This year our Christmas took
place Christmas Eve Day. Actually, we did our stockings Friday night; so
I guess it actually started then.
C had quite a few things in his stocking; Daddy had an OK amount. I had A LOT--of all the same thing! C got 2 Cars2 cars, a Lego separator, a light switch cover for his room, and a water gun. Daddy got an iTunes gift card, some mini Colts dry erase boards, and a water gun. I got a package of Andes thin mints. Yum! They are awesome frozen!
Christmas morning, we opened our presents upstairs in our bedroom. For a few different reasons. #1: the dog wouldn't bother us #2: it was warmer up there #3: my biggest present was already up there in our room #4: Kalei's little tree was set up in our room #5: I wanted something different
My large gift was the brown chair that now sits in our room. I call that corner my Kalei corner. I also got some new comfy pants, a new candle, a back scratcher, some soft socks, a FSU shirt, and season 10 of Friends (finally!)

Daddy got a microphone stand
for Rock Band, a new PS game, the most awesomest camera tripod, a photography
book, a new puzzle, some Starbucks K Cups, and a new CD.
C got: some new Star Wars
guys, a Star Wars movie, a microscope, some new video games, a movie, some FSU
golf balls, Cars Movie Cars, and a pillow that my Mom made him out of some of
my Dad’s clothes (Such a neat idea; I’m jealous)
And we all got a Kalei cup like these.
After we opened presents and
ate, we went to see Kalei. I had made a
Christmas wreath to put on her stone. I
really like how it turned out. It’s so her.
From there we went to
J&T’s house. She cooked us a big “Christmas”
dinner. After we ate, we just sat and
talked. We haven’t done that for a long
time. It was a nice way to end an
emotional day.
BUT: it wasn’t over. That’s when M and her familycame and caroled to us.
All told, we had a good
Christmas. In fact, C said “This was the
best Christmas.” But then paused and
said “Well almost.” Breaks. My.
Heart.
