Christmas 2008


We spent Christmas with my parents in Michigan again this year and it was quite an exciting visit. We visited the Dicken's Festival that is held in a nearby town where they perform a Christmas Carol outside (and boy was it cold!!!) and you can also see Santa and join in other old fashioned festivities they have on the streets. It was fun but very cold.

While in Michigan, we also got to spend Christmas with my brother, Justin and his girlfriend, Brittany that he brought home to meet the family. It was fun to get to know her since she it looks like she will be part of our family in the near future! Hallie loved her instantly but she couldn't say her name so she kept saying, "Frittany" which stuck the rest of the week. So now everyone, including Justin calls her Frittany... sorry Brittany!

Christmas morning was fun having two kids to enjoy it with this year. Hallie got a kitchen with dishes and food (exactly what she asked for... thanks Santa!), and Sydnee got an interactive rhymes book (which I'm sure she would have asked for if she could talk!). It was a great Christmas, and we all had fun being together.


Above: Yes, that is a poster of Edward that Justin got my mom, and she actually put it on the back of her bedroom door. It was the best gag gift!
