It’s that wonderful time of the year when the Thraps travel down to Muscatine for the beginning of the Christmas holiday and we get them FIRST so we can celebrate our little group Christmas together! They arrived last night and even though we worried about getting the kids hyped up, we decided to go ahead and do presents!!!
My kids made out like BANDITS!!! Audrey got a cute frame for her room and a DS game…
Audrey opens her first Thrap Christmas present… a pretty frame for her newly remodeled room!
Audrey’s very own DS game! Lilo and Stitch!
Michael opens his Thrap gift, a DS game!
Chris got some new CROCS for when he is done with nursing school (we are SO excited about that in just ONE MORE YEAR!!!) and Kate got her favorite… a Hobby Lobby gift certificate AND an eNV!!! The HL gc is from Becca and the phone was a group gift from Chris AND the Thraps! I am THRILLED!
Now, we got the Thrap family a GROUP gift this year because we knew there was something that their whole family was REALLY, REALLY wanting. This summer on a fluke run to Best Buy the guys found this game called “SingStar” for PS2. It’s kind of like karaoke but with the music videos and the real songs. We fell in LOVE! We also went out and purchased the SingStar Pop, SingStar 80’s, SingStar 90’s, and Josh got SingStar Rocks throughout the summer! The only downside was that the Thraps did NOT have a PS2, so when we would visit we would lug ours and whenever they would visit us we would SingStar it up! Sooooo… when I was perusing Craigslist this fall and came across somone selling their PS2 system, I thought… HEY… I could get ALL of the Thraps just ONE present instead of trying to find something individual for all of them! So, last night, they happily opened their Christmas present from the Wheelers! A PS2 system, the two games that they had purchased (that we had been housing since we were the ones with the PS2) AND an EXTRA set of the microphones for the game!!!
I think it was a Merry Thrapmas Christmas for EVERYONE!!!
YAY! What a good time. So happy to see Christmas cheer on the faces of the munchkins.
Don’t forget Audrey’s SUPER adorable new jean jacket, and don’t let me forget to have Josh bring the rest of Michael’s present which I already forgot once! And thank you SOOO much for the PS2! I have LOVED playing it with you guys and as soon as the kids realize that they will eventually get to play on it too (when I loosen my grip on the microphone
) I’m sure they will be completely stoked as well! We love you guys!!! Merry Christmas!
