xmas 2008

Christmas eve was a little different this year. We normally have it with Jeff's sister, but she was sick this year. So it was just us. She had sent to presents home when Jeff and her had gone to see their brother, earlier in the day. We did do the traditional morning breakfast at Denny's and then didn't eat till dinner, which was KFC like usual. After dinner, we made cookies for Santa and opened Cici's presents.

Xmas morning started with Ally climbing into our bed at 3:15. At 3:30am it started to pour outside. At 3:40am I realized that the car might start flooding, because we have a neighbor with a tree that has very large leave that get stuck behind the tires. So out of bed to the freezing cold. lucky I did!
Ally and I finally fell asleep around 5am. And got up around 6:45. We had to drag Jeff out of bed.
Ally got her Easy bake oven. Katie I played a little joke on. Her last present was supposed to be the game guitar hero world tour. So when it was time to open the gift, I even told her now remember you have to share! Then she opens it to find the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrals, HUH????, in her hurray she didn't notice the note, which read "oh no Santa goofed and on the other side, try Con's crib." When Con's not here I normally cover it with a blanket. She ran over and found an empty box (I forgot I'd stuck that one in there), and then found Guitar Hero World Tour the complete band set. I had to do something, if I had put it under the trees she would have known I'd gotten her the complete set by the size.
Katie got some gift cards (for wii accessories and her ipod), a book, pjs etc. Ally got a couple of bears, gloves, scarf, baby alive let's go potty, a spongebob plug and play game, and a mp3 player.
Me, jammies, thermals, shoes, hairdryer etc. And Jeff got a paper shredder, grooming kit, Dallas cowboy pj's, tshirt and dvd or the greastest games.
Already starting to take down the xmas stuff. The tree is still up, but the lights, ornaments, stockings and angel are all boxed up ready for the move. Some might find this strange, but as a kid once the last present was done down came the tree.
Currently Jeff and Katie are playing Guitar Hero, Ally has already feed, changed and played with "Ann" her baby alive, and made cookies for her dessert in the easy bake oven. Now she is into playing with her Spongebob game.
