We just got back from having our last Christmas down in Longview and Vancouver. The first night was at my parents house. My mom cooked dinner and it was great as usual. Even though I gave her a bad time about it because it was a meal I didn't really like growing up it was fab-u-lous! Alyssa finally got her little princess car that I had been hearing soooo much about for the last month or so. It's very cute! It has most of the Disney princess's on it and makes lots of wonderful noises. Alyssa can sit on it and enjoys pushing all the buttons and honking the horn but is still a tad short from reaching the floor with both feet. She does get the biggest grin when you push her on it.
The next day we headed down to Vancouver to spend with Cory's brother and his family. The guys went to some golf discount store or something and us woman and Nolan hung out. Well the kids actually napped most of the time and Amanda and I caught up, baked, and had yummy margaritas. That evening the Grandparents and G. Grammy came down and we had dinner, played games and opened up presents. The kids both got more great presents. Aunt Mandy got Alyssa this wonderful picture for her wall from a local artist. It's just the cutest thing. It has a picture with a fairy kissing a huge moon and on the bottom it says "catching some Z's." My description doesn't do it justice but it is so darn cute!We headed home on New Years and we were very happy to be back and get back to normal. Cory had to work and I ended up going to bed late for me but still in 2008. We both woke up around midnight because of the war zone going on outside and Harley terrified. We said "Happy New Year" and both rolled over and went back to bed. How exciting we are. Well at least Cory has an excuse. Today we are headed over to a friends house which has become a New Years day tradition. They cook up this great southern meal and we grub! I'm really excited to see them and all the other friends that will be there!
Happy New Years to everyone and wish everyone the best!
