Christmas Fun and close out 2008 and Happy New Year 2009

Well even though this is the first post of 2009, this is a wrap up of 2008, in December we did all sorts of fun stuff. The kids were part of the Christmas play at church, in which Charlie and Levi were angels (they are very good actors) and Charlie was also a Rock Star and Lindsey was one of Charlie’s groupies.

Cameron was able to get some time off and took the boys bowling on Christmas Eve, and of course there was all the fun of opening gifts on Christmas morning. We picked up Cameron’s dad on Christmas morning and brought him over to be with us when we opened gifts, and to have lunch (Christmas Dinner). After we took Papa home we went to the park, this has now become a tradition I guess since this is the second year in a row that we have gone to this park on Christmas day. We spent most of the days after Christmas enjoying our new family gift, new cell phones with QWERTY keyboards and unlimited text, so needless to say we have been texting each other from room to room, thank goodness for unlimited text, so far since Christmas day here are the text totals (this is just 7 days) : Laura – 495, Cameron – 316, Lindsey – 721, Charlie – 860. Charlie enjoys texting just to say Hi every now and then.

After Christmas we made our way to Raleigh to try and find some great deals, but it turned out to just be a good day out of the house (where are all the deals I thought were going to out there). Yesterday we enjoyed the good weather and cleaned up the back yard, and last night Lindsey went to a lock in at a local church with one of her friends and the rest of us just stayed home and watched the new year arrive on tv. And sent plenty of Happy New Year texts of course

So that about does it for 2008, I hope everyone has a blessed and fruitful new year.
