Christmas 2008

So Christmas eve Adlanna and I woke up and daddy was home!!! WAHOO! He had one guy scheduled to work and that guy was a no show, so Chris couldn't work alone on that job, so he was off for the day! Which meant our holiday began early!!!

We headed out to Delta by 10:30am, Once we arrived in Delta we started partying! LOL We made yummy cookies, Even Adlanna and Daddy helped! We ate a delicious Honey Baked Ham for dinner and some pies!!!! (my fav yum!) We opened up a present at bedtime... or earlier in the day... hee hee. Us adults stayed up late (again) talking... and visiting. It sure is good to spend time with family! We woke up Christmas morning at 7:30am and opened our stockings, then made breakfast and waited for Doug to come back from picking up calves, then we ate, and then at 10:30am we finally opened the rest of our gifts!!!

We got lots of great things! Lots of fun books for Adlanna and clothes, and fun toys! I got some candles, the childrens songbook, some nice fabric sissors, Bath and body works foaming soap, too many things to name! Chris got a gift card to Home depot for cement for the shed pad we want to build next spring, or for a tool set he wanted... he gets to pick, the Batteries for his dewalt tools he wanted most off his list, and many more things ... again too many to name.. We got a Skookie from Cliff and Josie along with some smell goods, a pizza pan, and some nice work gloves for Chris that we somehow misplaced... :( Oh and he opened a work light and marshmellow guns from me and Addie. Then Adlanna got a cabbage patch, a foam puzzle mat to play on, of course the big presents grammy brought down last weekend, she got a pair of shoes that don't fit :*( and a few other pairs that will fit oneday. HEE HEE She opened a Yo Gabba Gabba dancey dance DVD and we opened it and watched it with Grammy... so now we all know the songs and can sing along. :)

Adlanna was so entertaining... she started reaching for something and instead of walking over to it, she would grunt like she just couldn't reach... it was hysterical! Grammy played with her doing that and they both grunted it was funny! She was very lovey and gave lots of hugs and kisses. She even got a kiss from Jetta the dog! LOL It was funny because the first while she would scream like she was terrified of the dog, and cry if we didn't get her far away... but soon she got used to Jetta and played and ended up getting kisses on the face. Nice Jetta.... she was very soft with Addie, now that Kitty Bugs is another story.. HEE HEE Just kidding, but something did happen once that Adlanna cried over... like she got scratched but we couldn't find a scratch... so who knows. but she continued to love on the kitty anyway! :)

Adlanna is still more into tearing the wrapping paper into a million pieces and handing you each one before she moves on... maybe it has to do with being dirty... who knows... but it took a while to open gifts... HA HA

Around 3ish we started heading up north to my extended Christmas party, the wind was loud and crazy and my family had text me that they had over a foot of snow already!!! (that's unusual for Saratoga) So we took the freeway to be safe, no crazy back roads that wouldn't be plowed, even though it added another 45min to the drive, we didn't hit snow once, we got rain a few times and saw a flake or two at a stop light, but all the way up to my aunt Cindy's house no real snow.

Here is the slide show from Delta (slide shows don't take up space on my blog... that's why your getting a lot of them!

The story to continue later....
