We had a pretty busy Christmas. We went to my parents house on Saturday and my mom and I went shopping all day. Jason had been gone so much in December that it was almost virtually impossible to get any Christmas shopping done so I ended up doing the majority of it in terribly crowded and busy stores on saturday. Travis, Cassie, and Andee came home on Sunday. My parents house was really full with three children and 6 adults but I love it when everyone is there. Carter and Andee are buds but they definately are double trouble so watch out. Hailee tries to mother them of course. We went out to my grandpa's house for the Arends family (my moms side) dinner and visited with everyone. Monday was Christmas Eve; we opened gifts about noon and Jason and I tried to figure out how to fit it all in the van and where we would put it all once we were home. It looked Toys R Us had the flu. We all went to church, came home and had soups for supper and got to see what "santa" brought them. They were very excited. Hailee got a Princess Arise and Carter got this motorized Spiderman motorcycle. We headed back to York that night so we could open up our gifts Christmas morning. It was really nice to incorporate old traditions as well as new ones. Once again Toys R Us puked everywhere and we had to figure out what to do with it all. We had an absolutely fabulous season and had to sit back and see how blessed we are.
