got this idea from. He's started looking at guns and realized he has enough money saved to buy one himself. All he has to do is convince his parents that having a BB gun in the house is a good idea.
Later we went to Burger King for lunch. I asked the boys if they wanted to go to McDonald's and they said no. Evidently McDonald's is offering "hope for foster kids" in every Happy Meal. The boys said, "We want a toy, not hope."
We started a new tradition and enjoyed a Shepherd's Dinner for Christmas Eve dinner. This consisted mostly of cheese and crackers, but we also had olives and some summer sausage. We ate on blankets on the floor, picnic style (or Shepherd-style), watched Luke II and talked about the shepherds and how angels came to tell them of Christ's birth. We had the lights low and the fire place on. It was nice.
Finally, the boys opened their Christmas Eve presents: matching PJ's. But this year there were robes made by mom and slippers (from LL Bean) as well. Unfortunately Ethan's was a bit small. He asked for a bigger one right away.
Merry Christmas!
