Christmas was great this year! Christmas Eve we met at Michael and Elizabeth’s house, which made it even better! We have always had our Christmas celebration together at Jody’s and my house so this year it was a special treat to be able to have it someplace else! Not that I don’t love having everyone at my house, because I do, but it was still fun to have it someplace different!
The kids had such a good time! Michael and Elizabeth gave each of the little guys a remote control helicopter – each on a different frequency so they could all fly them at the same time, but have control over their own! Those helicopters were flying all over the place! I think every one of us was a target – or maybe a landing strip? Thankfully, they were small and didn’t hurt . . . much!
Jeff was the only one not able to come and we missed him, but it was great for the rest of us to be together! The little ones loved opening their presents! Toni had made each of the kids – including our new baby due in February – a long sleeved t-shirt decorated with cute little designs on the front and on the back of each shirt she had, “Aunt Toni loves me!” She did a great job! The shirts turned out really cute!
Jody and I had given each of the grandkids a toy, a book and an outfit! I told the girls I had ulterior motives for the outfits because as soon as our new baby, Gabby arrives, I wanted them to wear the outfits for a group picture! We haven’t had a group picture of the grandkids in a while and I love having updated pics to keep at work. I’m really proud to be a grandma and I have some wonderful grandchildren! I am blessed beyond measure!
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I’m praying for a wonderful New Year in 2008!
