Christmas 2008

This year we stayed in Kentucky to enjoy Christmas morning at home. We opened up gifts then packed up the truck for our trip to St. Louis. The kids loved their presents. Ryan and Brinley especially loved the new kitchen and supplies they received. Ethan and Ashton haven't stopped playing their new Nintendo DS's. We had a great Christmas.

Ashton's Kindergarten Christmas Program 2008

Tonight we had the pleasure of attending Ashton's Kindergarten Christmas Program. He was an elf - just like everyone else. He did a great job. They each had a part to memorize and sang many songs. My part was hearing the kids sing Feliz Navidad. I think it was my favorite because I can't sing it!!! It was fun seeing a few of the neighbor kids in the program as well. Good job Ashton, Allie and Donovan!

On the Fourth Day of Christmas . . .

This post is mainly for Grandma & Grandpa in Florida and Grandma in St. Louis. There are 2 videos. One I picked, the other Matt picked. You MAY be able to figure out who picked what.

Toyota Tsusho Christmas Party 2008

Tonight was Matt's work Christmas Party. The nice thing about their Christmas Party is the entire family is invited. It was held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lexington. They provide a room for you to drop off your children that is monitored by several young adults. In the room they had crafts, snacks, movies, bounce house, bounce slide, and more. Even Brinley joined in the fun this year. They had a special buffet for the children which included chicken strips, mac and cheese, hot dogs, and more. The kids were in HEAVEN! (and so were Matt and I). We had to "check out" our children for dinner and when Santa arrived. Santa brought gifts to each of our children. Unfortunately Ryan is totally freaked out by Santa so Matt had to sit on Santa's lap to recieve Ryan's gift. The kids had a great time. They were lucky enough to play with a few friends from their school that were also at the party. Matt also had some good luck. He won the grand prize. It was a Tom Tom GPS. When he went up to get the prize he notified them he didn't need a GPS because he has a wife. Good man!!! It was a really nice night. I actually look forward to his company Christmas Party each year.
