Christmas Eve and Morning 2012

     Christmas Eve we went to Lance's for dinner and party.  At the end of the evening we opened the gifts we gave to each other.  Lance gave Becky a small notebook with coupons in it of things he would do for her.  Becky's mother is living with them.  Some said he'd fix dinner, do the laundry, give her an hour by herself and so on.  She loved that gift and did turn in the coupons! 

 Christmas morning, Caroline spied her Minnie doll!  She loves Mickey and Minnie.  It was so much fun watching her open her gifts!  We usually have French Stuffed toast for breakfast, but this day took LOTS longer to open gifts.  We finally ate at noon.  That was okay as we were able to see and appreciate each other's gifts.

    We are busy opening our gifts.  The gifts are thoughtful and we are thankful we can do it with this family.  Caroline watched a Mickey DVD all day, over and over.  Family members had to take turns watching it with her.  I can remember that Joleen loved the 101 Dalmatians She had to have it read to her every night.  We had to read it in the daytime too, if she was still!!!
