Christmas High and Lows....but mostly highs!

We had a really great Christmas. The best part was that we woke up with snow! Emma and I are the biggest fans of snow and we were overjoyed waking up to the white landscape.

Christmas Eve was another adventurous night at Mami Yoli's house. We always have a good time spending it with cousins and Aunts and Uncles. We were sad not to have spent Christmas Day with Ben's parent's which was a Christmas tradition in the past. But it probably was a good thing this year because Matthew, Emma and I ended up getting a nasty stomach bug. Matthew was the first to get sick but he still enjoyed the fun items Santa had brought him. Among his favorites - his Brachiasoraus and his Leapster 2 (from Mami Olgui). For Emma she hit the jackpot with a hair curler, new roller skates and a new leotard for ballet. I think Ben enjoyed his gift from Emma. She picked it out herself. It is Georgia Bulldogs t-shirt or as she calls it a "Go Georgia Bulldogs" shirt! I enjoyed the Coat that Ben surprised me with. He has always been great at picking out gifts!

Sick but happy!

Although we didn't get to spend Christmas Day with Ben's parents we did get to spend some time with Steve and Jeneca. We all spent the night in Peachtree City with Ben's grandparents. Although Matthew and I got sick while everyone was sleeping we had a good time hanging out! I always have a fun time with Steve and Jenaca and I think I was the most sad to have to say good-bye to them.

Christmas is so fun at our house. Emma seems to have the Christmas spirit in her like her mother. We both love to decorate, listen to Christmas music and wish for snow! We enjoy making cookies for Santa and wrapping presents. It is just a wonderful time to be around family and feel the great love we have for each other. So although we missed Grandma and Grandad Jett and we had some yucky sickness going around - it was still a great Christmas!
