On Christmas morning the girls were up bright and early! They woke up the rest of us, so we tortured them by making them stay in their room until we lit the fire, got our camera's ready, and made a pot of coffee! Then we let them out. They were so cute in their little matching p.j.'s that Mr. and Mrs. Bushe from down the street gave them. They were bubbling over with excitement. The squeals pierced our ears! Wrapping paper began to fly as the girls tore into their presents. Ellie got a new bike and a pink helmet and a couple of games for her DS. Emma got a new DS and a game for it and a Chinese babydoll. Actually both girls got dolls, but Ellie gave hers to Emma because she decided she's too old for dolls. (I say gave, I mean sold Emma her baby doll.) Both girls were thrilled because Emma really loves baby dolls and Ellie really loves money! Ha! The boys each got some money and a shirt and cap. Emily also got some money and a crockpot cookbook and a Christmas mug (she collects them).
After the last gift was unwrapped, Keith made us all a big breakfast! It was delicious! Then someone turned the music on and our kitchen became a stage. Our boys are a bunch of hams! I've got the funniest video of Tyler dancing to Thriller! This blog will only let me download short video's so unfortunately I won't be able to post it here, but take my word for it... it should be on America's Funniest Home Videos. We laughed so hard!
Then we all got ready and Ty and Em went to have lunch with Emily's family and we went to Marietta to have lunch with my sisters and their families! It began to snow as we were traveling. Wow! A white Christmas! We all met at Jeannie and Jays and brought a dish or two. It was like Thanksgiving all over again! Yummy. After lunch we played Catchphrase and had a blast. Every time we get together, our family grows... Tom's kid's Chris and Amanda brought dates. Amanda's boyfriend has a son around 13. He was really shy, but once we started playing the game, he had us doubled over. The game is such a great icebreaker! After that we bundled up the kids and all went outside for a snowball fight! Jeannie and Jay just added on to their deck. It's awesome! We had to finally head home, but hated to leave everyone.
