Wait, wrong kid.
All our kid wanted this year was a Darth Vader costume. It was really the only thing he asked for this Christmas. Actually, Granny was the first person that he told that he REALLY wanted a Darth Vader costume, so Granny was the one from whom it was to come. So, the hunt was on!
I went to a couple of stores in Cool Springs that had the costumes, just not the right size. Ugh! Granny had no luck, either. Trying to prepare our little guy, I told Caleb that it might be hard to find such a costume this time of year. He said he understood, but continued to hold out hope.
Finally, I went on-line and...Viola! I found the right size! The perfect Christmas present for our Biz was on its way!!
Since it was from Granny, he had to wait until we went to Kentucky to open it. After opening gifts under our tree in Tennessee, he seemed to handle it pretty well that his request had not been filled. He simply told us in the car ride to Kentucky that, "those Darth Vader costumes sure are hard to find." And he left it at that. Ooooh...the suspense was killing Eric and I. We couldn't wait for him to open his costume. But we played it cool.
Our first Kentucky stop was Granny's house for lunch and then we were headed to Memaw and Pepaw's house. The boys weren't suppose to open their Granny gifts until New Years' Eve when we were to celebrate Christmas at her house. However, once we got to Granny's house, we were not able to contain his Red Ryder any longer. Each boy got to open one gift before we left for Flemingsburg.
Here was Biz's reaction to his favorite gift of Christmas ever:
And Seth was pretty happy with his magna doodle, too.

Oh that is one cool Darth! Corb and Ben watched Star Wars: New Hope for the first time last week and were all about it. Maybe they can play "Star wars, the clone wars" (which for some reason Corbin says with an English accent) sometime soon ;)
