Happy Friggin Holidays

Well I think that I broke my brain. I always wondered what my intellectual limit was and I guess that I found it. Sadly it isn't that impressive. I try over and over again, but I can't seem to form a new thought. I only have the same old crap rolling around up there. Not to mention my dreams have been crazy lately which is fun because I like my dreams on the abstract side. Here is a brief update on the Hokansons of Ohio.

We have begun the holiday season. Time for programs, candy, traveling, candy, parties, candy, family, candy and possibly some desserts. This past Thursday we had both Londyn and Jonah's Christmas programs. We were lucky enough that they weren't at the same time, but there was a rush from one event to the other. Londyn's was a preschool program at the Oxford Presbyterian church. They sang a bunch of songs that focused on Christ and one or two on Santa and teeth. The leader kept telling the kids "Sing louder then Londyn". Londyn has a set of pipes on her. Then off to Jonah's school program. They sang about Hanukkah, Quansa, Ramadan and many other seasonal celebrations and they also sang about Santa. We have a really diverse school here. Both programs were good. Michie's parent even came up for the evening and joined in the festivities.

We have our tree up. We had to break tradition and go to a lot instead of cutting one down in the forest. We found a beauty for 35 bucks. Our tree stand wasn't large enough for the 10 ft beauty so I forced it on. I was a little worried because there was a little wobble in the tree but I thought we probably won't have an earthquake here in Ohio so I can let it slip by. Needless to say Jonah was in the tree doing something and it fell over. Yah he was in the tree. We ran to the store purchased a bigger tree stand and resurected the tree. Jonah thought for sure he was kicked out of the family, but Michie and I just thought it was funny.

I have had fun getting presents for the kids and wife. I have found some older toys that I really liked as a kid and have gotten them for Jonah and Brick. I have them in the back seat of the van and Jonah keeps peeking at them but has no idea what they are. I hope the boys like what I got them because I know that I will. My brain is starting to hurt again. I think I blew a seal or something.
