This year for Christmas we were going to spend a couple of days at Derek and Kelly's house so we opened our gifts on Christmas Eve before we left. We got a new television for Christmas which is so nice. The new thin flat screens are so much nicer than the big bulky ones that we currently have and the picture is so clear and bright. Thanks Santa!!
Brook made each of us a bookmark with our names on them and I got a braclet and Dad got cuff links that her and Brea made. This was a real treat and will be used all the time. The bookmarks will be with us constantly as we do read tons of books.
Danielle gave us a quilt that she made. We have not had a new quilt for 34 years and are still sleeping under the quilts that were made by both our mothers when we got married. I am so excited to retire the old quilts and begin with a new one.
We got a lot of fun gifts and can hardly wait to use them. There are not any pictures of the gifts that Dick got because he has already taken all his tools to his shop. OH WELL!!! but he did get lots of nice tools.
Christmas Eve was spent with the Madsen family in West Valley where we all gathered at Shannon and Jordan's house for the annual Christmas Eve party. Lots of good food and chatting.
Then it was on to Derek's where we waited the arrival of Santa and yes he did find those two little ones even though there were not any lights on the house, or a chimney for him to come down. There is a magic key that is placed on the door for Santa to use to come in when he stopped by their house.
It was a good Christmas Eve.
