MERRY CHRISTMAS 2008!

WHAT A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS! I AM SO BLESSED! MATT AND SHANNON AND JAKE AND SARAH ALL SPENT THE NIGHT CHRISTMAS EVE AT OUR HOUSE. SO REBEKAH AND ELIZABETH WERE ABLE TO WAKE THEM ALL UP ON CHRISTMAS MORNING! THEY DECIDED LATE CHRISTMAS EVE AT GRANDMA MARY'S HOUSE THAT THEY WOULD ALL COME TO OUR HOUSE AND SLEEP. IT JUST MADE THE MORNING SO MUCH FUN TO HAVE THEM ALL WAKING UP HERE! AFTER THE GIRLS WRESTLED THE BIG KIDS AWAKE DOWN STAIRS...WE HAD CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST (EGG BAKE, CINNAMON ROLLS, AND FRUIT SALAD) ON THE PRETTY CHRISTMAS DISHES AND THEN ENJOYED OPENING GIFTS. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!! I JUST LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!
