Christmas Eve & the day before

We had a busy busy Christmas week. On Wednesday the 23rd, daddy & Irene came to the house. We ate chicken spaghetti, salad & bread. We then opened gifts. Natalee got a bunch of new clothes, a pull along dog, & a bus that has a dog, cat & frog on it that sing "The Puppy on the Bus". Terry got some grilling sauces, a grilling cookbook & a couple of shirts, I got some movies & a cookbook & Brandi got some bath & body stuff, candles & a cookbook.

Terry, Natalee & I got up kind of early Christmas Eve. We went to Stewart to celebrate Christmas with his family. Natalee still had some birthday presents at their house, so she got to open them as soon as we got there. They were more clothes!! She really needed clothes, so I'm not complaining by any means! We went to Mamaw Boatman's for lunch & visited with Terry's aunts & cousins. Natalee got a lot of cute toys! She loves her farm animal fridge magnets (Thanks Lee!) She carries them everywhere! We went back to The Mitchell's & opened our gifts. Natalee got a Lee Middleton doll, a caterpillar thing that has rings on it, the CUTEST pea coat!, a pink vest with fur on the hood (too cute!!) & a few other clothes & toys. Terry & I both got a North Face coat & a bag of goodies. Terry also got a knife & I got some jewelry. We then enjoyed each others company & let Natalee play with her toys, even though she liked Mr. Roger's foam ball better than anything!
When we left there, we went by mom's to make our plans for the next morning. Deadra & her family & granny was there. While we were talking, Santa stopped by to see Natalee & Madison. He brought Natalee a book & Madison a doll & they both got oreo cakesters.
Natalee does not like Santa at all but Madison didn't mind him as long as he had something for her!

Later that night, Terry & I exchanged gifts. He got me the open heart ring to match the necklace & earrings he had already gotten me, & a couple of Nintendo DS games. I got him House - Season 5, bath & body stuff (which I forgot to wrap), & Guitar Hero 5 for the Wii. We waited to let Natalee open her gifts Christmas morning. Terry & I had also bought a new camera as a family Christmas gift. We got it early so we could use it for Natalee's birthday party. I made cookies for Santa but Natalee went to bed before they were done so I set them out for her.
