WHAT AN AWESOME CHRISTMAS! FIRST WITH THE SAMPLES, THEN THE PEURIFOY'S, THEN THE PRUITT'S. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! WE ENJOYED BEING WITH OUR FAMILIES.
I'M STILL HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH MY PICTURES. ALL I SEE IS LETTERS, SYMBOLS AND NUMBERS. SO I CAN'T TELL WHERE TO PLUG IN BY COMMENTS SO THEY'LL ALL GO ON TOP.
ON CHRISTMAS EVE THE PRUITT-COOPER CLAN CAME TO OUR HOUSE TO EAT TACO SOUP. ALL THE ADULTS & COOPER SAT IN THE LIVING ROOM AND THE KIDS IN THE KITCHEN. CASEY HAD A VISITOR THIS YEAR LACY WITH MADALYNN & JONAS. COOPER WAS PRECIOUS IN HIS SOCCER SUIT READY TO MEET SANTA.
THE PLAN WAS TO EAT TOGETHER, GO TO THE CANDLE LIGHT SERVICE AT CHURCH AND THEN GO TO MOM'S FOR GAMES. BUT POOR CALEB WAS SICK AND WE WEREN'T GOING ANYWHERE. SO MOM, DAD & AMY CAME BACK TO OUR HOUSE FOR A LITTLE GAME WITH CHRISTMAS CAROLS AND HOT CHOCOLATE.
BEFORE WE WENT TO BED WE LEFT OUT CUP CAKES & MILK FOR SANTA IN HOPES THAT HE'D LIKE THE VARIATION FROM COOKIES & MILK. WELL... HE DID CHECK IT OUT! WE EVEN GOT A NOTE FROM HIM!
WE TOOK SOME FAMILY PICTURES IN FRONT OF THE TREE WHERE SANTA LEFT CALEB SOME PRESENTS. JILLY LOVED ON CALEB. I CHECKED OUT SOME OF THE TOYS WITH THE BOY WHILE DADDY FED THE DOGS A BONE SANTA LEFT THEM. CALEB & MADELYNN PLAYED IN FRONT OF THE TREE WHILE WE GET READY TO GO OVER TO THE PRUITT'S TO OPEN PRESENTS.
THE GIRLS PLAY WITH CALEB WHO IS DRESSED UP LIKE LITTLE SANTA'S HELPER. MAMA & DADDY GET THEIR PICTURE TAKEN WITH MINI-SANTA. THE KIDS GET A PICTURE IN FRONT OF THE LOOT. THEY COULD HARLY CONTAIN THEMSELVES. WE HAD A SHORT STORY READ BY AUBREY AND ASSISTED BY LOLO, ABOUT THE BIRTH OF JESUS.
CINDY & COOPER WITH BECKY & CALEB. THESE BABIES ARE GOING TO BE GOOD FRIENDS ONE DAY. COOPER IS FINALLY LOOKING LIKE A LITTLE BABY. HE STILL DOESN'T CRY HE SQUEEKS.
CALEB GOT LOT'S OF NEW TOYS. MY FAVORITE WAS A LITTLE PIANO, BUT HE LOVED THE PAPER. WE WOULD PUT THE BOWS ON HIS HEAD AND HE WOULD CHEW ON THE PAPER. DADDY CHRISPY LAUGHS ABOUT IT JUST AS MUCH AS I DO.
CASEY & HIS GUEST HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. JONAS GOT THE BEST PRESENT OF ALL... A TERIDACTLE! IT FLEW... PAST TENSE! IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES THEY GOT IT STUCK IN A TREE AND ALL OF THE MEN SPENT AN HOUR TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF THE TREE. SOUND LIKE A HELICOPTER INSIDENT TO ME.
AMY & RICKY PLAY SANTA AND HAND OUT PRESENTS. CINDY WAS A LITTLE CRAZY ABOUT HER TOWEL, AMY & MOM LIKED THEIRS TOO. THE GIRLS LIKED THEIR PRESENTS TOO. LOTS OF HANNAH MONTANA, SKATES, MUSIC & DOLLS. THEY WERE FUN TO WATCH.
AFTER BREAKFAST WE WENT TO SEE GRANNY. SHE WAS UP AND READY TO SEE US. WE HAD A GREAT VISIT. WE THANKED HER FOR OUR SMALL GIFT AND GAVE HER SOME. JACKETS, GOWNS AND SWEATSHIRTS. WE LOOKED AT PICTURES OF ALL OF HER FAMILY. SHE MISSES HER BOYS JACOB & NICOLAS. GRANNY LOVED ON CALEB AND MADE US LAUGH WITH A STORY OF PAW PAW CLIMBING A TREE ONE THANKSGIVING.
I HAD MOM, DAD & AMY BACK TO OUR HOUSE FOR SPAGHETTI. CALEB AND AMY CHECKED OUT THE NEW TOYS. AFTER LUNCH WE ALL TOOK A NAP... 2 HOURS! THEN WE WENT TO WATCH NATIONAL TREASURE. IT WAS GOOD... AGAIN.
CHRISPY & I EXCHANGED GIFTS. NOTHING BIG, COACHING CLOTHES, BOOKS AND LITTLE STATUES OF A NEW DAD AND A NEW FAMILY. WE HAVE 2 WEEKS OFF TOGETHER THAT IS THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I KNOW WE'VE BEEN BLESSED THIS YEAR. WE LOOK FOWARD TO SEE WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR US NEXT YEAR.
