Since Justin, Tabitha and Jack were in AZ this year for Christmas, we opened our presents on New Year's Day. Everyone was here to ring in the New Year (except Alan). We slept in till about 9...then we opened presents.It was mostly a "Nemo" Christmas for Jackson...he got the movie (from his AZ grandparents, a Dori and Nemo blanket from us and this cute Nemo pillow from Jarren and Steph.
Jarren and Steph got some much needed stuff and gave some darling home-made gifts. It is just so fun watching a little one tear into a package. Jackson is so meticulous about it (he gets that from his mommy) removing each piece of wrapping paper completely....it made Christmas last even longer:)
Steve loves to get $$ so he can buy MORE books! I got some beautiful gifts....but my greatest joy was having my family there...Alan we sure missed having you with us.
Justin and Tabitha wished for and got $$ to pay for their amazing double stroller....but they didn't just get $$, they had to work for it. They went on a treasure hunt throughout the house, figuring out clues that led them to more clues and cold, hard cash... it was so much fun to plan, play out and watch (thanks, Stephanie for being the creative genius behind it)Happy New Year.....2010 will be wonderful!
