Christmas 2008

For Christmas this year, we first went to visit the Big Man! We went out to Santaland on the weekend before Christmas to put in our last few wishes. We waited in line for an hour and 20 minutes!!! The boys did really well!

The little one had his final breakdown right outside of Santa's door, but I do not think Santa heard because he did not let on that my youngest buckaroo had been bad. Santa was fooled once again! LOL!

So, my oldest Buckaroo went first and he did really good! He told Santa he wanted a lot of Autobots and Megatrons! (Score for Santa!!!)

Then it was the little one's turn. And, as you can see... or you may be able to recognize, he is definately my son. He was not talking to this guy in the red suit. He was not talking at all!

So, we then took the pic of the two of them and my oldest told Santa what the youngest one wanted, which just happened to be the extended list of what the oldest one didn't get to tell Santa the first go round! HA!

As soon as we were done taking pictures, and Mrs. Claus gave the boys their peppermints our youngest was grinning from ear to ear. He was so impressed with that Mr. Santa. We then took a picture of my guys with baby Jesus! I love this picture! I hope to see all of them with Jesus for real one day... okay enough sentimental! * This will have to do for now! But, i still love it!

Christmas Eve we spent at my husband's great Aunt's house with the his whole family. We had a lot of fun exchange the girl, guy gifts, watching the kiddos opening their loot, and eating lots of finger foods! It was a great time!

Then, I could not believe it!!! "Santa's been here! Santa's been here!" squealed my four year old at 3:26 AM!!!! What is he doing up so early!!! Good thing we all went to bed before 9! Including Santa!

Please excuse the underroos!!!

Our boys were so excited! They could not believe it! They got everything they ever wanted!!! Or so they said that morning... which was the right answer! Santa had listened very closely!

That afternoon... after we had all taken a short morning nap... we went to Brownfield to visit the man's grandparents and eat lunch with our family! We had a great day, and the boys got to play with their new toys AND their cousin! Fun stuff!

On the 26th we packed up the car, and got on the road headed to Paris, TX, to see the fam! We got there, and the boys were so excited! They did so good on the 8 hour road trip... they knew they were going to see their Meme, Granddaddy, Granmommy, and favorite Aunt's and Uncle's!

I did not get any pictures on this trip for some reason! I thought I did, but I must have been so overwhelmed that I left my camera in the car! Bummer! We opened a TON of presents! Once again the boys were SPOILED ROTTEN! As always by my family! Then we ate dinner, and all spent the night at Granmommies house! Saturday, we got up had donuts and coffee at Meme and Grandaddy's and played with our loot! We then at lunch, gave lovin' and got on the road again!

We then headed to Rowlett to visit GDaddy and his crew! We had a great time! The guys played football out in the street, we ate dinner and then opened some presents! Our little clan spent the night at GDaddy and Janice's house, and then got to visit a little on Sunday.

Finally, about 1:30 pm we got back on the road to head towards Lubbock. We took our time and ventured by the old Stonewater Bend house. We counted all our blessings... stopped for lunch... and made our way back to the current abode.

We have had a wonderful 2008, and cannot wait for 2009! I pray the Lord blessed your holidays as much as our's were blessed! Thank you all for everything! We love you guys very, very much!!!
