Christmas Eve
We always spend Christmas Eve with Jeff's parents and his brother's family. It's a great way to get the kids all riled up about Santa coming and the presents they hope he brings.
The "dinner maker" Pearl told Jeff I'd want. Funny. 
Jeff did surprise me with a new camera. Apparently he is tired of asking me where the little camera is. It's in my purse, duh! I think he was just pumped about it having a touch screen. Now to find the time to read the manual and figure out how to use this thing. 
Now that's my kind of dough!
Pearl was shocked when she opened this gift.... exclaiming to Grandma and Grandpa, "How did you know that's exactly what I wanted?"
Cole was sick again... has been for over a week now! He was sick last year too. Ugh. He tried to be a good sport about all the festivities but was just wasn't himself. Why do kids always get sick over the holidays? 
Jeff wanted one thing for Christmas. Socks. I had him fooled thinking he wasn't going to get any but surprise! He has more socks than he knows what to do with. Oh, he also wanted his Tablet back seeing as how I took it away from him a few days ago and wrapped it. He'd been playing with it ever since it came in the mail. I thought him and the kids were going to have to go to Angry Bird withdrawal therapy without it. Jeff's brother, Roy, gave him a "What every Aggie needs" pack. Bull Balm, Kleenex, and blue potatoes. It made us laugh.
After spending time with Jeff's side of the family, we hurried over to my parent's house to visit with my Grandpa and Grandma Allen and my Grandpa Jewkes. I was so glad they were all there so we didn't have to run around to two more houses on Christmas Day. I fretted about what to get them for weeks, finally deciding last minute to make them a memory book. I wrote down all my favorite memories of them as a kid. I should have known with my crafting history that I was going to have a few bumps along the way. Like running out of glue and photo sticker things, almost running out of paper, and not having a printer. Luckily Jeff's mom came to the rescue and helped me finish them in the nick of time. I'm fairly certain I am still the favorite grandchild. 
I have to admit, I was kind of sad to not have Christmas morning at our own house. I really never thought I'd feel that way, but after last year, it was so nice to just be lazy and not run around crazy from place to place for a few hours here and there and then back home. Plus I just love our tree and the magic it brings!
