Christmas 2008

We have had a great December. It has been so nice having Chad home with us, I am trying not to get use to it, but it is sure easy to do! I have been spoiled with laundry and chores done and dinner on the table when I get home. I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful man!

We have had all kinds of fun. We have been doing family movie nights and also playing lots of board games with the girls. Talk about good quality time and everyone enjoys themselves. What more could you ask for?

We have had a relaxing and wonderful holiday season thus far. Earlier this week we drove around and looked at Christmas lights. We made a stop at the "Disney House" (a friends house, her dad who dresses like Santa every year and hands out goodies to the children). So the girls saw Santa (his helper) and took their picture with Jasmine and Airel. It was very cute.

Christmas Eve was great. We were lucky enough to spend it with our very good friends the Ashton's. Crystal made a delicious Mexican dinner of flautas, shredded beef, rice and all the condiments to go along with it. Yum! We exchanged gifts and headed home to wait for Santa. When we got home we quickly sprinkled our Magic Reindeer Food (made of oats and glitter) outside so Santa would be sure to see our house then hurried to bed.

Christmas day was SO much fun. It was so relaxing we took our time opening all the gifts and played in between. Riley is quite the expert at tearing throught the gifts very quickly and Madeline was more interested in the chocolate she found in her stocking than her gifts! Santa was very good to us and we are thankful for all who had us in their thoughts!

Today has been just as good. Relaxing and full of lots of new things to play with. I have so many photos to post so I hope you all enjoy!
