Christmas Day
Well, Christmas day was a great success! Everyone loved their gifts and I EVEN GOT ONE this year! I couldn't believe it. :) Steve historically isn't big on Christmas (any holiday really) and often doesn't really get anything for me. This year, he did get me EXACTLY what I wanted though!
Santa brought us a Wii! WHICH WE LOVE and I really wanted Guitar Hero - so that is what Steve got for me! :) I got him Call of Duty - I think he actually out did me this year! :)
Addison loved her Elmo - but didn't have the extreme reaction we were expecting. She clearly enjoyed him though. We also got her a Barbie four wheeler (lil quad) which I thought she would be crazy over....instead she refuses to even sit on it lol. All in good time with that one I suspect.
I was a little disappointed that she didn't love it though. Shayna seems to really love all of her stuff and was super stoked about the new Nano and the $200 gift card to Stonebriar as well as a whole host of other stuff she wanted. She was actually the "big winner" this year. But she did have birthday and Christmas to open.
On that note...I CAN'T BELIEVE my baby is 14!!!!! I don't want to even think about what that means for us and our time remaining with her. She is so much fun and such a good kid/young adult. She is one of those kids that makes having a teenager fun instead of dreading each day with them. We are blessed and pray we continue to be blessed with such a great kiddo! She's my friend...and my favorite teenager on this planet! Happy Birthday sweetie!

Glad the wii was a huge success!
You need to bring the mini quad over to the Howard House and let Gavin and Grayson school Addison on 4 wheeling through the trees and up and down the hill. After an afternoon with these wild boys she'll be ready for the mountains.
:) Love you!
I miss seeing you too, but it sure was/is nice to have all this relaxed time at home!
