Well sorry it took me so long to post been super busy.
Last post was about my cousin coming in from Alabama, and waiting on all of the family to get in on Friday. Well Thursday Reyenne and I wrapped all of the presents for everyone, except the obvious HERS. She was so upset cause when it was all said and done, she was looking at everything under the tree and started crying, I asked her what was wrong and she said there is something under there for everyone but me. I guess i wasn't good enough to get presents, not even from my mom and dad. OH LORD here we go we have now hit the oh poor pitiful me. I was mean and told her that we haven't bought any of her presents yet because she was always with us, and I didn't know if we were going to get the chance to buy her anything. MEAN i know she started sobbing hysterically, little did she know we already had everything for her, we just wanted to surprise her with it. The next morning she woke up and all of her presents from us were under the tree too, she was so excited she literally got under the tree and counted and looked gooed and gawed at everything. She said mom you said you didn't get me anything, you are mean for telling me that, but thank you so much for my presents I am soooo excited, keeping her away from the tree was now our new task, thank goodness nana papa and grandma and grandpa would be here soon.
My family got to our house around 11:30 and it was great, they handed Reyenne her gifts and she said I will put these under the tree, came in the house said she couldn't put them under the tree cause of the train, Hah she wasn't fooling anybody, as soon as we turned our backs she was ripping into them. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. She was so excited that everyone was getting here, she told me mom it's officially Christmas. Grandma, mom, and I started in the kitchen, the chicken was done but we still had to do the sides, so mom was working on the eggs, grandma was working on the pie, and I was just running back in forth making sure they had everything they needed. It was so much fun. I peeked into the living room, papa was resting on the Chaise lounge, and grandpa was doing what he does best resting up for a big feast. LOL he loved Chris' recliner. We ate a wonderful lunch and just sat and visited for a while. Oh and I got grandma a digital frame for Christmas and thanks to my wonderful family had loads of pics on it for her already, she loved it. Grandpa got a golf buddy and you would think when he saw that that he had just won the lottery, Chris did a great job picking that out. I took a bunch of pictures but will have to post them at a later time. I think one of my favorite memories of this Christmas is while the women were cleaning up after lunch, I poked my head in the living room and saw Reyenne and Grandpa on the lounge reading together. I will never forget that image for as long as I live.
Later that evening after my family had left and operation reclaim the house, CHris' family came in. OH MY GOODNESS if I thought my house had thrown up presents before it now looked as if the entire neighborhood brought all of their presents with them. It was awesome, we had presents from the front door all the way around the living room. Reyenne and Hayden sat by the tree most of the night showing each other which presents were whose. It was funny. We made cookies for SAnta and made sure to leave out some apples, carrots, cookies, and chocolate milk for him and the reindeer, the kids were starting to drift in and out, santa came and brought lots of goodies for the kids. Hayden was the first kid awake and it was funny trying to explain to a three year old that santa came, so we finally convinced him to go wake Reyenne, it took her a minute then she was all about it. I think the funnest part other than opening the presents was when she realized that Santa drank all of his chocolate milk, she ran through the house to show her daddy. The kids made out like bandits, and loved everything, Santa did a great job as well as nanny, uncle jeff, aunt Tammy and mommy and daddy.
CHRISTMAS WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!!! AND IT WAS SPENT WITH ALL THE ONES WE LOVE!!!! We called the ones we love that we didn't get to see and said hi and sent loves to each and everyone of them.
NOW BRING ON THE NEW YEAR!!!!!! GOODBYE 2010 AND HELLO 2011
