Christmas 2008

We staying in CT again for Christmas this year. Carintha's parents and her sister came up again, but this time they took the train, and stayed for about a week. This year it was Aunt Dina's turn to be sick, but we made it through okay. I like to drag Christmas out, but we were finished opening presents about lunch time. I was the first one to wake up, but Carintha wouldn't let me get up because the kids were still asleep. We also have watched "A Christmas Story" every Christmas since 1999, so that was playing in the backgroung most of the day. This is Morgan sitting with Papaw to open her present from Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn got a princess dress-up costume from Aunt Momo. She wore it the rest of the time we opened presents.

Morgan and Kaitlyn got a Wii from Santa. I think I play it more than they do, but they will grow into it.

Morgan got a "talking" parrot that you program at first, but it will learn things as time goes by.

Kaitlyn got "Horton Hears a Who" from Aunt Dina. I think it is a very good movie, if you haven't seen it yet.

After we opened a few presents, Austin was confined to his high chair to avoid him getting into everything. He got his first football. It is small and green, but a football.

Kaitlyn got a Leapster game, and was very greatful, but she hadn't opened her Leapster yet, so I'm not sure if she knew exactly what it was. But she has been playing with it at least once a day ever since.

Papaw got a cordless grill thermometer. (It was my idea.) That should go good with the "flying b" brander that he got from Aunt Dina.

Grandma got a few DS games to keep her busy when everyone is driving her crazy. Aunt Dina almost got druged on the trip up here.
