White Christmas

9 January 2010

For the past couple of years, I really have been dreaming of a white Christmas, and I was so excited to be able to take my little family home!  I love all the little traditions we still have from when I was growing up.  We love going to Brian and Michelle's house on Christmas Eve with the Stringer family and all sitting around the tree and exchanging gifts.  I loved waking up to snow outside on Christmas morning and sharing Lucy and Scarlett's excitement with my family.  I loved having our extended family all together for Christmas dinner.  There really is no place like home, and I didn't even mind the frigid temperatures.  Of course, we missed our family that wasn't there, but we are sadl used to always missing someone.

The highlight of Christmas morning for Lucy was certainly Santa's delivery of her Barney doll.  She has never been very into stuffed creatures, but she loves him!  She talks to him and feeds him and puts him to sleep.  I love spying on her to listen to the funny things she tells him.  She was initially very excited by his teeth and the fact that she can kind of put things in his mouth.  The only thing she ever specifically asked for was blue bubble gum.  If Santa was smart, he would have spent $15 on Barney and the bubble gum and called it a day.  

Scarlett was adorable to watch.  Poor thing was sick the entire time we were gone, but she was still rather delightful.  She loved pretty much everything she got, and was also a big fan of Barney.  It really was amazing to just be a part of their Christmas day.
