Well, it was almost a month ago but I think I remember us having a pretty good Christmas... whatever, we had a GREAT Christmas! Some of the highlights -
We got up on Christmas Eve and Cooper announced it was time to open a present. Cooper opened a Batman Lego Wii game from us. I'm proud to say that one month later I have to say it's his favorite gift. He is obsessed (and VERY good at it). CeeGee and Papa came over that afternoon. It was a hectic day of course. We opened a few more gifts. Cooper got a Foosball table and Libby got a baby doll. She immediately knew to "love" the baby, how sweet is that? When Jill (finally) showed up (some things never change, even on Christmas!) we had dinner, our traditional barbecue. I know, some people think that's weird but I've eaten barbecue on Christmas Eve every year since birth so it's quite traditional to me. Finally, it was time to put out the cookies and milk and reindeer food and go to bed.
We woke up the next morning and guess what...Santa had come! I don't know who reported to Santa but my kids were NOT as good as the gifts reflected - just kidding. Cooper got a bike, more wii games, clothes, etc. Libby got lots of cool baby toys but I have to say the wrapping paper all over the floor was more entertaining. Santa could have saved his money I guess.
The rest of the day was a blur. We ate, played and tried to clean up. Oh, and ate some more.
Friday we packed up and drove to Tennessee for round 2. Santa had filled stockings there too and somehow Cooper was able to get a sneak peak at his before anyone else! Cheater! Everyone else (and I mean everyone - Rusty, Kristin, Sophie, Lucy, Conner, Emma, John Conner, Dana, Charlie, Carson and Caroline) trickled in later that night or Saturday. More fun, fun, fun!!! The kids had a blast! They all got lots of great toys but they had just as much fun playing hide and seek.
All and all it was a great time!
