Christmas Eve - 2008

Christmas Eve afternoon....we were tired, and I didn't feel good.

Mom, Grandma Faye, Papa Paul, Darrick Jr., Ashley, Joe, Carissa, Brandon, Brianna, Cody, Bill and I enjoyed a quiet Christmas Eve at the house. We had prime rib, ham, and lots of other yummy stuff. Poor Tanya had to work :( so mom and gma and gpa brought her kids down to enjoy the morning with their cousins.

I never, ever thought I would have to apologize for "not taking pics" but I have to be honest here, I woke up on Christmas Eve feeling like heck! My cold got the best of me and I just enjoyed sitting back and watching the kids enjoy opening their gifts for once.....I don't even have any pics from Christmas morning, I took the day off and just enjoyed.....I will probably regret that some day....but I loved watching the kids eyes light up and all their funny expressions and stuff with my bare eyes, not through the camera lens.

We all had a great Christmas and enjoyed our family time together!
