Christmas 2010

Christmas morning is just as fun as it was years ago at the Nielsen home. The boys still get up early but instead of waking up mom and dad they watch SpongeBob and wait until the agree time to come and ponce upon us and tell us that it's time to open presents. This year was fun. We all met under the tree and opened gifts and admired each one. The years get harder as the boys get older. More thought has to go into the gift and a little more money. Needless to say I don't think they were disappointed. They both received new hiking backpacks for scouts and rip sticks. Wii games and clothes. Things that were needed and a few wanted. We also had the opportunity to teach them more about giving. Our community suffered the loss of 2 small boys and children who were going without. We tried to teach them that others had nothing and sometimes its the small things that matter. Like shoes or food. We don't need a lot of things to make us happy, we just need to be grateful for the things we do have. Tyler's new game. It's a fun memory game that you throw discs under in correct order.

Tanner gave mom new penguins slippers. They match the penguins pants.

Tanner got new goggles for snowboarding or 4-wheeling.

If you ever have a chance to come over, make sure you see us play this game. So fun and funny to watch.

Hope your holidays were filled with love and support from your families.
