CHRISTMAS 2008

Well, another Christmas has come and gone! It was good to be with family. As for Robert and I, we had a very fun Christmas Eve once again!
There were lots of smiles...



And a lot of family love!!!





And...it's always fun to surprise Paul.
Last year...a healthy report on dad, This year...a blessing certificate!
It's funny that just a little piece of paper can make him SO happy.
Wish I would have known that when he was younger!




The kids had a lot of fun
playing Disney BINGO!




Everyone was a winner and won some pretty fun bingo gift bags.
The adults were all winners too! Even Phil who got called out to run ambulance just as we were getting ready to begin playing. Better luck next year Phil!





I was lucky enough to receive lots of Christmas hugs! They were so cuddly in their new Christmas pajama's!






But I think Kambree received the best Christmas present of all...the "chocolate" she had been wishing for!





Ok...my all time favorite picture. Look at Kambree in the background.
We have about a dozen pictures of her with her "chocolate"! She was serious about wanting this so badly. I think she's in LOVE!









Presents for everyone!

















It's hard to catch Landon at a party...he's a busy boy!

















But all in all...it was a great holiday. Just ask Kambree and her chocolate!
We're already planning for next years party!

About next year's party...I happen to know that Golden Corral was completely empty on Christmas Eve morning. When I stopped in there, there wasn't a soul around. Maybe we should consider a morning party and eat out to spare you the massive meal clean up? I was going to mention it when it got a little closer, but hey, if you're already planning....

I love the pictures. The one of Kambree with her chocolate is my favorite! You scored a home run with that gift.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea! Could it really work for all of us!!! We need to explore this! Never to early to start thinking ahead for something as important as Christmas/Christmas Eve!

I agree and I think we need an adult party where we end with BINGO. It would be easier without kids. A few more years anyway. Then it won't matter.

I like the bingo idea, but like Nancy said then little grandma can't participate. I think if we can do a breakfast instead of a dinner, bingo won't be so hard to play.
Kambree truely is obsessed with her "chocolate". For some reason she thinks Santa gave it to her no matter what we tell her. Actually everything she picks up Santa gave it to her. Even if she didn't get it at Christmas time. Seriously a silly little girl.
Perfect party, and man I will give you guys props if you can surprise Paul with another paper present next year. He loves those. We were actually just talking about it last night.
It was a PERFECT Christmas Eve!
