Christmas Cheer

Imagine my shock when I found out what we were originally planning on getting the girls for Christmas would not be here by Christmas...in fact, it would be 4 weeks late. (More on that later.) So, 2 days before Christmas, I ventured out, hoping for a Christmas miracle! Because really, what kind of parent doesn't get their children Christmas presents? Just ones that procrastinate which is exactly what happened.
Luckily, a few weeks prior to Christmas, I caught Genevieve playing the air guitar. Yep, that was quite the sight! And at that point, she mentioned that she would like a guitar, like Kiki from the Fresh Beat Band (a Nickelodeon show.) So, I get to the store and feel as if there was a time-lapse, back to Black Friday. It was crazy! I somehow managed to get a parking spot within a mile range, but carts were few and far between. I went straight to the guitar aisle and found...that's right...the last remaining guitar! And hoping that Jocelyn wouldn't be upset that she didn't get a guitar, I got her a keyboard so she could play in Jenna's band...the Fresh Beat Band! :)


We spent Christmas this year with my family and we will then celebrate Christmas with the McCoys on New Years day. Nate was thankful for his gift and wanted to thank Sam for remembering him on his birthday. We don't know if Sam was weirded out by the abundance of affection from Nate, or if we are just getting a glimpse of his bitter beer face brought on by his can of Coors? I don't know...which is worse?


Genevieve really likes to take everything in

I'm pretty sure that Jocelyn was thankful for her gift from her PaPou. What do you think?
