We had a wonderful "Christmas" day, celebrated on the 15th of December at Nita and Geary's house. We bucked the "traditional" feast and opted for a lighter fare, indulging in sandwiches, salad, chips, dips and lots of yummy desserts! After lunch, we opened presents!!! It was so much fun with all the kids, 6 to be exact. They all have so much personality and are at a fun age, so them opening presents was entertaining for all of us. With the expense of buying for all of the kids, the grown-up kids draw names and each person buys for one other person. Well, Allie drew me and anyone who knows me know that I asked for and got some fun kitchen stuff. Josh drew Caleb and as predictable as me, Caleb got some electronics- a new CD! Everyone did not leave empty-handed and we were all blessed with wonderful time with family and great gifts!

Despite our request for Kaylee to make her grand entrance after presents, she did not comply and Allie left that night as pregnant as when she got there. Oh well... little did we know that she would be coming just a few days later!! Allie and Matt became official parents on December 18th at 10:32 p.m. to Kaylee, who weighed in at 7 lb 13 oz. Kaylee is a darling baby and after having to spend an extra 7 days in the hospital because of an infection, she came home the day after Christmas. She is home and doing well..doing all the normal things babies do: eating, sleeping and pooping! We are a proud uncle and aunt for the 12th time!
