Christmas and Cole's Stay

We have been so blessed this Christmas with all the family coming in for the holidays. Remember in my last blog, I wish my family would be with us for Christmas Eve mass. Well, Jessica did surprise me. I hardly recognized her. I saw her staring and smiling at me but I didn't even know it was her. It must have been how she had her hair pulled back. I can't believe I didn't even recognized my own daughter. he.he.

Christmas was alot of fun. Danielle couldn't wait to open presents. We had to open them around 5:30am. so Bryan could open them with us. Poor guy had to be at work at 6:30am. The day went good for him though.

Janet, Justin, Cole and Natalie arrived on the 26th. We opened gifts with them on that day as well. Cole had a blast opening gifts, especially a monster car my dad gave him. He just ran all over the wrapping paper and boxes. He was so funny!! Natalie has to be the prettiest little girl I have ever seen. She is so alert and loves to be laid down to look at everything.

Janet, Justin and Natalie went back on Monday and left Cole with us. We are taking him back on New Year's Day. We have had a blast with him. He is such a good boy. He is also a good eater. Breakfast and supper have to be his favorite meals of the day. Last night we stopped off at Taco Villa and he ate a whole cheese Quesadilla, that's a big boy for me!

Today we are taking him to see the airplanes at the Slaton airport. I can't wait to see his face when he see those big airplanes. Grandpa has taken him around the field to see the cotton modules and tractors. He is a big fan of tractors. While he ate breakfast this morning he watched through the window a tractor plowing out in the field.

Everyday we sit with him to play trucks and tractors on his new little rug I bought to keep here at our house.

Thank you Janet and Justin for letting him stay. His stay has been our greatest gift for Christmas.

Hope everyone has a safe and restful New 2009!!
