Christmas -- Round 1 and 2

Christmas Round 1 was quite a surprise. My mom left bags full of stuff for the kids. They were very excited with their new things. They enjoyed the puzzles and games that rainy afternoon while Chloe enjoyed her beautiful, new Bitty Baby. Both have matching dresses! Later in the week, they all enjoyed shopping for new clothes, shoes, and coats with the money she included. To be boys, they are quite selective in choosing clothes and like the preppy look. Thanks, Nama!


Then there was Christmas round 2. My dad aka Papa arrived Friday to celebrate Christmas with us. Little did he kow how exciting it would be. (I ended up in the ER with gall stones.) After that excitement, things died down and the normal fun was had. Dad, the kids, and I went shopping Christmas Eve and I am now the proud owner of a new Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi 10.1 MP Digital SLR Camera!! I am enjoying this quite a bit. We attended Stafford Baptist for Christams Eve service. We have done this for the past several years. After this, we ate dinner at TGIFriday's--yea, I had a hard time with this being Christmas Eve dinner, but, you gotta do what you gotta do. From there, you can see the festives in pictures above. The kids had a great Christmas and were very excited about their gifts. We spent the day playing games, chiling in jammies, and eating!! What better way to spend Christmas day:))

Pardon my late comment, but there is nothing wrong with TGIFridays on Christmas Eve. In fact, the Jessups now have a new Christmas Eve tradition following the candlelight service...Japanese food!! Sakura on route 3 was about the only thing open and we were hungry at just the right time.
