The best gift for all ages!


Back on December 2, 2008 we didn't know at the time but we received the best gift ever. My cousin came and brought us a party gift. I told her she shouldn't have and let it float to the ceiling. All the kids loved it when they came in. It was a cute Mylar balloon of Santa. He is about three feet tall. Perfect for a house of four year olds. Well that is where I was wrong. He has been fun for Ellie, Emma, JJ, Jeron, and even Me. Ellie calls him HO HO. I call him Mr. HoHO. I can't believe the hours of abuse this poor balloon has suffered but really there is nothing funner then punching him and watching him soar.

Ellie is by far his favorite fan. She hugs him, lays on him, wrestles him, and just loves him. Every time she sees him she says HO HO.

Emma loves to send him soaring, see him go down the stairs, and sometimes an occasional punch or two.

JJ loves to beat the crap out of him. I am amazed he is still alive.


You might even find me hit him and say "Come on get up! Take it like a man!" Yeah we have some anger issues don't we.

Needless to say he is the best present ever, and when he dies we will be getting another one. Thanks Chelsea for the endless hours of fun.

We love ballons like this at our house! It is amazing how long it can keep everyone entertained!

I'm glad everyone is enjoying it! :)

You know, if he gets too low on air you can have him refilled for dirt cheap. Our grocery store does it for 50 cents.

LOL Megan! This seriously had me laughing--but it also sounds like something we would do too!~

Haha... I can't believe it's still in one piece with JJ telling him to take it like a man and then kicking it! That's hilarious!!!
