Christmas 2009
















What a wonderful day!!! Not only were we able to celebrate the birth our Jesus Christ, but we were able to do it our families. Our day started early at 7am. We opened presents just the 4-8/9th's of us. Our girls are at such a fun age for opening presents. They recieved new toothbrushes, some toys, and last but not least, daddy's huge surprise present...a jumper thing, as Esther calls it (also known to most of us a trampline).

We headed over to the Gatewood's for a yummy breakfast and more presents. I think the girl's most special present they recieved all day was their first official Bibles and little carrying bags for taking them to church. It was great getting to see both of my brothers and their families on Christmas day.

We were able to take a nap in the afternoon before headigng for our third, but not least, present opening with the Winter family. The girls both got new "big girl" panties and I am looking forward to getting Hannah into them as a little incentive. We ate dinner at the Pelagia Restraunt at the International Mall and it was awesome! I wasn't able able to read most of the menu, since it didn't contain words like "spaghetti" or "Macaroni & Cheese", but it was still really nice to get the whole Winter family together, no matter what was in the food we were eating.

We hope you all had as blessed Christmas as we did! Looking forward to the New Year and what it brings!!!
