My mom is going to kill me when she sees this picture of her, but I think her expression is hilarious! I helped my Dad pick out a few Christmas presents for my mom. The pajamas were a hit... BUT the random scrapbooking items were a mystery to her. I think she wondered why the hell my Dad would be giving her a bunch of scrapbooking/stamping stuff. In my brilliant fast thinking I thought she would love getting more 'stuff' to play with. As you can see on her face... I think I was wrong!
Here we are celebrating our Christmas Eve with our family and adopted family members! The Gleason's and the P's (not sure they want their last names here) ARE family! We had a great time playing Balderdash, eating, looking at pictures on the t.v., and opening gifts. Thanks to J, I get to feed my Indian food craving SOON!
My Mom and Meghan (my 'daughter' I'll never have) decorated the Gingerbread TRAIN! Once again, I think John Michael ate more candy than what was put on the train. I know all three of them had fun! I think Aaron joined in for a few minutes.
So I didn't get my Dad's present right for my mom, BUT the three of us (children) DID get one of the presents right! We chipped in to buy her a 10 inch digital frame. She absolutely loved it, and the boys did too. Melissa added pictures and scanned slides (when we were LITTLE) to the frame before hand. This was a big hit! We actually made her cry.
Aunt Melissa and her nephews! The picture says it all! The boys LOVE their Aunt! They were 'helping' Aunt Melissa wrap a present. Christmas Eve was very enjoyable. The boys chased their Uncle Ben around, and when the Gleason boys got there John Michael and Aaron had a blast with them! Although Shavonne was with us last Christmas, this is the first Christmas she is officially part of the family as Ben's wife. Welcome! We love you!
