This year's Christmas was a huge success. We spent Christmas Eve with my family at my mom's house. Chafin and his adorable family were able to fly in from North Carolina, and Quincy was there. Amy's family was planning on coming, but were all taken down with the flu. We had fun but still missed them. We were able to get to Enterprise in time to spent a little time playing games at our friends the Drakes. When we got home P.J. the elf had already arrived. P.J. is the kids favorite part of Christmas. We changed in to P.J.s and started the movie Elf in my bedroom. The kids all slept in my room and Royd and I stayed down stairs. 5AM arrived and the kids could not last any longer. They lined up on the stairs preparing to examine their loot. Dace was first, and went straight to his stocking followed by Taya, then Reese, and finally Quade. They were all so excited about their new sack packs and candy that they did not even notice the ginormous pool table in the room. It took at least five minutes before Taya spotted it. We had a good laugh over that. We spent the rest of the morning playing pool. At around 2:00 we loaded up sleds, four-wheelers, and tubes to go play in the snow.
For future memories I thought it would be fun to recap what the kids got for Christmas. I wish I had a list from past Christmas memories.
