Christmas!

Christmas is now 364 days away. It's crazy how much you look forward to it and then suddenly it's all done. Christmas this year was great. Once again I was spoiled like crazy. I got all sorts of random things like a rolling pin, towel warmer, alcohol dispenser, wii games (I LOVE being a doctor in trauma center ER!), a second dance pad, toaster oven, pajamas, clothes, games, headphones, lotion, and lots of other cool stuff. I know that things I will remember though won't be the gifts, it will be the things that happen. Like:
  • Mom and dad misplacing one of my gifts and looking for it for a solid 2 hours yesterday before we started opening. (Note: it still hasn't been found!)

  • My mom and dad playing Wii and trying out Dance Dance Revolution (I am certain that Wes almost broke the mat he was stomping so hard).

  • Playing mario and sonic olympic games (and once again, pretty much demolishing Cory).

  • Watching people's expressions when they open gifts that my dad has wrapped - cause you never know what to expect! Like the "matching" socks that Cory and Christine got - and what my dad hid inside!

  • The fact that out of the 5 gifts that I got Cory the one that he enjoyed the most was the toy John Deere tractor and air seeder. This wasn't much of a surprise actually - it was just cute.

  • All the food - breakfast was great and supper was greater! The thing about supper is that there is always talk about Christmas past - memories - and I know that a few years from now we will all be laughing about something from this Christmas.

So Christmas was great and I need to send a huge thanks out to everybody for everything! It was a great day with lots of smiles and laughs.


Just when I thought the excitement for the day was over - we get the news that Macy got engaged. YIKES! She has found herself a real good guy and I couldn't be happier for her! Congratulations!


I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month. ~Harlan Miller~


Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved. ~Augusta E. Rundel~
