Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

On Christmas Eve, we went to Loretta & Harold's for dinner. Bruce's mom and dad were in town for the holiday and we had a huge meal together. After leaving their home, I headed home with Emmalene to get her in bed and start getting ready for Santa Claus. Bruce and Madison stayed a little longer at Loretta's to visit with his parents.

On Christmas morning, we got up to see what Santa had brought. Madison got a Wii, a movie, an extra game for the Wii and some smaller items. Emmalene got a little car. It's kind of like the dashboard with controls to turn the signals on/off and vibrations and sounds. She also got a box with shapes that you slide into the holes. She got a few books and other small items too.

Normally in the past, I take photos during present-opening-time, but this year I set up the video camera and just enjoyed the moment. That was my gift to myself - watching the girls without having the camera blocking my view!

We had breakfast and shortly after Bruce's mom and dad came over to spend the afternoon. Later that night, Loretta and Harold's family came over for dinner. The kids played with the Wii and and everybody visited a little longer. My mom and dad came over to see everybody and stayed for a little bit.

The food was set up buffet style in our kitchen with appetizers for dinner.

Emmalene was in heaven!
