More Christmas Fun, Part One
At our house, the fun was only beginning on Christmas Day. We are enjoying the Christmas season all the way through this Saturday (January 3rd). Here are some of the highlights.
On the 26th, we went to Grandma and Papa Don's (my husband's parents) to celebrate with them and my sister-in-law's family. We ate a delicious brunch, and my kids enjoyed playing with their cousins. This is the annual Christmas photo on Grandma's couch.
We exchanged gifts, and there were a few surprises. We encouraged my Favorite Boy to ask for last year's versions of Xbox 360 games because they are so much cheaper. Grandma, however, was willing to go to Walmart at 5AM the day after Thanksgiving, so she surprised her grandson with Madden 09, which she purchased at half-price. He rarely shows his excitement, but it peeked through a little.
Grandma scored another deal and made her granddaughter happy with this Minnie costume. For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, I am sure you aren't surprised to see my daughter enjoying another costume.
We had a few surprises up our sleeves as well. My husband and his sister conspired to get Grandma and Papa Don a new computer. We hope to have them connected to the internet soon!
On the 27th, we visited my aunt's house. My parents were there, and my brother and his family were able to come as well. We hadn't seen them since June, so we were so happy to see my niece and nephew. My nephew enjoyed my Oreo Delight dessert, and my niece loved laughing at her cousin (my Favorite Boy).
Another costume? Yes, my aunt earned this big hug with a new Sleeping Beauty costume.
We tried to take a picture of my parents, their kids, spouses and grandchildren. This was not an easy task.
We are having a wonderful week. More to come!
