Christmas

Greeting! I hope everyone enjoyed the birth of Jesus yesterday! It is always such an exciting time of year.

Well Christmas Eve we went to 4:30 services. The Mama of the house was afraid that it just wouldn't feel like Christmas because the service wouldn't be full. Boy was I wrong. And my loving husband was able to point this out. We had a wonderful service and it is always so wonderful. We went home and I had baked a ham with a few fixings. We were instructed to eat fast so the kids could get to presents.

Taylor of course made out like banchie!! New clothes, gift cards, some cash, a new "jump suite" (AKA a sweat suit), new books (which she was going to have a hard deciding which one to read first), and so much more.

Jackson too made out like a banchie. We opened up the new Little tykes T-ball set from Nanny. Big mistake. A ball crazed boy with a bat on Christmas... Note to self, that next year we open these type of presents LAST!!! But he loved his trucks from his auntie and he LOVED the new little people circus from his other auntie. He got some new clothes and a train from grammie and countless other presents!

And to think....This was my kids SECOND round of opening presents!!! When Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Andy were down that was round ONE! And to think Taylor flew home to her moms yesterday and she is heading for round THREE! Crazy I say. Crazy!!

Not to leave us parents out because I got treated pretty well as always. A new MP 3 player, lotion, a new "jump suit" beautiful house decorations, jewelry, clothes and shoes and so much more. I am lucky because I have TWO great mother in laws that spoil me rotten!!! So thanks to them for all the wonderful gifts!

Jamie made out good too. We were blessed to get some really cool pictures of his Dad from his step mom. They were very neat. He too got an MP3 player, socks clothes etc... But he was most excited about the new MP3 player.


Christmas morning Santa arrived with a pirate ship for Jackson and stockings filled to the brim. Taylor opened hers before she left and Jack and I waited for daddy to get home from the airport to open ours. Santa gave Jamie too many Starbucks gift cards... So mommy might have to "acquire" those. LOL Just kidding!!!

Well I will add pictures as soon as I have them downloaded!!! I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas!! I am sure the Lord has bless you all.

Merry Christmas!

Oh my gosh, that is a a lot of presents! Was Jackson opening up his early too, or did he behave and keep them wrapped until the big day? Thanks for the tip on the masher- of course it would be a Pampered Chef tool! Can't wait for Roseann to start her club!
