I am proud to say that we we did tone down this year when it comes to gifts. The children each got one big present and then just a few smaller. As for the rest of the family we either drew names or did not give. Wow I actually got almost all of my shopping done in one day... miracle! Our girls never knew the difference and I have to say that my girls have always been appreciative during Christmas and don't expect to get a truck load of presents under the tree. Due to an 18 wheeler full of furniture being delivered a week before Christmas we had our tree and all of the decorations up in the playroom. The kids did it all I did not help with any of it!!!! We spent Christmas eve with my dad's side of the family as we have done for the past 50 years. I can remember literally being beside myself on Christmas Eve.. my cousins, brothers & sisters and I would have a blast when we were little and oh my at the loot in those days. I would get home that night with trash bags FULL! Of course I would be in the floor board in Dads back seat with my eyes clinched shut so Santa would think I was asleep already. Here are a few photos of Christmas 2008... we are truly blessed!
