Decidedly different

We decided we would do things a little different this year. We kindof wanted it that way. And it was great.Santa came!!
It was quiet, relaxing & fun to spend time at home with our family.
Christmas morning they slept in while we made sure all was set up and ready to go.stocking stuffers Emma's Bama necklace
Not having a chance to get groceries I decided to go after dinner on C-eve. HEB closed at 8 p.m. and wouldn't reopen til the 26th..who knew?? So after heading to Walmart and Target..I realized everywhere was closed. I ended up at Walgreens for milk, bread, butter & eggs. No cornbread dressing, no fried corn, no greenbeans, no turkey. It was a bleak Christmas dinner..porkchops and salad. Oh well.
Christmas Eve night was crazy with Emma being sick and having a really hard time sleeping..crying for whichever parent wasn't in her room. I really thought we were going to end up in the ER, not from an emergency, but just from nowhere else being open. But we didn't.
Also, we lost Georgia's pink blankie..so she didn't go to sleep til late and then woke up numerous times during the night searching for it and crying. She has a replacement one but every time I would go in to give it to her, she would throw it across the room and cry. It was sad. Luckily, we found it Christmas day and all was better!!

Some highlight gifts this year: now we're cooking, Princess bed sheets, Wii game system, iphone..their new art table
It was a great Christmas and fun to share it with my brother, Jeff, and his girlfriend, Natalie. My parents came Sat. night..we had Daniel's italian dinner complete with fried mozarella and played our new Wii games til the wee hours.
