Joseph got his Transformer Helmet.
And after much searching and research Santa found a DS game called Animal Doctor that he brought for Emily. She was so happy.
The second was when Ryan's mom put on the Transformer Helmet and sang the Munchkin song from the Wizard of OZ. I didn't have my camera with me, but I wish I would have got it on video. The voice changer in the helmet makes your voice sound higher and multiplies it a little.
The Third Highlight off the day has a story behind it. In Ryan's Family there are two boys and one girl. Tracy is his sister and she is the youngest in the family. For as long as I have known them the brothers have always refereed to her as "The Princess" When Tracy was in kindergarten she made a glittery star with her picture in the middle of it out of paper. Ever since then that star has been at the top of their family Christmas tree. (This bothers the brothers). This year Ryan's parents put up two trees and just to tease the boys (who are both grown men.) They put a decoration with Tracy's picture on top of the second tree also. It worked. Ryan stopped by his parents house one night and saw the two trees with Tracy on top. He then came home and told me that his parents had two trees this year, and that Tracy was on both of them. I find this amusing because I know how much he is irritated by it.
Now back to Christmas day. Tracy gave Joseph a Nerf gun for Christmas this year. While we were all visiting and opening presents Joseph was trying to figure out how his gun worked. He suddenly shot a ball out and it went straight to the top of the tree and took Tracy's star right off the top. There was much applause and laughing that Joseph had dethroned the princess with a gift given to him by her. (Don't worry, the star was not hurt, and no Ryan did not tell Joseph to do it.)
I hope you all had a nice Christmas.

I am glad you had a nice holiday and somehow survived it.
Humor is always the best part of life. I am glad your holiday had some of that :)
That was a pretty good moment. Ryan still could have told Joe. He did know that I was giving him the gun....
It started out because we had no star for the tree and we never bought one because we had a perfectly good one that happens to have my picture on it. Sorry Ryan!
I love how it doesn't even look like a star anymore!
It was a fun Christmas and I was glad to be there with you. And darn straight I'm the little princess!
That is so funny, sounds like a great Christmas. We always had the "Older kids" and then Jan and I were "The Girls". It is funny the things we keep, both as Christmas decorations and things that irritate us.
That is a funny story! Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. How are you feeling?
that is a classic story. Aren't the youngest always the spoiled ones? (and being a girl to boot!) Glad to hear you had good moments that made you smile. Hope you have many more reasons to smile in the new year. :)
