Christmas, this year, was a lot of fun. It's not because the kids got a lot of presents--they didn't. We followed the same plan we had last year-one main gift & a few other small things. It's been so fun to see them so excited over what they get even though it's not a lot. I always start shopping in November & then watch the deals throughout December to make sure I get the best deals. That definitely keeps me happier-spending less money. For the most part, the best deals have been in November. Anyway, it was a nice quiet Christmas morning. The girls slept in until about 8:30AM & they finally came down to our room & climbed on our bed. They started getting very excited so we had them line up on the stairs so we could check & see if Santa had come. It's fun to watch the excitement & see their eyes light up. Since we don't buy a lot of big things for them, they usually get something they really wanted & they enjoy it so much more. And yes there are limits--sorry, Melissa, still no cell phone. =) We spent the morning putting some of their things together before we headed over to my parents' home. We got together with my family for brunch & spent the afternoon together. We went home just before dinner & then got a phone call that we needed to go back to my parents' house. We had no idea why we needed to go back. No one would give us any clues as to what was going on. After we finished eating, we hopped back into the car & headed over. When we walked in the front door, my youngest sister Deborah & her family were there to greet us. They live in S. California & we didn't think they were coming. What a wonderful surprise!! It was so good to see her with her husband & 2 cute boys.
The girls lined up on the stairs waiting for the ok to head off into the family room. Once we said "come on in" they took off as quickly as they could to find what Santa had brought them.

The girls got really excited over the family gift. This was my deal of the year. Thanks, RC Willey!
Allie got a karaoke machine. She is our little singer & she thought it was great to have a real microphone so she could perform to her favorite songs.
Deborah, her husband Greg & Max & Cole. Cute family! Thanks for coming!!
