Christmas

We had a great Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve with William's mom, Katherine. William's brother, Miles and his wife Jessica cooked all the food and we had a wonderful dinner! J.C. also joined us. Cheyenne got a great gift from Jess and Miles. A jack-in the box..except it was a horse. She loved it. She laughed so hard when it popped out the first time. She even slept with it that night. Christmas morning we opened gifts at home. Cheyenne got a kitchen from Santa and Hailey got a busy town Choo-Choo. Cheyenne also got a basketball goal from Katherine that we set up so she could see it x-mas morning. We didn't get it out at her house because it was so big. She loved it! She kept saying "basketball!" We then headed over to mom and dad's to do Christmas with them. Jen brough some amazing muffins and we had lots of food to snack on. Chey got a art easel! Hailey got some wrist rattles, a couple of outfits and some toys from Katie. The girls had a great Christmas. William and I had decided we werent going to get each other anything since we had bought the hot tub...well I stuck to my end. I got him a Cubs towel for his stocking and the girls got him some boxers. Well William went out and bought me a brand new DLSR! I Nikon D90. I was shocked! This camera is so amazing!!! It does so many things my D70 doesn't. He also got me a new lens. It's Nikkor 18-200mm AF-S VR lens. I feel like William got jipped but we said no presents! (He did get his truck this year..so I guess that makes up for it) We also got a few gift cards..gotta love em. We all took a 2 1/2 hour nap and then headed over to Uncle Ray and Jill's for our annual Christmas gathering. We didn't stay long. The girls had had a long day and Hailey, especially needed to get to bed. I am so thankful to have a big family to share the holidays with. Christmas is so different when you see it through your child's eyes.
