Merry Christmas

We had a blessed Christmas. My mom and Ed came to stay for the week.
Kristin got engaged and found out shes expecting. So were grandparents to be. Very exciting.
Chloe woke up this morning and opened a few presents, then had to play with them. Then she opened a few more and played. Her sister finally helped her later open the rest. She has played with everything. Kristin had one surprise to open. We had gotten some of her old t-shirts from pee-wee cheerleading, cheerleading, and shirts that her dad had bought her thriughout the year and had Sharon Patton make her a quilt. It is beautiful!!!! Kristin was surprised and said, now I know why you were looking through old shirts.
We actually got to stay home all day!!!

Christmas play

The Christmas play went great. Chloe was a good baby Jesus. Mark told her this would be her last year. She was getting too old. I don't think she'll mind. Sunday shes going to be a sheep in the childrens play. I wonder how she'll do this time. We are supose to do our Christmas play again on New years eve. We use to do this every year and got away from it. But since we'll all be at church, we myles well go ahead and do the play. It makes the nite go faster.
Can you believe another year is almost over? Where did it go? I think I am all done shopping. I need just a few things from Walmart. Of course I have nothing wrapped. I'm afraid to put anything under the tree. Chloe is enjoying the Christmas season so much, I'm afraid she'll really enjoy the presents wrapped, then unwrapped. She has already found her presents, and played with a few. I finally just put them in my room and threw a blanket over them. She has never noticed them!!!! This year I get to have my mom and stepdad over at Christmas. We are really looking forward to it.
Today we woke up to snow. I got Chloe dressed in her snow suit and out we went. She had a good time sitting in her sleigh. She walked a little bit until the dogs spotted us. They came running to play and she was yelling, NO DUKE!!! HE'S BAD!!!! Thats one of the dogs. It was pretty funny. She did scrape snow off the car and eat it. Her little fingers were freezing. We weren't back in the house long and she fell asleep for 2 hours. We need to do this everyday!!!

Thanksgiving

We did make it home for Thanksgiving. We went to Johnnys moms house. All the family made it over except Kathy Jo. We had a really nice day.
Connie, Chloe and I all went shopping on BLACK Friday. We didn't go out at 4:30. But we did hit the stores @ 7:30. Things weren't that bad. The mall was very busy. But not like I thought they would be. Idid find some good deals.
We got our Christmas tree up. Good thing Johnny wired it up. Chloe has fell into it several times reaching for candy canes and pulling ornaments off. She likes to stand on the wii box in the corner and pull at ornaments or she pushes the box under the tree and sits on it. Shes got a few branches bent back. She ate breakfast with Mrs. Claus on Friday. She even sat on her lap to get a picture.
This weekend was our Church Christmas play Chloe is baby Jesus again. I'm Mary and Johnny is Joseph. It was cancelled last nite. It has snowed and the roads are bad. We didn't have church this morning either. BUT the play is on for this evening. Thank goodness because if it was cancelled, it would be rescheduled for next weekend and thats my only weekend I have open to finish my Christmas shopping!!!!!
