My favorite holiday is Christmas. I have tons of decorations and I love the whole season!!! This is our tree this year with the presents under it. My mom and Pat gave us this tree when Doug and I got married. I love it!!! Everybody who comes to our house thinks it is real, but it is not!!!This year was wonderful. Christmas Eve we spent with Doug's family. It was lots of fun and lots of really good food. The electicity was out on that side of town most of the day and so we thought we might have to have it at our house. But the electricity came on and all was well and we all went to Tammy and Dane's house for the evening. It was supper fun. Ed and Tasha got to go with us so that was great!!! Christmas morning Doug and I woke up by Bethanie calling us from her dad's at 7:11am. So Doug and I got up and opened our presents from each other. Than we got ready and went to breakfast over to the Maxwell's house. It was delicious. Then we visited with them until we had to leave to go get my kids at Grandma Hills. We got there and had a Christmas celebration with that whole family. It was fun to see them and spend time with them. I haven't had a Christmas dinner there in a long time. It was good to see that side of the family again. I miss them and they have missed me!!!! :) They treated Doug just wonderfully!!!! Then we came home and opened our presents here at the house with Doug, me, Ed, Tasha and Bethanie. Then we played games and had so much for the rest of the evening. Then Doug go to go get the Buddenbohm kids the next day and we got to open the rest of our presents and have them open theirs. It was lots of fun!!! Everybody very much enjoyed what they got!!!
