BIG present!!!!!!














We got the kids a big present to share this year. They both have been wanting a trampoline for about a year now. So, we finally got them one. Shane and my dad started putting it together Christmas Eve before dark (which is like 6pm). Then Christmas Day after we were done with gifts and stuff they went back out to finish it up. Unfortunately they had to retake all the springs off and rotate the trampoline to get the net straight. So, it took a little longer than planned. By the time the girls got to see the trampoline it was 10:30 (note Christmas Celebration started at 6:45 am) . Mom and I were having so much fun playing with the kids and watching them jump, that we forgot we should be cooking lunch. About 11:10 we ran inside to start cooking. We already had the ham and turkey cooking, so we didn't have 5 hours of cooking, just longer that a normal 12:00 meal. Shane even eventually came inside and helped make the broccoli and Rice casserole. Yummy! Thank you babe! It was fun. No one seemed too bothered by the wait. We fed the kids earlier since they only will eat the meat anyways. My dad ended up taking a nap. He was too hungry to stay awake :) I promise it was worth the wait. The food was great. Even better than thanksgiving. Just not as much.

Bart has been wanting one for about 10 years. He tried to say Lauren wanted one about 2 years ago...now the kids (and Bart) can just come over to your house to jump.
