Chaotic Happiness: January 2010

And the war is on......

Well I am going to mark the date that the battle began...and the Terreri's started it on December 25, 2010! They sent Ethan a "special" christmas present this year...and wanted to make sure that Daddy was around to capture the moment with him. It really was hilarious.....but I have a feeling this is just the beginning of a never-ending war! The boys will be adults and still receiving "special" gifts from their aunts and uncles!

Hmmm.....what could it be??

Clint's face says it all.....Are You Kidding Me????

And yes...this is Ethan with his Spongebob Barbie doll...or as we like to call it "action figure!"

And again...brushing her hair...Clint was just so happy about this.

Thanks Aunt Cara and Uncle Jason....super duper gift!!! I can't wait to get to work on Evan AND Grant's!!!

No present like a present wrapped in aluminum tape!

Cara & Jason, Alex, and Clint & I, all went together and bought Mamaw and Papa T tickets to the West Virginia vs Purdue Basketball game, with a $25 visa card. Not quite an exciting gift to wrap...unless you let Clint do it. So after some wrapping paper, a roll of aluminum tape, and like four or five boxes...they finally got to the gift!!

Box #1. Right before this, Clint had asked to borrow Mark's pocket knife....and convenietly kept hold of it while they opened their gift!

Box #2 (bad quality pic sorry!)

Mark gives up and gives Mom Box #3!

Then Box #4

And sadly this is the best picture I have of what they received!! Mark was thrilled tho!

Especially since it turned out to be a great game and an awesome victory for Purdue!

Little ol' Sally girl

Sally gave us all a surprise Christmas morning (always her favorite holiday)!! She had been pretty much immobile for two weeks, being carried from place to place, to the bathroom...etc. Well as we all know, Sally always opens her own present on Christmas, receiving two new slippers...destroys one and saves the second one forever!!! This year, she didn't have the strength to open any presents, but she walked from the kitchen to join us in the living room! We were so excited to see her moving! We decided not to put her through a bunch of xrays, blood work and all the tests to see what was wrong. We believe she has a very bad case of arthritis. She has become quite the high maintenance but that's okay, we love our Sally girl!

A rare sight!! Sally usually runs away from monster boy!

Christmas morning!

We had a wonderful Christmas morning this year!! We all received wonderful gifts from Santa this year! Such a great guy!

Santa Claus came and left lots of goodies!

Yes, we had to wake Ethan up at 9:30 on Christmas morning!!

Toys!!!!

Someone realllly likes Spongebob!

A scooter from Papa Felgenhauer

The only thing he would tell us that he reallllly wanted....Spongebob Operation!

And a Cowboys jersey!

Thanks Santa!!!

First Snow!

We got our first snow and Ethan could not wait to go out and play! This is the first snowman he has built! He had alot of fun...but I think he enjoyed throwing snowballs the most!
