So Christmas...



I had the best Christmas I ever had this year. For Christmas Eve we went to Terry and Melinda's in San Diego and it was so much fun! It was a little bit overwhelming at first with all the people. Even though I've met everyone already at Grandma Julie's funeral it was like meeting them all over again. Everyone was so nice an welcoming. A funny thing is though everyone kept saying look how big he's getting (Blake) and that was actually the first time they've ever met him. The last time I saw everyone I was still pregnant. LOL. But in that family being as big as they are, I can see why they think they've already met him. It's hard to keep track of who's new and who's old. It's funny too cause someone will come up and hug josh and then josh will ask Jason or someone, "hey who is that?" and then they'll say, "one of the cousins."




And then there was Christmas morning. Kaleb wasn't with us this year but we still set everything up just as if Santa came for him. We thought Blake would really go for the paper on his present but was more interested in the bow. I started it for him and he ripped it a little bit. He actually started to cry at first.




Kaleb came a little later and made out with a grip of presents. From us he got a Mazuno baseball glove, Iron man pajamas, clothes, a memory game, and what we like to call, a snow jacket. From Santa he got a soccerball, football, two baseballs, a nerf gun (he wrote a letter to Santa asking for it), and some other stuff I actually don't remember.


And then Christmas day at Tammy and Terry's. We played white elephant this year and we got a coin sorter and shiatsu massage chair which Josh uses it every day. There were TWO magic bullets out there. Michelle and Susie ended up with them. And Michelle ended up with MY Dirt Devil Cone! I wanted it! AHHH! I guess I'll just have to go buy one now, thanks Shell. :) It was really fun though, I actually picked Trevor's gift and it was a pair of dancing boobs! I stole Terry's massage chair and he got stuck with them. it was quite halarious. Me and Josh got To Die For shirts and I was really excited cause I've always wanted some of those. I feel cool now, you with the in crowd, :) lol. Next year I think I'll want a To Die For zip up hoodie. (note to Michelle) lol!


Then we went to my brother's house to give them their gifts. Ally wanted a baby panda to go with her "mommy" panda. She was stoked. Colin wanted the Indiana Jones Whip and he loved it. All in all it was a great Christmas. I can't wait until next year!

CHRISTMAS WAS SO FUN!!!
I have an almost identical picture of you and Josh. lol!
Blake was the life of the party. He is so cute!!! I think I'm going to be a lot like you in "documenting" all the 1st's in my kids lives. It's cool to see it with Blake and watching Kaleb get older. It's all very exciting for Aunt and Uncle!!!!
