We started the holiday season off by Evan and family coming home on the 23rd. Stayed home and enjoyed the visit. Xmas Eve had a few errands to do and picked up a JD RC Tractor for Zade. Met my Mom in Foristel to exchange some gifts so she could take them to the farm. Plus she had two trays of cookies to give us for the holiday season. My MOM rocks.! Later that evening went to Mary and Kevins for Eve celebration with Laurie's family.
Xmas morning woke up and told Laurie that Santa had come it was time open gifts. That was 6:30 she wasn't to thrilled, but we had to what anyway. Went to pick up the kids around 10 came back and the chaos began. Enjoyed a late brunch and playing with the kids new toys/gadgets. Yes I'm a big kid at heart. Prepared big dinner later in the day and it was nice just to enjoy everyone's company.
Monday the 26th went to Cracker Barrel for breakfasts with Evan, kids Mary and UK. After returning Evan and family got ready to depart. He's got a big decision to make in the next few weeks not sure if he wants to stay in the Air Force or not. Economy stinks, jobs aren't plentiful. So being 22, married and a father he's really stressed. I know he'll make the best decision for his family. I'm really proud of how he handles such tough situations.
The rest of the week I was on vacation. The kids and I just bummed around. Went shopping to redeem some gift cards. Got me a few new lures and fishing pole. Rem got a new pocket knife, sling shot and lures. Karly picked out three new shirts. Tonight we finally have Christmas with my Mom and the kids can't wait...Till tomorrow.
