Christmas Celebrations: Take Two

We had an Italian dinner and opened presents with Nonnie, Pops, Momo and Little Bubba on Christmas Eve Eve.
 The girls passed out presents in their Santa hats and then took a rest in their rocking chairs.


 We had a lovely dinner!

 Slurping Spaghetti
 The girls were wound up!



 They couldn't wait to see what Brent and I had for them in these big boxes.  Woohoo, closets for the American Girl clothes!

 Abby and Caroline also couldn't wait for me to open this surprise they wrapped with Brent.
 Wow!  I was speechless!  He sure does know how to spoil me!

 Pops had his own surprise for Nonnie and Momo.  He tracked down two autographed copies of the new George Bush book.


 
 Caroline ran to Momo and showed her each gift she opened.

 Soft Robes
 We had lots of surprises this year!  Little Bubba gave Nonnie some symphony tickets.
 Abby and Caroline picked out this shirt for Pops on our last trip to Buccees.

 Caroline loves the little bear, music box and books for her doll!

 The Year of the Yetis


 We all got much needed beach towels.
 I Pad Excitement

 Nonnie and Pops got a gigantic Jenga game for the patio.
 Caroline and Daddy had fun looking at this Disney World coffee table book.

 Abby and Caroline were excited for Brent to open his watch from us and for me to open all the fun things they picked out with their Christmas money.  Nonnie took them shopping one day and they picked me out some very stylish socks, gloves and a new wallet.

Pops got some gloves to go with his new . . .
  . . . electric smoker!  We've all enjoyed some delicious meat this past week.
 That ended the evening and we headed home in new pjs and robes to get some rest for the next celebration.
