Every holiday needs a superhero!

[navygreen]

Christmas cards have continued to trickle in these past few days. Among those, we've received cards from kristchan, cateyes25, flopbrain, and _stacy. The card from Kris plays music and comes complete with a website (no, really!). The boys thought that was very cool.

But the card from _stacy came in a package that warned me not to open it without the boys. So we opened the package together, and each pulled out a soft, wrapped gift with his name on it. I opened the card (finding the spiffy picture of Mr. Cole on the envelope!), and I also found a trinket for myself: a Hermione LEGO® keychain! Inside each of the boys' packages, they found these:


Superhero capes!

Personalized superhero capes! What a cool idea! The boys were instantly in LOVE with them, and they put them on quickly. What followed next were several minutes of superhero mayhem, lots of yelling and running around, and several flicks of "Spidey hands."

Thank you so much, Stacy! What a FANTASTIC idea! :-)

Jack's 'Spidey' stance.


A.J. punches the night.




And then he flashes 'Spidey' hands as well.


Jack says, "I can fly!"


The epic battle begins.




Even while playing XBox 360 later, Jack is still wearing his cape.

Ooh!! I see a Breyer in the background of that last one!

I've got two of 'em - from my own childhood.

I have whole herds of them in my living room. Much to my husband's chagrin.

only you would be able to pick out half of a small "toy" horse from an entire set of pictures. lol :-p

I know! It's terrible ;)

what an awesome idea! Those are so great!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

They LOVE them. :-)

I was starting to get worried they wouldn't get there in time, glad to see they made it :) Also, super glad the boys liked their capes. I do find it highly entertaining though, that the superhero that comes to mind for them is one that isn't caped!

Sadly, there was not a Draco keychain... I figured Hermione to be next best.

And can you believe I already had the perfect icon in my LJ arsenal? Darkwing Duck to the rescue!

Personalized superhero capes!!! That is soooo awesome! What a great idea! They look like they really enjoy 'em. =)

I know! I would never have thought of something so cool!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

I know. Can you believe it's been over two years even since the picture in this icon? *sniffle*

ha! I think my 32 year old boy would like that present!

I don't know if she made them or ordered them somewhere...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stacy/]

I got them off Etsy, there's a few people that make them - and adult ones too :)

I know! They were such a neat, neat gift idea!
