We had a wonderful Christmas. Luckily, it was slow, Cole was able to spend most of the day with Dawsyn and I. Santa Claus made his way to our house, and we were all pleased with what he left for us. Cole, much-needed church clothes and shoes, desperately needed socks and make-up for me and my favorite, a jar lifter for canning. Yeah, I had enough of trying to get the bottles out of the canner with hot pads! See the pictures below for all of Dawsyn's loot! We were happy to spend Christmas Eve with the Douglas family and then have breakfast at Grandma Bulloch's. Grandma is quite the waitress, even at 91. I know that many walked away having eaten way more pancakes than they planned. No small pancake either, they were at least 6 or 7 inches in diameter. Grandma would just dump it on the closest plate. What a lady! Dawsyn and I had plans to travel to Koosharem for a couple of days. When we heard the stomach flu was going around up there, we decided to stay home. We missed Grandma and Grandpa T and all the aunts, uncles and cousins up there. We hope to join in the bowling next time we are up! It is hard to believe that it is over for another year. However, we look forward to many things in 2009. Mostly, Dawsyn's 1st birthday, maybe by then she will be a little more interested in unwrapping (she loved the wrapping paper once it was off). Maybe we will find the time for a family vacation this year? We hope you all had a merry and safe Christmas. Enjoy the pictures.
