Christmas Day 2008

Notice the cement floors---I can't wait to post pictures of our new floors---coming soon!!










Taylor bought Steve a wallet for Christmas LAST year. He is very picky about his wallets---he hates when they are too big, so he never used it. Taylor always told him how rude that was, so for Christmas this year, she wrapped it up and gave it to him again. We all got a good laugh out of it.




We had a wonderful Christmas morning. I love that it was just our family. The kids were happy to get the presents from Santa that they asked for. Taylor asked Santa for a digital camera---we might be sorry that he brought her one---she has been taking pictures of EVERYTHING!! Parker wanted an I-pod and a robot (whatever!) and Lexi wanted a doggie and a horsie. Taylor was "testing" Santa Claus this year to see if he brought her what she asked for, without telling me or Steve what she wanted. I'm sad to say that I think this was Taylor's last year in Believing---

Every year for Christmas Eve, the Thurmans invite us to go to Pasadena to be with their family. It is a fun tradition for our family, considering they are the closest thing to family we have here.
