Christmas Eve we spent at home then Christmas day went to my parent's house. Jared, Patty, Simon and Mark were suppose to come Christmas Eve night, but because of the weather got stuck in Lubbock. We didn't think we would get to see them at all, but they showed up Christmas day around noon. It took them about three and a half hours to get to Amarillo when it normally takes two. I knew they were coming, but mom and dad didn't so it was a fun surprise. They rest of the day was spent on Wayne's Christmas present (which he gave to himself) the Wii. I have video of a certain grandma in her sweat pants doing the hula hoop on the wii, with the video having been shot from behind...however, since I value my life you will not be seeing it on here! Everyone looked like an idiot playing, it was a lot of fun. Brancent left Christmas morning to go hunting with his dad and nephew. They were going to his friend Jesse's house near Austin and ran into weather so it was a long day for him. He did kill a deer and his nephew killed a wild hog. Brancent has made some amazing deer jerky. It didn't last very long!
Katie flew in December 27. We had Christmas with Brancent's family on the 28th. It's always funny to see how Jacob reacts when he sees Katie. When he first saw her he acted shy and then later when she was sitting in the floor he ran and gave her a long big hug. Luckily my camera was nearby...
Katie is so silly. One day I heard her making funny noises and Jacob came running down the hall and grabbed my leg and pointed to his room. He was smiling, but looked a little unsure. I went to his room where he and Katie had been playing and saw the monster...
HA! She gets an A+ for creativity! She is a very good big sister. For New Years we went to Nelva and Wayne's house for a Wii marathon. After Jacob went to bed Katie, Brancent and I went to Starbucks for some "just the 3 of us" time. We all got several Starbucks gift cards and we put them to good use the week she was here.It amazes me how much Katie changed in the 6 years I have known her. The little girl I loved before I meet her is becoming a young women. Boys are normally the topic of choice, she keeps me on my toes!
Jacob was not really into opening the gifts as much as we thought he would be. Once something was opened his interest peaked. We had to go get him from his room where he was playing a few times so he could come see his gifts. It was funny, but I think next year will be a whole different story.
The picture in the middle of Katie laughing was when she got her Christmas gift from her baby brother. Jacob got her a Jacob (from New Moon, AKA Taylor Lautner) pillow case, cause he's a cutie ya know! I told Katie since she drooled over him she might as well drool on him in her sleep!
