MEMORABLE THINGS AT CHRISTMAS...

Leanne laying on the couch sick as a dog while everyone else is opening Christmas presents...

Devin opening every gift without really looking at what was in the package...He just liked opening the gifts.

Marcus laughing his head off when Devin opened a present of ABC bath letters. He said, "Devin, you know your ABC's. Say your alphabet." Devin looked at his Dad with a puzzled expression and said, "Alphabet."

Leanne looking sicker and sicker.

Ryane opening a present that was a camera, leaning back on the couch and saying, "Well,...I guess this means everyone thinks I'm old enough for a camera."

Ryane taking a picture of each one of her gifts.

Gracie retreating deeper and deeper into "GRACIE LAND" with each gift she opened, especially after she put her earphones on.

Leanne (who loves putting things together) looking at one of Micha's gifts (which has to be put together) and saying "oh, it has to be put together" and laying back down on the couch.

Marcus really getting into Devin's new car that plays 50's music and has spinning wheels.

Micha getting his first Batman p.j.'s

Papaw gettin out his handy little tool to take all the little things out of the kids presents, saying what he always says, "Man! They make these things so noone can get into them!!"

Grandma and Papaw getting gigantic Mr. Goodbar's from the kids.

Grandma and Micah fighting over her Mr. Goodmar. He was sitting in my lap and kept pulling the bow off my candybar. Then he was chewing on the Christmas wrapping. When I finally took it away from him, he threw a fit. Leanne said, "no wonder he threw such a fit, look at it!" He had chewed through the Christmas wrapping in one corner, and then chewed through the candy wrapping all the way to the chocolate. He was going to town on that chocolate.

Leanne wishing we'd all go home.

Ryane trying to get her new slippers on over her new thick fuzzy socks with cardboard in the slippers. "I think they're too little!

Eating Christmas "Speghetti" at Leanne and Marcus's house on Christmas Eve. Give me chapter and verse that says it has to be turkey and dressing. Besides, Marcus makes good speghetti.

Kids are so funny when it's time to open gifts. So honest. You always hear things like...another one?....hey, this is just like that other one!...I really like this and I really wanted a red one...what is it?...just say thank you!!...

Leanne happy to see us leave so she could keep being sick.

These were fun things to observe.
