Christmas 2007

Here are some highlights from the last week. Christmas was magical and we loved sharing these special days with so many of you.

We started last Friday with a trip to Zoo Lights with the Price's and Pelton's. Addy had a bit of a melt down, but I guess that is the new normal when you have a toddler. Here is the best family photo we could get:


Addy and Savannah riding the horses:

On Saturday we had the Pelton's over so we could exchange gifts.


Jeff gave Scott a very special gift. Jeff created a little "Seahawk Support Package". Being a Cowboys fan, he seems to think us Seahawk fans need help. Yeah, right!


The gift included a blind fold, kleenex and cowboy blue anti-depressant pills:



Brandy and I helped Gracie and Gavin make gingerbread people. We ran out of the candy in the "kit" so I improvised with left over halloween candy like Nerds and Whoppers.


Look closer at Gavin's gingerbread man . . . interesting, huh? (We about died laughing.)


Then it was on to more presents and fun on Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning.

Addy hanging out with Grandpa T on Christmas Eve. And later she gets a ride with Daddy to check out the tree.

Addy's personal lottery tree. (Every year my Dad makes a lottery ticket tree and we scratch tickets all day.) He made a little one just for Addy.

And the big hit of Christmas . . . the box!


We even had a white Christmas, with beautiful snow in the evening. It was truly amazing. Looking forward to a wonderful New Year in 2008!
