We celebrated our Christams on new Years this year. IT was actually a really good time. We left on Thursday around 1 for Grand Island. Travis and Cassie arrived a while later and the kiddos were anxious to open their gifts. The kids were very happy with their gifts and I was so impressed with my munchkins and how appreciative they were. There were LOTS of thank yous and I love yous. Hailee was really excited to hand out the gifts she "bought", or thought of is a better way to represent them. She did a really awesome job at picking things out that her loved ones would enjoy. She got daddy a husker memorabillia book, pappa a new husker flag for his pole, Carter a light saber, Brooklyn a soft dolly, gramma a new Opal ring( it matches the earring and necklace set we bought her last year) and mommy a new outfit that is really cute, she already has good taste. We did a countdown at 8 for the little ones with grape juice in plastic flutes and cazoos. They thought it was fun. The adults satyed up and played the Wii and drank some refreshments. We kept watchig the clock because we all wanted to go to sleep but wanted to make it until midnight to ring in the new year; at around 11:35 we said enough and went to bed. We are so lame. Travis and Cassie left on Friday. We stayed and lounged around, ate, and watched TV. Later that night we headed over to Big Pappa's for a dinner. On Saturday my mom and I went shopping, it was wonderful. Jason went out and got a haircut (much needed) and also found a new pair of tennis shoes while Brook was napping (thanks Papa for babysitting). We headed out around 11 or so on Sunday to prepare for Monday. We did have a really good time and it made up for the "weird" actual Christmas.
