Christmas

We had a lot of fun this Christmas we had Grandma and Grandpa Barrett come and visit this year which we love visitors. Gavin got so many gifts this year probably way to many. He got a Cars magnetic book, cars plate and cup sets, velcro ball catch game from Grandma and Grandpa Barrett. He got a remote car and cash register and books from Grandma and Grandad Parker. He got a T-ball set from Santa. He got a Fire Truck and Vacuum from mom and dad. He got books from Becky, Matt and Colton and Tomas the Train and light wand from Mike, Amy and the gang. He loves everything every time we would get him to open a gift we couldn’t get him to open any other he wanted to “Play” so opening gifts took a long time. Chris and I were very spoiled also, we got a very expensive Bosch from Grandma and Grandpa Barrett which we made some yummy sugar cookies. And from Grandma and Grandad Parker we got a nice gun cabinet and mom is planning on taking me clothes shopping when she comes to visit in February I can’t wait especially because I will hopefully be a little skinner then well until Diana comes to visit and I get eating a lot of treats when she is around. And Grandad and Chris can watch Gavin while we go. Becky, Matt and Colton gave Chris a nice new black shirt and me scrapbooking supplies, which I can always use, and love. Mike, Amy and the gang gave us some super soft sheets for the bed Amy is so good at remembering things that I mention that I want to buy. As usual, Bean and John say they have a gift and it will be shipped. They are so cute and there gift is always late but it is so fun to get to open more gifts later. They are so sweet to remember us and spend money on us when they don’t need to. Almost forgot Santa got us a BBQ Grill. Chris was so sweet to give me (Helena) a Play pack for baby Brody, scrapbooking wants and cute PJ pants. I got Chris some shirts for work to make us money, memory card for Playstation 2, Chipotle gift card and Gavin gave dad a flashlight.

HOly Cow! Sounds like you guys did well for Christmas. It also sounds like the Parker side siblings aren't as cheap as Braydan's side :) I'm working on him :) I'm glad G&G Barett could be there, even though I'm jelous. What did you guys do for new years? You better post about it!

Sure had a good time at Chris and Helena's. Forgot how much fun little kids have opening presents and playing with all the new toys. They even had a Christmas tree. We are kind of bah hum bug at our house. But, there was a little more Christmas spirit down there. Sure didn't miss the cold and snow for Christmas. It could have been a little warmer. But, it was late December. We played hearts for New Years. Very fun. The boys naturally won.
