Fun, fun, day!! We started the day waking up at my parents house and Papa doing a devotion about Jesus birth and remember the real meaning of Christmas. We then opened gifts from each other. The funny gifts this year that we laughed a ton about were Papa's bedroom shoes that looked like he had two left feet. We all laughed till we cried and he walked around looking like an elf. Kay-Kay got a shaker weight and we all tried to "work it" but none of the girls could get it to work. Kay-Kay said in 30 days everyone is going to be searching for one because her arms are going to look so good. Mallory said that the doctor said "no more KayKay shakin that thang". (No more monkeys jumping on the bed).
Then we went home and opened our gifts to each other and the girls and we gave the girls a trip to Disney World. They were really excited, but TG is already nervous about the trip. Whatever... probably just trying to get a charge out of us. We are going to have a blast!!! We also had fun giving Lily her Christmas gifts. She was spoiled this Christmas!!!
After a nap, we went to the Rice Family Christmas party and had a BIG time. The Chinese gift exchange was extra fun this year. Lots of pretend arguing over a shaker weight, a donut pillow, and Gamecock tervis tumblers. Guess who was in the middle of all of it??? You guessed it... Lulu, Jane, Hope, and me. They said next year I am disqualified and we need a security guard. It was so funny!!! We also reminisced about our girls weekend when we took Lulu and KayKay to Childress winery for their birthdays and the BIG time we had and all the laughs from too much wine tasting.
Finally, when we got home Mallory was a busy bee getting cookies ready for Santa, putting reindeer food outside, writing a note to Santa about Snowy's (elf on the shelf) hat breaking, and putting place cards on the couch labeling where their gifts were to go so Santa doesn't get it wrong. She got frustrated at TG because she wasn't helping, so I told TG she better help or Mallory might catch on. This is the first year that TG realized that Santa wasn't real. Means she is growing up.:( Mallory just came out of her room after going to bed to tell me she forgot to give Santa milk to go with his cookies. I am so glad we still get to play for her. I will really be sad when they both don't believe anymore. We will still play along though. We always say, "You don't believe, you don't receive".
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!! Happy Birthday Jesus!
