Well here I am late again as usual updating the blog. Sorry for anyone who was waiting for info :) I have a few pictures of the tree that Mary and Faith decorated all with Disney ornaments. We only had 1 tree this year since we were a little slow getting everything out. We just used disney ornaments because we only have a few weeks until the disney trip and we are all getting excited! Also Faith and Mary hung up the stockings on the mantle. And last but not least they decorated the house with nativity scenes and the stairway with greenery and ornaments.
Christmas was a nice cozy affair this year. It was only dimmed by the fact that I was on call; but even that turned out well, so I have no reason to complain! Bub, Scott and Dean showed up early in the week to help get everything ready for the celebration. Dean is a little noisy at times but he is kind of sweet sometimes too, except I think that he is only sweet to his mom, his dad and maybe Faith. He loves Faith, he likes to sit on her, chase her and kiss her so he is sweet sometimes :) Becca was here on christmas eve all by her lonesome, but Tim and Little Tim showed up Christmas afternoon. We had a white christmas this year which was a nice change of pace. I had 1 patient to see on christmas, 2 on saturday and then 1 on sunday so it really worked out well being on call.
Christmas eve started with a sleet/snow storm around 11 and the wind howled and covered everything. It was lucky that all my patients were in Winfield that I was scheduled to go and see. I heard that the storm was really bad the further you got outside of town.
Christmas morning started here at 7:20am, I made coffee first thing while everyone ran to their stockings. Dean and his parents were already up looking at the goodies that Santa had brought. Dean got a dvd player that will keep him occupied for a lifetime :) And he also got a big ride on train that he started getting into before he had to leave to go home.
Faith got new disney dressup clothes from Santa and was very happy about that; she was concerned when she got underwear and socks in her stocking but I told her that a female elf probably picked them out not Santa. Mary got clothes and books from Santa and luggage from my mom and dad to pack for the disney trip, so she was happy too.
Faith got a surprise from Becca and Me - a new christmas dress to wear to church christmas morning. I did fail to get a picture of that but it looked really really cute on her and she was very well behaved at church according to Becca.
So another christmas is gone by and it is already new years eve! My plan for tonight is to do alot of eating and drinking and sleep in late tomorrow. Maybe we will get a chance to watch some of the new movies that we got for christmas. Who knows when I will update again but when I do I am sure it will be 2010. Happy New Year to everyone!
