Christmas 2017

We originally planned for Jesse to be home on Christmas but they informed him a few days before that if he wanted all his hours for the week he would have to work Christmas day. We decided that we didn't want to miss out on that money for the week so Jesse did work Christmas. We all got up early with him, however, so we could do presents together. Santa brought Atreyu some Battle Bot Tarantulas and Cambria got a Calico Critters Houseboat. We opened all our gifts and the kids were very happy with all they received. We gave Jesse a Mox Ruby magic card. It's part of an expensive set of cards that he wants all of someday. I felt bad that that was all we gave him but it was expensive and that's what he really wanted.

I have thought about learning to play the ukulele for a few years now so I told Jesse that's what I wanted for Christmas. It has been so fun to play and I really love it. I honestly think it's one of the best gifts I have ever received.
