Christmas was a little different this year. Greg's Grandfather fell and broke his leg on the beginning of the week of Christmas so Greg's parents needed to leave Christmas morning to go help him out. My uncle Donald passed away on Decebmer 23rd so my parents went to West Columbia to be with family and help out. Usually we have Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas day with Greg's. This year we celebrated with my parents on Dec 23rd with Tacos for dinner and Greg's parents on Dec 24th to open gifts, and then we had lunch with Greg's sister and Grandmother at our house on Christmas day. We had a good time with everyone, but it was definitely different.

Christmas Eve we had to put out cookies and milk for Santa. We had a couple cookies left over that Landon had made that week. He wanted to add some sprinkles to them, and then leave some milk. He wanted to leave regular milk and not Soy milk for Santa.
Christmas morning, Landon came in our room about 7:45am and told us that he got something really cool and wanted to know if I wanted to come see it. Kasey and daddy stayed in bed for a little while as Landon and I checked out what Santa brought. Landon had asked Santa to bring him a small Christmas tree because the one we had (I've had it for many years) broke and couldn't be used. He said it was different than the one we had but liked it. Landon got a fire truck that turns into a city where a very small fire truck, ambulance, police car and a few other cars can do different things like fall into a bridge and someone comes help them. The parts on it are very small and some things broke pretty quick. Mom and dad weren't overly thrilled with Santa's choice this year :). Landon also got a cool Cars book that had a flashlight. The book hasn't been read much, but the flashlight and sounds it makes has been used a lot. Santa brought Kasey a little caterpillar rocker that sings songs and says shapes when you press them. She loves it. She also got a little soft barn that plays music and has animal pages on it that are touch and feel.

We did have a white Christmas though. It snowed Christmas Eve. From an article in Dallas Morning News, "The 3 inches recorded Thursday at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport was the first measurable Christmas Eve snowfall since the National Weather Service began keeping records in 1898." Landon and I decided to go outside and play in the snow Christmas morning - good thing because it melted soon there after. We enjoyed throwing snowballs, making snow angels, running in the snow, and pretending to follow maps that were made of ice.
