Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas, with a little bit of drama that almost spoiled the event. Persephone got a barbie doll house with a car, a dress up box full of clothes and accessories. From grandma Ellen she got a barbie, from grandma Julie she got a dress. Orion got a couple of trucks. From grandma Ellen he got a cars book and from grandma Julie he got a cute outfit. Sorry no pictures but the camara got left a home

Christmas!!!

Our Christmas was great. This is the first year that Persephone was really able to understand what was going on. Well, Jackson is not a patient person for one thing and Persephone got some of her presents a little early. She got a Leapster 2 and alot of games with it. She also got a leapfrog Tag with books. She got some poingo books, The Little Mermaid II, a camera, a ambulance, and a stroller. Orion got a shopping cart with food in it and a monster truck (that scares the crap out of him). Jackson got a netbook and a Mova globe (early off course). I got Nutrsystem and I am excited to start after the holidays).

After a really scary drive we went to breakfast where we go every year. It just wouldn't be Christmas without the Little America breakfast buffett. After that we went to the family's house and got to have our Christmas there. Persephone just loved it. She got alot of really cute clothes from grandma, Ali and Maddie. She alot got a Horton Hears a Who stuffed Horton. Orion got some really cute clothes from them as well. Jackson and I got some really great stuff as well. We are so greatful for our familys and glad that we are together this holiday season. Thanks for a great Christmas.

In the evening we spent it with the entire family at the Hardings house. We had a really great dinner, played with the kids, and exchanged presents. We also had some great news that Sarah and her sister Rachel are expecting in August a day apart. I am excited for both of them. The gift exchange was great. Jackson got a garden for his office and a gift card from Annie. I got some really cute robes for me and Persephone from Abby. Orion got a Jungle Bead Chaser from Ezra and Persephone got a Doodle Bear from Esther. We had a great night! The drive home was awful but we made it and got snuggle in our beds from a long day. We all hope to celebrat many more Christmas's with our family!
