Christmas '08














Christmas 2008 has come and gone! The look on the boys faces and the excitement in their voices were priceless on Christmas morning. Jackson was the first to get up, crawling over me and Gray as we slept at Gigi's house. After making a trip into the living room Jackson came running back into the bedroom bursting with excitement "Santa came! He really did come!" waking up sleeping Gray and Harrison. Chad was sleeping on the couch and tried to keep him from waking us all up but there was just to much excitement to keep inside! After everyone got settled on their spot on the floor the boys opened their stockings. Jackson passed out a few of the "santa" toys and announced that "Santa didnt bring me everything I wanted"...referring to a Hot Wheels track that he had requested, so we found the wrapped up toy from Gigi and Poppa and let him open that next..he was so excited that he fell backward on the floor in a most dramatic way! The rest of the morning went pretty much the same, Gray loved his Handy Manny toolbox and his Police Helmet. Harrison really didnt get very excited about anything...but he loves putting on shoes...doesnt matter whose they are, he'll try them on, so of course he had to try on Gray's new cowboy boots from pepaw and mimi!









After opening presents we all got prettied up and headed over to the Modersohns house. More opening but mostly playing with toys...Jackson was the only one really interested in opening things and I think he opened about half of his brothers gifts. Landry was the only one that appreciated her clothes...wanting to try on everything she got! Kamri had fun too, trying to open her gifts with a little help from her mommy, she really liked the Tutu that Landry got from Santa and looked super cute in it!














After eating moms breakfast casserole we all packed up and headed to Greenbrier to Uncle Richard and Lisa's house. Good food filled us up and gave us energy to yet again open more gifts! More toys, more clothes! The presents were being opened so fast that I honestly dont know who got us what...a few I know but not all of them, so thank you everyone! It was a long, short vacation that was needed but we were glad to see it come to an end. The boys had actually been in Russellville with Gigi and Poppa since the previous Sunday and they definately wore out their welcome! Thank you for letting the boys have an extended visit, they really enjoyed their time with you!
