Christmas 2010

     December 25, 2010 began at Grandma's house! Grandma was at work, but we were anxious to open presents anyway! Uncle Brendan and Aunt Michelle were with us and we all had so much fun! It's really exciting to see Charlotte start to conceptualize that there are fun things in those wrappings. She took her time to open them, but she loved everything she got! From grandma she got a "My Pal Violet", a bike, an outfit and a really cool Tinkerbell Thermos which she loves. Santa brought her a cozy coup, some books, and a basket set of fruits and veggies.

     After we left Grandma's house, we went to Oma and Papa's for a delicious Christmas breakfast. While we were there, we each got to speak with Uncle Ross who is on his mission in Mexico. That was a real treat. Charlotte and Hailey loved playing together and it was so nice to have everybody together.

     While we were home for Christmas, Daddy spent all his spare time in the deer woods. He killed 2 doe and an 8 point. He officially tagged out for the season and luckily so! Now we have 22 lbs. of deer meat in our brand new deep freezer!

     While the weather was nice when we got back in Florida, daddy put together Charlotte's new cozy coup. It was a tough job, and luckily we have the right man for it. Charlotte loves her new car! And yes, she is wearing shorts and a t-shirt in January!
