Christmas Evening
We headed to WDM to Brian’s parents Christmas afternoon. It was just the 7 of us, because Mark and Deb were in Tahoe with her family. We had celebrated Christmas with them at Thanksgiving. We had a nice, relaxing evening. We did open a few more gifts. Jocelyn got a DS game. She looked at grandma and says “But, how did you know?” It was pretty funny. Eli got the movie WallE that he has been wanting. And Audrey got some pretty neat picture cards that have really been helping her with her speech development. Brian and I also got a new portable DVD player for our Christmas/anniversary gift. On Friday, we got up and sang to grandma (her bday is the 26th) and then Jocelyn, Melanie and I went shopping. I go to Hallmark every year the day after Christmas to pick out ornaments for the kids. My mom started that tradition, so I have kept up with it for my kids. I also found a nativity scene that I have been wanting. We then met Brian, Craig, Eli and Audrey at Cheddars for Melanie’s bday lunch. It was YUMMY! After lunch, Brian’s parents watched Audrey so we could FINALLY take the other 2 to High School Musical 3. We all thought is was a good movie. We played games that evening. Jocelyn and Eli played sequence with us for the first time. I was very impressed with how well Eli “got the game”. he did great!!
