Advent Day 6

Our house woke up slowly today and when it did, we discovered that St. Nick had made a visit.  He had left a few small things in the boys’ shoes. They each received an Audible book credit. Mason received Ready Player Two and Walker chose Dragonwatch by Brandon Mull. St. Nick brought Mason a new […]

A Quick Visit from St. Nick

St. Nicholas made his customary stop at our house and left the boys some simple treats today: Vitamin Waters, hot chocolate and gum. The countdown for Christmas is in full force.

Hello, St. Nick!

Last night I heard the boys mention picking up their shoes.  It gave me pause and then I realized.  They were not picking up their shoes for the sake of a clean house.  They were picking up their shoes to place them in front of the fireplace.  This year St. Nicholas left them each a […]

Passively Aggressive

Today was the day we traveled to Indianapolis to cash in Mason’s St. Nicholas gift and see Jeff Dunham perform.  We made a day of it and got up in time to have a late lunch at P.F. Chang’s and make a stop to the Apple Store in the mall.  Unfortunately, the service at P.F.’s […]

St. Nick’s Treats and Feasts

This year Mason received three tickets to see one of his favorite ventriloquist comedians perform in Indianapolis at the end of December. (Just three?  St. Nick knew that Bill would not be able to get […]

The Gifts of St. Nick’s Day

In preparation for St. Nick’s arrival, the boys put their shoes in front of the fireplace last night.  The funny thing is that I forgot that St. Nick’s day was today and I kept harping on the kids to put their shoes away.  Silly me! At any rate, this morning Walker and Mason discovered that […]

Hello, St. Nick

There was a great incentive last night for the boys to put their shoes where they belong because today is the Feast of St. Nick.  They couldn’t wait to get up and see what they had been left.  St. Nick knew that the boys would be pleased with bacon jerky, Skylanders and a scout ornaments […]

Hello, St. Nick!

Last night the boys left their shoes by the fireplaces as is their tradition and went to bed hoping St. Nick would bring them a treat.  Mason awoke to find a Frozen Toy Pack for his Disney Infinity and Walker received the brand new Michael Vey book, the third in a series he loves.  The […]
