Christmas 2008

Christmas this year brought us lots and lots of snow. Rogers was able to get his money's worth of the snow blower that he got for his birthday. I actually think he is having fun out there in all that snow.

I swept the snow off the porch but as you can see you can't even see the walk to get to the front steps.

This year for Christmas eve Rogers and I went us and spent the night with my mom & dad my dad cooked us the most amazing halibut that he caught in Alaska. It was awesome. Then we watched the all time favorite Christmas Vacation. You gotta love that movie.

First thing Christmas morning we let Buddee open is Christmas sweater. I am so goofy I wanted him to be able to wear it to my moms. He looked so cute.

This is Budddee trying to open his gift.

With a little help he got it open.

Doesn't he look so cute? I think he is smiling for the camera

We didn't have Rogers kids until later in the afternoon so I was able to spend some more time at my mom & dads. This however was the first year in all my 37 years that I didn't get to spend the entire day there. It was different for me.

This is me sneaking Brooklyn her first Diet Coke. She loved it I think she is going to be a girl after my own heart.

This is my Dad, Andrea, Kristina, Josh & Huntyr. We are watching my dad try and figure out how the calendar that I made him works.

This is my mom and Brooklyn and BrylieAnn looking at a photo album that Andrea made for my mom.

Look how cute Huntyr is holding Brooklyn

Once Rogers kids got there the presents were ripped into like lightning. I was amazed at how fast they were opened and it was over.

I think Christmas anymore has kind of lost its luster for me. I feel like all the work I do is over and unappreciated before the last gift is open.

Rogers spoiled me I don't know why we set a $$$$ limit because he went over and beyond that amount.

I have always wanted the picture of George Washington keeling by his horse and praying at Valley Forge. I looks amazing on my wall, and then of course he got me a smaller camera that I can carry in my purse, (which of course I got a new Dooney& Burke purse). I will never miss another picture moment again. (I hope). Earrings, Clothes, books wrapped things up for me. All in all it was an awesome day.

Deven has been asking for and Xbox 360 for a long time and this year I told Rogers that he deserved to have a Christmas that he will remember. Spencer and Holly are older and seem to be living there lives as they would like so we don't see them as much. Deven brings a youthful spirit into our home and I wanted him to be happy.

Deven starts the fun.
