Christmas 2008

We had a pretty good Christmas here at our home. Christmas Eve was spent with Robert's mom and sister. We all went out to dinner then headed to Grandmama's for gifts. The boys could hardly contain themselves through dinner. And Audrey? Well she handled it all very well. She got impatient with me and our waitress, Roxanne picked up the spoon and started feeding her and she didn't mind at all. Heck, as long as someone is feeding her she's fine. She looked so sweet in her velvet dress that Grammie made. The only downside was that it was a long evening. We are going to have to figure out a different time next year so everyone can get a good night's sleep.

Christmas morning the boys woke us up around 8. I was thankful, I thought it was going to be much earlier. They ran into the living room to find Wall-E sitting there waiting for them. Harrison got a Nintendo Ds and Charlie got a Leapster2. We had a great time with our gifts. After opening, we enjoyed some Monkey bread.

I started the mad dash to clean up and get ready for Christmas dinner. My parents and sister and her family came over around 2. We always start with our stockings first, then dive into the gifts. The boys got the Playmobil circus from my parents. Oh boy, can you say excited? My sister surprised me with a popcorn maker. I have always secretly wanted one, and the funny thing is that I was with her when she bought it and I never would have guessed in a million years. We enjoyed a Honeybaked ham dinner and some yummy desserts. We got the giggles over my mom's frosting which had candy cane chunks in it. It always seemed to get really quiet whenever someone would take a bite and all you could hear was, "CRUNCH, CRUNCH." It was a wonderful day that ended with my niece and Robert playing a round of Guitar Hero. Maddie won too. ;) I almost forgot! Charlie's tooth fell out that night. He was so excited and relieved , it has been worrying him ever since he first found that it was loose. Just look at how proud he is.
