Christmas started this year with a trip to Springfield where Mom made an early Christmas dinner to match our early "Roof" Christmas celebration. Everything was perfect and the kids (Kaitlyn, Eliza, Andrew, Olivia and Julia) really enjoyed getting an early barage of presents before Santa even had his sleigh loaded. Pictures of this event are pending (Dad? Can you send some, please?). After that, Mamaw, Papaw, and Uncle Doug came to visit us at our house, leaving on Christmas Eve. Julia had another round of present opening and really enjoyed the play kitchen she got from the "Wright" Christmas celebration ( = On Christmas Eve, we went to the evening mass (where I packed an entire lunchbox of snacks for Julia to keep her occupied) and then home to put cookies out for Santa Claus and put Julia to bed. Christmas Day we spent opening MORE gifts from the jolly old fat man and playing WII ( = Finally, on Saturday, Grandma and Pap Pap Roof came to our house to visit and brought Julia even MORE gifts. It'll be a brutal reality for Julia when she realizes there are no more presents until November 30th of 2010!!
