Christmas 2006

Wow! Has it ever been a whirlwind these past couple of weeks. I finally have a chance to sit down and journal our Christmas events.

For Lee, Krue, Kiefer, and I our Christmas goes something like this:

Christmas Eve - Go to Lee's parents lake house for appetizers, go to church, eat HUGE dinner back at the lake house, open presents, kids put on their Christmas PJ's and go to bed, we stay and socialize with all forty-some members of Lee's extended family.

Christmas Eve Night - Drive back home, go to bed.

Christmas Morning- Wake up, Krue and Kiefer see what Santa brought them, look at stockings, fire in fireplace, Christmas music, coffee and cinnamon rolls...very special time for just us!

Christmas Day - Drive to my parent's house, arrive just in time to make our VERY TRADITIONAL Christmas brunch (Cherry Turnover Team Rocks!), begin our marathon present opening...it ended around 5 or 5:30 pm this year...seriously! So much fun.
