Merry Christmas! Christmas was great and went by way too fast. We went to church Christmas Eve and opened presents Christmas morning. Grandma Shirley flew in from California so we had an extra special Christmas. Chris, Zack and her dad joined us. Jim came solo this year and partied long into the night. We missed Grandma-ma because she was visiting Eileen in Chicago.
Jenelle got lots of little presents. We didn't have that one big gift this year. So she got some sewing crafts, zhu zhu pet stuff, some games and clothes. Her favorite presents are the clothes for her Webkinz, the zhu zhu habitat and roller skates. My favorite gift is the new camera, of course. Curt got some Spanish lessons on cd. We've been having lots of fun listening to those in the car.
I really thought this was the year Jenelle was going to figure out that Santa isn't real. I figured it out because the wrapping paper was the same and I recognized my mom's handwriting on the tags. Last year I bought separate wrapping paper for the "santa" gifts. Not this year. Jenelle did make the comment on Christmas morning, "Santa uses the same wrapping paper we do." So I guess I'll have a believer for one more year. It adds to the magic I guess, but takes away a little of the emphasis on Jesus.
We did a great job of giving gifts to Jesus the month of December. Now just to try to do that all year long. Happy New Year.
