Well Christmas Eve was spent giving gifts to those who we weren't going to see on Christmas, or so we thought we'd see everyone. So we first headed over to Grandma Pectol's who was so happy we came. She gave the kids hugs, kisses, and a wonderful piggy bank that they all loved. She loved our family picture and was excited for her party that night. We then headed over to Ann's to wish her a Merry Christmas. She was eating, of course we always get there as she gets her food. So I chit chatted for a while with her until John got there. When we opened her gift for her she started Crying. It had been a long time since we gave her a family picture and she was so grateful. It broke my heart in a way because we don't see her enough, and John doesn't like seeing her in a hospital bed so it's a big ordeal for me to get him over there. We headed home to find out that it was going to snow. So we cancelled our Christmas party until saturday, which was a good thing because we got 8inches from that storm!!! That's added to the 22 inches we had the previous week!
So Christmas was spent over at my parents house with my Sister and her family, and of course my parents. We had a great dinner and opened lots of gifts. The girls love the dresses my mom made and the shoes to go with it. They play with the easel and Barbie house my sister got EVERY day! Joey loves the little car garage that Christine and Mark got and he loves the battery powered toothbrush my mom and dad got. John and I love the boots they got for him too. My mom also made comfy pajama pant for him, i told her to make me some because I was jealous :) One gift that I thought was so great was Katy's gift of homemade cookies. She made them in Lewiston, ID and sent them to the kids for christmas. She also made us all a cute calander with all of our kids' pictures in it. She gave my kids Mickey mouse memory which they LOVE!! Thank you Katy.
We went home and had a relaxing evening together which was so nice. Thank you everyone for everything!!
