Christmas 2008

Andrew was so excited to wake up Christmas morning to a train table. For the past few months he has been crazy about trains, mostly because his cousin has a train table and tons of trains so when we go play that's what he would do for hours. So that's what he got. He loves it. His excitement and expressions that morning was priceless. I was able to get it on the video camera but not on my digital so I just took pictures of him playing with it. That's all he would do all day. Although he would come open a present then go play, then come open another one, then go play and did that until his presents were all open. All Christmas day he was glued to the table. And still is. First thing in the morning when he wakes up he asks for his trains and goes to the table. The only time he is away from it is to eat and sleep. I'm so glad he loves it. And the excitement for it is still there.

Zoey's first Christmas was perfect. She got a soft plush baby doll, clothes, books, and a few other baby friendly baby toys. She loved tearing the paper apart. She was so dang cute holding onto her gifts and playing with everything around her. She was such a happy smiley baby like always. Christmas is always extra special with a baby around. She has such an amazing spirit with such love in her eyes.

My momma made me the softest blanket ever, I sleep with it every night it keeps me so warm. She also got me a cook book from my most favorite person on The Food Network EVER! Paula Deen! Oh my gosh. So long story.... My momma went to Georgia in October for a sisters mini vacation to see Wicked. Well while they were they they found out Paula Deen was doing a book signing so they went. My momma got my 'My First Cookbook' by Paula. So she signed it an gave me a smiley face cause my momma told her how much I LOVE her and then one of the little girls on the cover signed it and then Paula's cute hubby Michael. It was such a great meaningful gift. It made me cry. I love my momma so much!

Christmas was such an amazing time. With family around and all the love that was being shared. The day was relaxed and just nice. I'm so grateful to have the family that I have and for the spirits that they have. I'm grateful for my elder brother Jesus Christ and that we are able to take this season to remember his birth and the amazing loving life that he lead.
