Christmas Eve started out by taking my Grandma to Christmas Eve church services at 4:00pm. After that we went straight over to Dick and Sherry's house where we celebrate Christmas with Tony's sister Lori. Her present to both girls was Cheetah Girls concert tickets that they went to 3 weeks before Christmas. Tony's brother Nick was able to make it home. He lives in Chicago and started a new job, so he wasn't quite sure when he was going to make it home.
Christmas morning consisted of the normal morning Santa routine. Santa brought the girls "Rock Band" which we all played a few times (more like 20) after all of the gifts were opened. The big items this year for the girls were a cell phone & stereo for Taylor and an MP3 player & CD alarm clock for Kaylee. I was suprised with a diamond (v-shaped) necklace I had my eye on when I was sick and sulking about not being able to join in on the fun on "Black Friday". Tony had picked out his present in September so we could pre-order it. Suprise, it was a new guitar for his collection. This one is a Kenny Wayne Shepard special edition. It arrived the Tuesday after Christmas which turned out to be ok since he was off of work for that whole week. the guitar is black with grey racing stripes down the middle and Kenny's signature on the back. It is gorgeous!!!
The rest of the day on Christmas consisted of a great brunch made by my mother-in-law. She makes egg casserole and sweet rolls. YUM!! Tony and I and the girls, and even, Dick & Sherry, all bought my Grandma a present so she could be a part of the gift opening. My Grandma was tickled pink and very grateful. Of course, the following week she made us all bread!!! That't my Grandma!!!MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY 2009!!!
