Christmas Day comes and goes . . . ?

Christmas Day this year was very busy. But we loved it all the same. It's just the best being with family and seeing the joy that Christmas brings to their face.

Here is the breakdown of our hectic day:

*****************************

8:30 am:

We are at the Friess home having a small Montgomery Christmas.

Bailey opens her gift from Us. She was very good at pulling off the wrapping paper.

She loves her little doll. Her parents hope it will help her become a good big sister, in 7 weeks.

I received a Glider, its a fancy rocking chair and just what every expecting mother needs. It's covered in microfiber fabric and even has pockets on the side for burp cloths and binkys. I must note here that Robert woke up at 2 am to assemble this chair in the garage and then put it under the tree. He is such a great husband, thanks again babe!

Rob got a new pair of athletic shorts, the pair he is wearing are all stained and I thought a new pair would be nice.

9:10 am:

We go over to the Montgomery house (Senior) and have Christmas with Roberts parents. Even though we are going to the coast with them this coming weekend, they still spoiled us with gifts.

Bailey got another doll. This one was called Baby Pudgy, I wonder why.

She got a puffy bassinet to carry her baby dolls in. She prefers to put then all in at once and carry them around.

Grandma Tammie got perfume and it smelled great.

The newlywed's got a tool box so James can be more handy around the house.

Rob somehow got the same toolbox. He and James opened theirs at the same time because they are so used to getting matching gifts each year.

Grandpa Bob enjoys Bailey as she acts like a monkey, climbing on the table, other peoples presents, and the dog.

2:50 pm

We have now showered, played b-ball (the Tim Garlock Classic), cooked a lot of side dishes, and driven to Portland. We finished Christmas at Aunt Pams house. Since most of the Friess kids went to their Out-laws this year (it's the away year) our numbers were small, so we joined Aunt Pams small group and became an averaged sized group.

After an excellent meal we watched Great-Grandpa John open a couple of gifts. Bailey continued to hone her skills at pulling off wrapping paper.

Aunt Pam is sporting this years hottest look . . . the bow???

The boys do some gaming downstairs for most of the evening.

The sisters, the card sharks . . . It's Pam and Sharon!!!

We got home from Portland around 10:30 pm and were beat. Overall, it was a great Christmas and what makes it even better is it's not really over yet (for us). We still have the weekend beach trip with all the Monty's and then Christmas with all my Brothers and their families on January 1st.
