Our family put on the church Christmas play. We made a movie of it, too, so everyone who wasn't able to make it can see it, although when I was putting it together I misspelled the word "Innkeeper." I was so mad at myself for not catching it, but I did put an annotation on YouTube so people will know that I really do know how to spell. It was a SkitGuys play, and it was the perfect length and had the exact right number of parts so each of had one. I played Mary, but it was only a bit part with two lines. Since I was directing and also playing techie, that worked fine. We actually had a bigger crowd than we expected.
Jay: A socket set, a speaker for his iPod, and a year's supply of guitar strings.
Joy: A pair of boots she had been coveting, a speaker for her iPod, and an assortment of mustache items like bandaids with mustaches on them.
Sarah: A ripstick to replace the one Erick backed over that she got for her birthday, a purple coat with fur around the hood, and a speaker for her iPod.
Abby: JustDance4, a full length mirror, and an art set (black Friday special).
Rachel: A remote control helicopter, a cardboard house to color, and pair of headphones.
Timothy: A Lego Lord of the Rings set, a Darth Vader costume, and an art farm with green gel that the ants eat.
I got Erick a Brooklyn lantern (as seen on TV) and he got me a sweater. We did cheap gifts this year because of our hugely expensive vacation we are about to take.
The day after Christmas we got eleven inches of snow and I couldn't make it to work. So we stayed home and played with Christmas toys. I played JustDance4 and the girls laughed at me, but I'm determined to get better and beat them all. It is so tiring, though! When I was a kid, playing video games didn't make you tired. I'm going to have to build up some muscle if I want to beat them at this game.
