Merry Christmas, I mean Cramermas

Last Thursday was Steve's last day of finals so we decided to celebrate the next day. We didn't want to bring all of our Christmas presents out west so we decided to do our own day for presents and family fun and call it Cramermas.

On Cramermas Eve Steve and I set up all the toys. Here is the wooden train track that we found on Craigslist. We got all of these pieces plus a train table for $30 at a garage sale.

We also got this kitchen set from our Bishop's wife who was looking for a home for it. And there's the train table to the right.

And Aunt Gwen found this new polka dot baby buggy for free.

Then, while we were eating breakfast the next morning Steve was looking at the pictures we had taken of the toys on the camera. Cody came over to see what pictures he was looking at (our kids LoVe looking at pictures). Cody saw the picture of the train track for a second while Steve was flipping through all the pictures.

Cody: "Wait! What was that?"

Steve: "What?"

Cody: "Go back. Who's train track was that?"

Steve: "Is it Gabe's? Gabe has a train track, doesn't he?"

Cody: "That's not Gabe's."

(pause)

Cody: "Hey wait! Those are our guitars right there."

Steve: "We don't have a train track though. It can't be ours."

Cody: "No. That's our basement!"

Steve: "We better go check it out then."

So the kids went downstairs to check it out.

And there it was! A dream Christmas...I mean Cramermas. All for $30.

It is so fun to surprise your kids!

And they played and played and played with their toys until we left for Vegas yesterday.

Merry Cramermas!
