Christmas Morning

Keeping our annual Christmas tradition going. We got pj's from the Godparents, read our story of Jesus birth and "Night Before Christmas" and we went to see Christmas lights.

Here's a picture of the kids in their pj's and their new DS game systems.

For Christmas this year........... Santa brought the family a Wii!!!!

And I must say I'm glad he did. We have had more fun play together.

Christmas Caroling 2008

Let's do a little catch up...

Our family was inviting to our dear friends annual Christmas caroling through their neighborhood, the Sunday we got home from our trip.

This is a very special person in my life whom I don't get to see enough!!! Who would have ever thought you'd meet one of your dearest friends in a Walmart.

These were the best looking and tasting Christmas cookies I've ever had!!! They were way to pretty to eat. But I did anyway.

Our chariot !!!!

Our music !!!

Our band !!!

Gaylord 2008 - The entertainment

This was our entertainment........

Mr. Colin Raye!!!!

This was really neat, because Hubby and I met when he was all over the radio. We would dance like there was no tomorrow. He'd twirl me around the dance floor to " On the Verge". And I would just melt in his arms. What a great night!!!

Gaylord 2008 - The Party!!!

This was one of the couple that I met. She's a doll. Hubby has taking a few classes with her husband. I found out that they had quite a bit of fun without us. hmmm....

That's okay, she and I will just have to go shopping the next time we see each other. There's nothing like retail therapy. Let me hear an amen ladies!!!

Here's a great picture of hubby and I.

This is one of the marching band girls that lead of into our banquet room.

Here's a picture of the stage.

Here's the dance floor, which happens to be my favorite part of the evening.

Gaylord 2008 - Some of the decorations

I had so much fun taking pictures of this and that. Playing with different settings.

There were so many beautiful decorations. And at night it was even more beautiful.

Love the color combination in this one.

Look at the blues the flash picks up.

Merry Christmas

Twas the Night Before Christmas........

This is the story we have read to our children for as long as I can remember, along with the story out the bible, of the birth of Jesus. I truly love Robert Sabuda's pop-up books. He puts so much detail into each illustration.
