New Years Eve

Due to Covid, we didn't get to spend New Years Eve with Ken, Stacey and the boys. I stuck some things in balloons for a countdown to midnight. Every hour they took turns popping a balloon and we stopped what we were doing to do whatever the paper said. The last one was for 11:45pm and we all got scratch off lottery tickets. Other than the selfie it was several minute to win it games. In between popping balloons we played Mexican Train, Ticket to Ride and Kids Against Humanity. The boys LOVED Kids Against Humanity. It's perfect for boys who are highly amused with bodily functions. I'm not quite sure it was appropriately rated and there were definitely no parenting awards given to James and I that night. But we all laughed a lot!

 

Christmas Morning

The boys ended up with a Nintendo Switch to replace the one Maddox dropped in the toilet during Spring quarantine. Santa also found them some wearable sleeping bags that have been a huge hit. We've all had a lot of fun with them.

 

Family Pajamas

 

The Night Before Christmas

The annual reading of The Night before Christmas.

 

Family Presents

 We surprised the boys with a new iPad and phone. They were a huge hit along with the soccer shirts. Maddox even cried when he opened the shirts. He loves his soccer shirts!

Making Cookies for Santa

We got our cookies made. Of course, the boys enjoyed the frosting more.

 

Jingles

 Jingles had a busy time at the Scrogin household. Maddox looked for him each morning. I'm hoping we can get one more year of magic but this may have been it.
