Christmas '08 Highlights

(In no particular order...)
  • Clint's Christmas gift to me was closing in a small area of our back porch to make a new room on the house - looks great, hubby!
  • We got to see #2 perform in her last school Christmas musical - she was a swooning cheerleader!
  • Hosted a Christmas party for #1 and the basketball girls - lots of pizza, gag gifts, giggles, and Guitar Hero
  • Tortured the girls by making them hunt for their gifts on Christmas morning
  • Got to play with the cousins at Penny's house on Christmas Eve - we were amazed at B's vocabulary and outgoing personality, and G-man may very well be the cutest baby around
  • Had our last Christmas Eve at Nanny's house - while she is already missed, it was precious to have one more Christmas in her home
  • Played games with the girls and the grands on Christmas Day - Harry Potter Clue and Littlest Pet Shop Monopoly
  • Took #2 and K ice skating at Chehaw - I love to see the laughter when ten-year-old girls are having fun together!!
  • Successfully watched Bedtime Stories - third time's the charm!
  • Gave donations as gifts to many family members and friends - Bibles for the Quechua people of Peru
  • Saw the house in Callaway Lakes with the dancing lights - and the woman who brought her own chair and toddy to watch :)
  • #1 organized a Christmas dinner/gift exchange with 10 of her closest friends
  • Had new PJs for Christmas Eve
All in all, it was a wonderful Christmas... and it's not over yet! :-)
Hope yours was great too!

Wow! Looks like you guys had a fun/busy Christmas!! Love the picture of your girls! New PJ's is a good idea. I may steal that tradition in the future. :)

You had such busy Christmas, but don't you always?! :) We enjoyed spending time with y'all!

I can't wait to see your new room! What are you going to put in it?

We saw Bedtime Stories last night and thought about you. We were in Columbus with noisy teenagers. Must not be just an Albany thing. We did enjoy the movie though. :)

We do Christmas pajamas too! :) Fun tradition!
looks like you guys had a great Christmas!
I think some hanging-out-with-the nowacks-time would make your christmas break just perfect. ;)
