Merry Christmas
We are just now getting the kids to bed, so our night is just beginning. Morning will probably get here a little to early too. We had a good day today. This afternoon we celebrated Christmas with Chandra's family. The kids got a lot of good stuff and so did we. Lexi's favorites were probably the mp3 player and the polka dotted picture(canvas) painted by the very talented Kristen Harris. Jag loved his die cast elevated scraper which is some type of earth moving machine. He also loved his wrecking ball made by Aunt Krissy. My favorite present was a plaque in remembrance of my horse Yo Yo. I also loved our Marty Moose glasses that Kris and Clayton got us.
Later we went to the school for the Weaver side of the family to get together. Santa Clause showed up and gave the kids presents, which seemed to be a great hit with most of the kids. My mom got 10 pairs of jeans as her present from the name exchange, must have been from someone who reads this blog. Winnie got a baby doll and a hand made cradle for it made by my Uncle Willie. She also got a hand made book shelf from her Bepaw. Tomorrow we will be going to Chandra's grandparents (Dave's mom & dad).
It is easy to get worn out this time of year with all the traveling and get together. The kids are always wound a little tight which wears on me. I always find that I need to take a second and relax and remember what this season is all about. It is hard to believe that something as precious as a baby's birth can turn into something so commercialized.
