{Santa Came Early}

Yep, that's right....Santa came early for Derrick!


Derrick has been looking for a good used snowmobile for awhile. We really didn't want to put too much money into one since winter is short and some years there just isn't all that much snow here. His Dad got this in awhile ago on consignment and we've been going back and forth trying to decide if we should buy it or not. With all the snow over the weekend, there was no way we couldn't try it out....and I'm thinking there's no way it's going back now either! The kids all loved it, especially Brock. He and Derrick headed up the road (way faster than I'm ok with, really, when I went with him, we hit 80 or so?!?! I'm better off just not knowing), when they stopped the conversation went like this....
Brock~ "That was really fast, Dad!"
Derrick~ "Did you like it?"
Brock~ "Yea, it was AWESOME!" "Dad?"
Derrick~ "Yea, Bud?"
Brock~ "This is the very best Christmas present EVER!"
Yea, I think we're keepin' it!

7 nice, polite comments! (otherwise, don't bother!):

Thats pretty cool. We used to do a big snowmobile trip once a year, but we would just rent them. Congrats new owner!

How's the kidney stone, and I really need your address too.

That is awesome. How fun for the boys. I hear ya sister, it is a little bit scary how boys can go so fast on those things. I sure they love every minute though.

How fun! With all this snow, it may get used quite a bit, you may end up having to ride it to church. he,he
