I just bought me a new 850 XP a few weeks ago so that's all I get, the wife says don't expect much, lol.

I got the wife a new helmet and I knew that would be just what she wanted So I am also installing central vac in our house, she has been bugging me for one of those for a while now.

My Daughter is getting a new 110 Gio mini hummer that I bought for her way back at the start of Oct and have actually kept it a secret as hard as that's been, I want to just give it to her already, I have no patience, lol.

I paid a little more for it being that I got it from a dealer and not mail order but I got 1 year warranty and any problems just take it back and they will fix it, 5 mins from my house, to me it's worth the convenience to pay a little more and let them deal with any issues it has, got it for $875.00 tax in with the helmet and goggles, I know online I think they go for around $600 without the helmet and goggles.

Here is a pic of her on it when we were looking, I went back later that day and got it, funny thing is she doesn't like my new 850, she says she just wants the little blue one we looked at, I gave her the whole line that we can't afford it right now, she is gonna go nuts when she see's it



The boy will get her old toys

He wants a remote control boat so if he's lucky I might look for one of those, the water is a little hard this time of year but he doesn't seem to care


here hon- here's your riding helmet and a vacuum


your kids are gonna be off the wall- sounds like it's gonna be an amazing morning
you rolling the atv into her bedroom or out near the tree?
It would be funny if you just wrapped the seat up and gave it to her- watch the look on her face as she thought it out and realized the rest of the atv was somewhere else

I read that and thought; "at least he didn't buy her a vacuum".

We gave our girls a trampoline for Christmas one year and just wrapped the springs up in a box. First off it was way to heavey for them to even pick up and the looks on their faces when they opened it up and saw a box of useless springs was priceless.

I think we should plan a trip up to the kittery trading post on the 11th
Got him a Remington 770, in .30/06. Has a black synthetic stock and comes with a Bushnell scope already bore sighted. A rifle is the gift that keeps on giving...

You're a mean one, Specta Grinch,
You real are quite mean,
You're as warm as the snowfall,
You're as crafty as a fox,
Specta Gri-----nch,....

Well that's all I could come up with. Actually I love doing things like that. We've done a 20 note treasure hunt for them to find their gifts. Each note has a hint that leads to the next one until they finally find the gift. It was a hoot. Especially when they were too young to read....

To all who give to charities during Christmas, a warm racks-off, Moose appreciation award. Whether it be our soldiers away from home, families in financial difficulties, hospital programs, etc. The Moose family gives too. It's difficult to not see a need in these days. Keep up the good work!!!

Was gonna put it by the tree in a empty fridge box but I like the idea of just giving her the seat, thanks I might do that.

It would be funny to wrap it up in a box with the wife inside and have her drive it out one end, LMAO.

No new ATVs around our house, but the wife did order me a set of Elka shocks for the Polaris Rzr XP 900. Hopefully we'll have a break in the weather so I can try them out before next spring. The 14" of new snow we got this morning isn't helping ...
