We have celebrated Christmas for several days now and still have one to come. As with every year in the past, we were very blessed with time with our families and many gifts. It was such a joy watching Matney celebrate her first Christmas. As I sit in the living room and watch her play with all her new toys, I can only see her happiness and curiosity as she plays with all of her presents, not the mess that is strewn about the floors! Though Matney had a bad cold and cough on her first Christmas, she still enjoyed the presents and of course the food. This girl can eat!
Our first Christmas started at Nannie B and Papa G's on December 22, 2010. We spent the day at their house fixing dinner and preparing for the evening ahead. The boys helped Papa bring in wood and Matney and Kennon supervised as you can see in the picture below. Our first annual grandkid Christmas picture was a bit of a challenge, but we got it done!
The highlight of my Christmas was the amazing surprise from my parents. This past year Abby and I have started learning how to sew and often have commandeered Mom's sewing machine for hours on end. We were both completely surprised by our presents, new sewing machines just like Mom's! Thursday morning we had to take a trip to Wal-M*rt to get material and thread so we could start our projects! I have already been working on a few things and cannot wait to do more. Thanks Mom and Dad for the great present!
