OK so I told you all that I would post some pictures of our Christmas with Greg's parents and his brother's family and now I am delivering on the promise:)
Firs,t let met explain why we do Christmas so early with his folks--well we do it because we can:) and because Jerry can't stand to wait! The rule is that everyone must have bought all the gifts (of course:) and the kids have to be out of school. So Friday was Abby and Charlie's last day of school so naturally we had to begin the festivities after dinner on FRIDAY!
Friday night we spend the night with his parents along with his brothers family and enjoyed lots of food (lots of Maw Maw's Christmas candy, Homemade Chex mix(so yummy), hot chocolate and cheese dip, we played football (in the living room and outside:) and opened presents--everyone's favorite!!!
When we woke-up Saturday we had a big breakfast and then Maw Maw read the Christmas story. She read Cowboy Christmas which is a Texas/Cowboy twist on the birth of Jesus--it's very cute...the kids love it! We then began to take turns opening gifts and it was so fun to watch everyone open. I love picking out stuff I think they might like....although I always make sure they have a gift receipt just in case:)
Abby was thrilled to get a digital camera and some scrapbooking stuff from M&P--she was ecstatic actually! Today we are going to Christmas in the Park at Six Flags and she is already planning on taking her camera and making a scrapbook with the pictures! So fun!
Reese got a Buzz Lightyear, a remote control car and a few more really cool toys--he hasn't put down Buzz yet:)
Greg and I also got some great stuff! I got a nail polisher--makes your nails nice and smooth:) a pretty ring and money for some clothes or cowboy boots (jury is still out on that:) Greg got money and a few things for the our car. We all also got tickets to go see Cirque du Soleil in February! Thanks Debbie and Jerry! Oh I almost forgot we also got a gift card to Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant) We all love fondue so it will a great family night out--thanks Doug and Anglea!!!
