Christmas 2008

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!

Christmas Eve:

We started off by going to our Uncle Scot and Aunt Rena's house for dinner and gift exchange. Then we headed home to my Mom and Chris's house to get ready for Christmas and celebrate their anniversary. The house was full with Michael, Scotty, Mama, Poppy, Mom, Chris, Us, and of course all the dogs.

We read The Night Before Christmas, left some cookies and carrots out for Santa and his reindeer, and then tucked the little ones in. They sure didn't look very tired...but they soon fell fast asleep.

We finished wrapping gifts and hung out.Randy even found some mistletoeMe and my Mommy

Christmas Morning:

Gavin wakes up...

He found Uncle Michael's slippers and hat before he does anything else. Then he spots his tools!!

Poppy shows him how to work some of his tools

He is in LOVE!

Grace wakes up...

"Oh My Goodness Sakes""Thank You, Daddy"

"MiMi, I love my new cowboy hat"

"And I love my Fancy Nancy hat"

Grace was so excited to give Aunt Paige the Frenchy dog she picked out for her.

We had a relaxing day enjoying one another and playing with our new toys. The girls finished making dinner and then we had friends and family come over for a big feast. It was definitly a Merry Christmas!

Day After Christmas:

We headed over to my Dad and Carol's house and spent the next few days with them and my brothers.

We went swimming in December (don't you just love FL)

A little bowling, anyone?

Elf Fun was one of their favorite gifts

Playing with the gerbils...which totally cracked the kids up.
