We had a nice Christmas too. Nate came over last night and with the snow drifting so badly he ended up spending the night in our guest room so we actually had him and Jaci this morning. We always fill the kids' stockings on Christmas Eve so Glen and I came up with some stuff to put in a stocking for him, several things made us all laugh!

The four of us opened our gifts together. Glen didn't get me any gifts this year since I bought myself some jewelry so I only got a few little things from Jaci. After lunch we opened gifts with the other kids and it's always so much fun seeing them open their gifts....the girls are always so excited about theirs!! I just love their laughter!!! Little Karlie was sooo much fun to watch as she exclaimed over each gift!!

Jaci and Dae Lynn always did something whenever it would snow together......they would run barefoot across the yard and back......so Jaci had Nate roll up his pant legs and all the time he was asking "Why?" She made him run across the yard with her in probably 8 inches of snow!!! They were both freezing by the time they got back inside!!! She'll probably still have him doing it even after they're married!!!!

Glen has an Aunt that's never been married and doesn't have a family of her own and when Glen found out that she didn't have any plans for today he went and got her and brought her out to our house so she could spend the day with us. She was so grateful that anytime she thanked us she had tears in her eyes. She's always been one that I enjoyed being around so I really didn't mind.

We all had such a good time. It's just always so short because some of the kids have to leave to go to other family gatherings. I understand but I hate to see them leave. All in all it was a good day!!
