Last night (Christmas eve), Tom's parents, his grandmother, and his brother and his wife came over and we exchanged gifts with them and ate some of the 6 foot of sub we bought from Blimpies. It was good! Tom's parents took Katie with them to the big Sightler family Christmas celebration. While she was out of the house, Tom put together Katie's presents that needed putting together. Unfortunately Brittanie had to work and they had quite a night! She said most people didn't realize Wal-Mart was closed and decided to come to them instead. She said all of the stalls at Sonic were full and the drive thru was wrapped around the building to the point where people were waiting in the median of the highway waiting to turn in! According to the totals, they did over twice as much business as a normal "busy" night. She was exhausted when she got home.
Today, Tom's parents and grandmother came over to watch the girls open their gifts. Here is the run down of what we got:
Tom: Carolina Panthers football for his office, Madden 2007 PC game from me, Polo shirts, Dockers pants, and Dockers socks from me. The girls' gifts for Tom didn't make it in time but they gave Tom a golf shirt with a Linux penguin on it and it says "Failure is not an option. It comes standard with Windows" and a T-shirt that says "No I will not fix your computer. GET LINUX!"
Me: Victoria's Secret Dream Angels "Heavenly" perfume, clothes, and a new phone with a color display and musical ring tones. (I LOVE IT!!)Brittanie: Stereo, Nintendo DS with a case and two extra stylus pens, Mario Kart for her Nintendo DS, an Ipod adapter for her car so she can control and play her Ipod through her car radio, and outdoor quad roller skates so she can become a car hop. (The first thing she said when she opened the skates was "You got me something for work? Gee thanks mom!" LOL) But she loved them because they are pretty. She practiced skating with them as she has never skated on anything but inline skates before and she busted her butt a couple of times because with inline skates the brake is on the heel. With quad skates, the stop is under the toes. It is going to take practice but she will get it. She is great at inline skating so she will get this too.
Katie: (Katie got alot more stuff but we spent more money on Brittanie. The older they get, the more expensive they are!) Disney Princess bike, Disney/Pixar "Cars" table and chairs set, "Cars" toy organizer, "Cars" racetrack, "Cars" Lightning McQueen talking car that you can program to drive itself, "Cars" Hot Wheels cars of all of the major characters, "Cars" alarm clock, "Cars" Doodle Pro, "Cars" spiral racetrack, Toss Across game, and Charlie Coal grill. (When Brittanie had her dress altered for the military ball back in February, the seamstress had this grill in the shop and Katie had a blast playing with it both times we went in there and asked me to get her one for her birthday. I forgot about it then but remembered for Christmas.) She has been playing with her new toys all day and making us play grilled hamburgers and hot dogs to eat. I think her two favorites are the grill and the talking Lightning McQueen. I got her a "Cars" camping set but it didn't make it here in time for Christmas.
All in all, we had a very good Christmas. Poor Brittanie is working herself to death but looking forward to that BIG paycheck. Tom's parents were here when Katie got up from her nap yesterday. They were here again when she woke up this morning. So a minute ago, Katie asked me if Grandpa was going to be here when she got up tomorrow morning. I told her no. She said "Awwww man!" She hung her head and went back to her play room. She loves that Grandpa!
