Christmas at Our House.

After looking through her stocking this morning, H told me, "I bet normal families don't give their 10 and 11 year old girls knives for Christmas."

I'm so glad we're not a normal family. By far the favorite of the stocking stuffers was the multi-tool (which has a knife among it's many gadgets) M picked out for each of the kids.

After putting an hour or so of play into the Lego: Lord of the Rings Wii game we got the kids and finishing up breakfast (Ham and cheese omelets made by M), the rest of the presents were opened.

The current favorite (based on how long they have been out playing with them), the squirt guns their grandma gave them (one of many assorted gifts from her giant bags of goodies). The kids have armed themselves and ventured forth into the backyard to have great adventures.

They also figured out that if you squirt water from a squirt gun at Arrow's mouth he will try to drink it.

K will be getting a Victorinox knife for her 10th b-day, just like M and her brother did. My older two also got Victorinox knives from M for their 10th b-day. Sounds perfectly normal to me.

Heh. I suppose one could argue that you all are not a normal family either. Normal is highly overrated anyways :).
