Ok I just decided to start an awesome post where it will mostly be your comments, I'm just starting the discussion. I'd like to start it off with an all-time classic and I'm sure first in your mind Mom's upper octave ear drum shattering squeal of delight, "SKI BOOOOOOTS!"
4 notes:
Well Christmas is an emotional time for all of us, but I remember one time when the Ivey's came over to make candy canes with us. Of course you have to heat the suger to boiling and then add the flavored oil. Well we added cinnamon oil and the steam was so strong it drove us all out of the kitchen and then out of the house. I think that is when it was first suggested that we quit making candy canes as a Christmas tradition.
Only Dad and I can remember this one because none of the rest of you were there! Our very first Christmas together... Dad gave me a watch and a "Maniac" T-shirt; I gave him a handheld video game - maybe the original Gameboy! It only played rudimentary football, basketball and soccer!
Another funny one was when we got a TV and VCR (I think) and when we opened them we got styrofoam all over the family room. It looked like a snowstorm inside the house!
I remember one Christmas when Aunt Beth come and stayed with us. All of us kids were supposed to be in bed, but I snuck downstairs anyway. Mom was in the kitchen doing something and Aunt Beth was sitting in the brown couch. I was so quiet and I sat down next to her for about 10 min before I got bored and went to bed. I think that she might have heard me at one point, because she looked in my direction, but she never said anything. I felt like a super spy.
OK, I remember another one - I got a tent one year for Christmas, and I thought that it was so cool. I used that tent to camp and sleep out in the backyard, and let's not forget when we used to set it up in the house and then play games on the Sega Genesis and then sleep in the tent. That is a fond memory we can all share.
