Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We spent a quiet day at home and enjoyed our own family as we celebrate Christmas. There are so many pictures that I made a collage of each child throughout the day.

Drew

His favorite gift was his garage for all his Hot Wheels. He literally played with it all day. He also loves his new light saber. We have finally joined the force.

Sydney

Her favorite gifts were: Martian Matter and Pixos. Both show her creativity and fun side. Her Cupcake maker bombed. After experimenting with it we concluded that it must be returned. She happily exchanged it for a Hello Kitty boom box for her room.

Haley
Her favorite gifts were: a globe, Doctors kit with a real stethoscope and her FurReal Parrot


The kids with playing with their toys

I must have been very good this year because Santa was super good to me. Each year I typically purchase my own gifts and have Jeff wrap them or I give very detailed hints of what I want and there usually are no surprises Christmas morning. This is what I hinted to and got:

My last present was a surprise. Jeff asked me what I thought it was before I opened it. I really thought it was Eclipse (Twilight series) to add to my collection. When I opened it I was thoroughly shocked.


I guess he got tired of all my complaining about my current camera. It is a Cannon Powershot, 10MP. I love it and have been playing with it all day. The nicest feature is that it has video capabilities with a microphone. My old camera did not, hence the silent films on my blog. Now that will all change. Many thanks to my wonderful husband who knows my wants and needs. Maybe next year I can return the favor to him.
