Christmas is Over

Well Christmas is over. Why does it seem to take forever to get here and yet it does not last that long? We had a wonderful Christmas.

On Friday the 22nd we went to Macon to see Momma Joy and Granddaddy Jim. The girls got to open there gift as soon as we got there. Madison got a littlest pet shop toy which she loved. Allison got a cell phone! The look on her face was priceless! She was so excited she almost cried. Momma Joy and Granddaddy Jim did good! We got to see Jay, Kim, and Erica on Saturday and Sunday too! When we got home Sunday we had no heat. Somehow the furnace tripped off and had to be reset. What a hassle.

I had to work on Monday, Christmas Eve, until noon and then we went to Wesley and Wendy's house for Christmas with the Wells side. Grammie, PawPaw, Joel, Katelyn, Wesley, Wendy, Ansley, Aunt Sherry, Uncle Jimmy, Marc, Jodi, Andrew, and Lucas were all there. We had a house full. We ate a wonderful dinner and watched to kids open presents. There was paper and presents everywhere.

Later that night we had to go to Christmas Eve services at our church, Cornerstone United Methodist Church. After church we stopped by Tyler's house so that he could meet and spend a little time with Allison. We got home about 8:00. Just in time to get the cookies, milk, and reindeer food out before Santa arrived. Allison was the first to be out. Madison took a bit longer. Keith and I were soon to follow. Allison got up around 1:30 am to find that Santa had indeed stopped by, however, he wrapped all the presents! She thankfully decided to climb in the bed with us and wait until 8am.

The girls were overwhelmed. We all enjoyed to presents being wrapped. Everyone was able to see exactly what they got and appreciate it.
I was informed that Santa has a better sense of style when it comes to rock star clothes. Allison says that is because he has girl elves. Santa brought everything from games to there Nintendo, clothes, Moon sand, school supplies to luggage. Keith and the girls were good to me. I got a robe, blanket, slippers, bath and body work stress relief lotion and body wash, a silver cross necklace, and a gold leaf nativity cross. Keith got 4 pair of pants, since he has lost so much weight his other will not stay up, an MP3 player, an electric razor, and 10 pair of boxers.

We were able to stay around the house and enjoy the gifts from Santa and a nap, before we had to go to Pop and Grananne's house. We had a great time. We got to see Natalie and Griffin. Madison and Griffin I think bonded! Madison just loved talking to him. We had a great dinner and got to open gifts. The girls just loved their Northface jackets and fur lined crocs. By about 8:30 we were all about asleep. I had to work the next day so bed it was. Lucky for us Keith was able to take off until Jan. 1st. We will have to take the girls to Macon that day for a visit with Mommy Joy and Granddaddy Jim. Thanks to them for helping us out until school starts back on the 7th.

I will try to update soon!
