Christmas 2014

This year was a good Christmas all around. Clayton and I attended the Anadarko Christmas party this year and had a good time. This was not a year to miss the party as Maroon 5 was the performer and it was pretty cool seeing them perform so close.

 

Last Christmas in Clayton’s stocking was a snowball shooter and this year Tess is big enough to play with it. She loved playing snowball fight and shooting the snowballs all over the living room.

 

Mona and Kevin came down the weekend before Christmas and brought down a SUV filled with presents for Tess. She loved it and couldn’t wait to open all the presents. Last year she was only good at pulling the tissue paper out of the bags and this year she could rip the paper off the boxes. She was ready to get the toys out of the boxes as she opened them up. It was fun watching her open all her presents.

On Christmas Day Tess and I met Clayton and everyone else at my Parents house. We ate made from scratch waffles for breakfast and then started to divvy up the presents into piles for everyone with Tess’ pile being in the middle. She again loved opening her presents and once she was done with hers she went around the room and helped everyone else open theirs. Sometimes she would even open  a present for someone else.

I think this was the best Christmas yet. The only problem we had is that we had to pack up most of her presents because we were putting our house on the market at the beginning of the year and couldn’t have a lot of clutter. So once we move into the new house and unpack, it will be like Christmas all over again.
