Christmas 2008





Jane's first American Girl doll, she named her "Cassy."
Henry got a tool set, he was pretty excited!



It's not Christmas without Dad falling asleep somewhere random and snoring a bit.

We had a great Christmas this year. It is getting even better as the kids get a little bit older. As a child Christmas was my favorite time of the year, and it still is. In fact, it is even better now that I have little one's. They are my world, they are everything to me. I feel like the luckiest Mom in the world to be their Mother. We obviously kicked off the festivities at my Mom's house with her famous dinner. She started the menu off right doing roasted shrimp this time and a new cocktail sauce, compliments of Ina! Every year we do a nativity scene with all of the grand kids. This year Jane had the privilege of being Mary. She took it so seriously. She didn't crack a smile or break character the entire time. It's amazing how much these little things that we do mean to our children. We had a great time between the Christmas crackers, Grandma reading "Twas the night before Christmas," and new jammie's. I got to host breakfast at my house which was fabulous. The strata was great, and the company was even better.
