Our Christmas

Well, I am finally getting around to fighting this DIAL up internet...so, our Christmas was pretty uneventful...we always spend Christmas Eve with my folks steaming up oysters and shrimp in our shed...YUMMY! Always my favorite part...then we opened our gifts. Well, my gift had to be installed so I got cmas from mom, dad, and Wade early...a CD player for my car! Hooray! I have been driving my old Honda for 6 years now with no CD player! NOT NOW~! And Santa Wade brought me a IPOD Nano to hook into my new radio! And its pink! CUTE!

Anywho- The kids had a large Christmas as usual...they got a plenty! We have never had alot of Santa stuff...but its always enough. Wade and I just made our minds up after Bentlee was born that we did not need to start setting huge standards on Cmas morning...and we have pretty much stuck with that.

The best part of Christmas Eve and morning...my mom and dad spent the night with us again! Their house has been pretty boring since Jessica is "grown" and they like to enjoy Bentlee and Rylee on Christmas morning...and I can't tell you how much I treasure the memory of them being here. Last year I prepared a huge breakfast but I forgot to buy the stuff this year...next year, I will be more prepared.

We spent the evening with Wade's family...and all came to a bitter sweet ending. Without a doubt, it was an even better Christmas than last year...as always, we had so much to be thankful for...especially my dad's health. Last year, we were not sure what 2008 held for us...but He provided another Christmas spent with family and friends and good health...Amen.
