Christmas 2009

Due to the fact that I couldn't travel this year, we had Christmas at our house, which was a nice change. We got up, I got the turkey in the oven, ate breakfast, open gifts then made and ate lunch. After that, Mimi, Papa and Matthew headed for Dallas to have Christmas with GreatGrandaddy and Annemaw. We missed Matthew but enjoyed the time to ourselves and Matthew had a great time in Dallas!

Matthew getting ready to open up gifts, wearing his Santa hat, that I had to beg him to wear and he refused to wear after the pic.

I heard Kathy Lee on Tv one day saying that they only gave their children 3 gifts for Christmas because that's all that was brought to Jesus, so we decided to do that from now on(including Santa's gift, but not including gifts from others)

Opening his gifts, 1st one from Santa, Stanley the train from Thomas the Train
2nd one, Sir Topham Hat from Thomas the Train(the train contoler)

His gift from Papaw and Mamaw, more train tracks!! Are we noticing a theme yet?LOL
