so we spent the actual christmas day at our house, and i have pictures of that somewhere i'll track down. then after that we went to david and des', and brett and jes came out to. i was nervous about the foot, and the kids not sleeping, and all that. but everybody helped out so much, and was so accomodating, brett and jess shared a room with hannah and charlie! we had such a wonderful special time, and i am so glad we were able to be together.
it was brett's birthday and our anniversary, so Des got us a special cake. it was beautiful!
patrick and i found that staying home for christmas isnt necessarily all its cracked up to be. everything depends on you, its alot of work! and we didnt even have anything big going on. but we worked all day friday and saturday to get ready, then sunday was pretty stressful, and patrick went back to work on monday. and to me, after christmas is the fun part. just eating leftovers, playing with the new toys, and being together. but we didn't have that, so we were really ready to go to the crisps for the weekend! des had to worry about everything, and we just ate and played.
Des had a quilt from a family member that she'd kept for a long time, and she made it into a tree skirt and stockings. It was such a neat idea.
the highlight of the evening, for me at least, was the cowboy and ballerina costumes des got for the kids. she made a tutu and headpiece for hannah.
we actually had pictures done, as a family. i should have more soon.
brett and jes entertained caroline quite a bit, they were practicing! I've been meaning to get a post about this for awhile, they are adopting a baby. everything is done, they're just waiting on God to bring them the right one. even have an adorable nursery all ready.
how can you tell we're in kansas? :-)
des made me, jes, hannah and charlie each our own bag. charlie's has a monkey, and hannah's is pink and has flowers like mine.
they re-enacted that little song hannah did in church, and charlie only knows a few of the words. but he got really into it, it was so funny. you kind of had to be there, but years from now, i hope i can look back at this picture and remember, "i just wanna know just wanna KNOW!"
