Christmas 2009

My dad came to visit for Christmas! What a great present! It was nice to spend some quality time with him and listen to him tell stories. He told the boys a story of this guy named Mr. Edwards (the Little house Mr. Edwards) and made that story fit into HIS story. He even brought the boys a cup, penny, peppermint stick. he gave me 3 Sweet potatoes. If you know the Little House story, you know what I am talking about. Otherwise, you are most likely very confused. Anyway, Gosh, I wish he lived with us *wink*. The boys couldn't stop talking about him coming to our house. I think Owen told his teacher 10 times last week, just to make sure she knew.

He arrived the 23rd in the late afternoon. Owen's new full mattress came in and we were in the hustle and bustle of getting rid of his old one and picking up the new one. Aaron took the boys out to a movie to pass time and to get the kids off our backs asking "when is he going to get here, when is he going the to get here?" I enjoyed some one on one time with my dad eating cookies and drinking coffee while waiting for the boys to come home.

That evening, we went to Easton. I really dislike going to Easton, but it is so beautiful at Christmastime. I love the lights and all of the pretty decorations. They sure know how to do that place up!


We ate at California Pizza kitchen and enjoyed walking around looking at all of the pretty lights.
Owen Playing dot to dot with Papa...Owen never finished the game because the next move he would have to make would give my dad the rest of the boxes.
