Oh thrill of hope, a weary world rejoices

Christmas celebration #4:
Sadly, I don't have any pictures yet from the White family Christmas. I left my camera at Eric's parents and knew that Terry would take better ones anyway. We had the White Christmas at 5pm Christmas night so that the most of us as possible could be there to celebrate together. Jordan and his family, our family, Megan (Chris had to work Christmas day at Starbucks), Brandon and Liza, Grandma Laverne, Big Nana, and Nana and Grandpa were all there. It was a full fun house!:) Terry made a yummy dinner and after we ate it was on to the stockings. The girls got lots of great things. Mali's favorite were her watch and fuzzy slipper cowgirl boots (that Eleri also has a pair to match). The girls also got some great matching fleece pajamas. We got a gift card to Pei Wei, lots of monogrammed items and home decorations, as well as our yearly calendars! I was wondering if Terry would get Eric a lab, weimar or vizsla calendar...she went with golf to be safe!:) We love our stockings. The girls got great gifts from their aunts and uncles and Grandpa and Nana! Mali got more pink legos, a dippin' dots maker, moon sand, a make your own stickers and tutu kits, TAG boooks, and some more style clothes. Eleri got a penguin ball bopper, a musical walker, a pink flip phone, megablocks, Leapfrog Fridge ABC's, and some soft stuffed animals. This is not an exhaustive list; and the girls loved everything!!! We are sooo very blessed and a little spoiled! I might just secretly hope that they make the naughty list next year....or Santa brings us a playroom!:) The highlight of the night HAD to be the visit from Santa. It was hilarious! Eric dressed up as Santa and brought gifts to each kid. He also took pictures with the Great Grandmas and Liza. Eleri was very scared of Santa, but Jove wasn't at all. We weren't sure if Austin was going to cry or was scared or what. We still aren't sure if the kids believed it was the real Santa, but when Eric returned the outfit the bottom of the costume was hanging out of the bag....and the cat was out of the bag for Mali. She said she knew it was "Eric" because Santa's voice sounded like "Eric". It was a fun memory. Here are some of Terry's pictures off of facebook, so they aren't high quality.
