Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas. It was a nice one in our house. It is still going. Jeff is now putting together Jack's Mickey Mouse race track & we are heating up the rest of the chicken enchiladas. Jeff is excited to watch either the Dark Knight or Cheaper By the Dozen with Haleigh. Haleigh is s thrilled that she got an American Girl doll & a Nintendo DS. I told her not to get used to it, but it is so nice giving them something they really want.
It is so nice having my sister here with her family but I'm sad that it isn't the trip they planned. Aidan & Sharon are sick & I know they haven't gotten to do all things they wanted to do. Jack has been acting like a deaf child around Aidan & Brennan but when they are out of sight it is nonstop "where are my cousins??" I wish we could be with everyone. I wish John & Erin were here with the kids & I'd love to be with Joe & Steve and all their crew. I told Jeff I'd really like to be in Ohio/MI for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I'd love a white Christmas!!! This warm weather is nice but just not right for Christmas. I am so grateful however for the break in the heating bill!
Having Kevin home is nice too. He mostly is outside smoking but he really loves watching the kids play and I love hearing him laugh while watching MASH. The two of us saw a movie earlier and he really was laughing.
It is always nice having Dave Walters over and I hope one day he gets remarried and I know he would love to be a father. I watch Haleigh & Jack and I know how much Jeff's Mom would just love to be here. She's be thrilled to know Jeff made mexican food. I miss her & I know she misses the kids so much.
I'm also sad that our good friend Greg isn't having the Christmas he & his family should be having but instead planning a funeral.
This was also our first Christmas with a fireplace. Jack was so cute. Every time he opened a present from Santa he would go to the fireplace & yell "welcome Santa!" I think Haleigh enjoyed watching him as much as opening her own presents.
Well, I'm all cozy in my new slippers and Haleigh is anxious to look at American Girl doll beds. I hope everyone has a wonderful last hour of Christmas!

Christmas Day was really nice at your house. The food was great, it was decorated so nicely...I just wish Aidan was friendlier to everyone. He was just sick & not himself.

True, we didn't get to do nearly what we had hoped, but it was still nice seeing everyone (mom included, lol).

You want a white Christmas? You guys are invited to join us for Christmas ANY TIME! I mean it. We were actually thinking of trying to invite people for Thanksgiving.

Tell Jack his cousins miss him. Brennan has said his name still a few times. Cute.

Hopefully 2009 will be a good year!
