Christmas Eve/Christmas Day 2008

I invited my wonderful friend Trish and her children, Ian and Lexi over for dinner Christmas Eve. We were missing our Walt and Matthew and decided to take a pic for them.


My Friend Trish made me this gorgeous pink (my favorite) scarf! I was being silly!



I was saying thank you for the very thoughtful Willow Tree Figurine from Trish. She is such a special friend to me!

Miss Trishy, Ian and Lexi got Arthur is Iron Man!

Arthur loves opening presents!!

ooohh Mommy....I would like to play with the ornaments instead!!

I want to play with the gun too!!!

AAAWWW SWEET! Santa brought me the M60!!!

I love it!!! This is best Christmas ever!

So we started Christmas morning out at 7:15am. Matt was scheduled to meet us for presents on SKYPE at 8am. I had to hold the boys off from downstairs for 45 minutes. Oh...yeah...nothing like waking up Christmas morning..crying. I know it was torture....but I was going to have Christmas with Matthew....the way I had it all planned. Matt was able to get on at 8am and the festivities began. We had a wonderful Christmas. We played all morning....got showered up, and went to lunch the DFAC with our friends. It was truly as good as it could be with our love so far away from us. Thank you to our wonderful family and friends for such a wonderful day. We love you all!
