Christmas

Merry Christmas!  Let me preface this post by saying we didn't send out Christmas cards this year.  Sorry.  If we would have, you would have received one.  I love receiving Christmas cards, so I hope to make it up somehow.   
                       

                       Here some memories from our Christmas morning:

Stockings

                                                             Presents and Hugs

        Kayla made this poinsettia out of paper for Aunt Diane at school; then at home she made one for the rest of us.

Best moment of the morning:  Aunt Diane opens Kyle's gift to her.  I saw my kids were wrapping secret gifts and making fun things, but I didn't know what they were giving and to who.  Imagine my surprise, when she opened her gift, which was a binder full of Kyle's writing from 1st grade, and a folder full of Kindergarten keepsakes.  Apparently he thought they were his to give away instead of MINE!  Of course, it was such a thoughtful gift, and Aunt Diane is willing to make copies of it to share with us, so it all worked out.

Most awaited gift of the morning: the news of where Grandma and Grandpa Westwood would be taking our whole extended family on vacation in May:  A Carribean Cruise!!  Wahoo!!  We are sooooo excited!
