Christmas Day

Christmas morning, Terry & I got up at 5, because he had to go to work & we still had to go to mom's before he left. He went in the living room to set up the camcorder while I got Natalee up. She was very hard to wake up at first. We walked about halfway in the kitchen & I put her down. She saw all of those toys & her eyes were so big! She looked up at me, pointed to the toys then to herself, as if she was asking if they were hers. It was so cute. I told her yes she could play with them & she ran straight to them!! It was amazing to see her little face when she saw everything Santa brought! I already can't wait til next year! Santa left Natalee a bounce & spin zebra, a Leap Frog laugh & learn musical table, a ball pit, some pjs, a pair of boots, a couple of movies, some blocks & a stocking full of stuff! Her favorite thing that morning was the table. Now she loves the balls from the ball pit! We tried to get her to open her gifts from mommy & daddy but she wanted nothing of it...she was too interested in her toys, so mommy had to open them.

We then got dressed & went to moms at 6 to open gifts. Of course the first gift Natalee opened was a big jug of Cheetos! We all opened gifts & enjoyed each others company. Terry left to go to work & we finished our gifts. We then just sat around waiting on 11:00 so we could go to Deadra's. We went there & ate & opened gifts. Madison & Natalee played together and had a good time. Natalee & I took Terry a plate so he could have one good meal on Christmas day! We then went to Debbie's to see what Santa brought Ryan & Katie Lauren. They got so much stuff! Ryan got a unicycle & a bicycle & Katie Lauren got a motorized scooter. We left for granny's. After everyone got there, we ate a good meal. Granny finally let the kids open their stockings. Natalee got some crayons, m&ms & a cookie. We then opened gifts. We took our traditional family picture & sat around & talked for a little while. Natalee & I were super tired! We went to mom's, loaded up our stuff & went home! Natalee was asleep before we even got out of the driveway good & we only live about a mile from mom!
