Christmas 2008

We are resting after a busy Christmas season. After Christmas eve services, we drove 3 1/2 hours south from Springfield, MO to North Little Rock, AR for the Morgan Family Christmas. We had to deliver a special Christmas gift that my sister got for my nephew and niece.














His name is Gizmo. They were so excited to see him on Christmas morning. We got to keep him for the weekend so the kids wouldn't know about him. My sister put him on the front door step on Christmas morning and had the kids open the door. Their reaction was great. They had to keep asking their mom and dad if he was really theirs to keep!















From there we went north to Conway, AR to Granny Ingram's for Christmas. The only way to explain the event is 35 people + small living room + dirty santa gift exchange = CHAOS! We had a lot of fun, and we crashed hard that night.


















This morning we got up and drove further south to El Dorado, AR for the Glasgow Family Christmas. We got to eat lunch and exchange gifts with Dana's family. This was the first Christmas for the newest Glasgow, Grace.














She wasn't quite old enough to get the whole present thing, but she had tons of fun. She got some really cool presents, including the stylish shoes that came from us!
We had fun looking through the baby clothes trying to find just the right gift for her. We've got one more round tomorrow with the rest of Dana's family. We're excited to see them and visit with them. We're hoping to take some family photos that we can upload to our blog!
