Christmas Visitors
Dad and Betty arrived last Sunday to stay with us through Christmas morning. I think they are very excited to watch the amazement of little boys on Christmas morning. We had a good visit Sunday as we enjoyed many Wii games dad brought with them. It was a year ago that Mark and I introduced dad to the Wii. Our favorite game is Playground and Camden can even do that one himself.
On Monday Betty and I took the boys to an open gym play at Rolly Pollies. It was full of children and loud but very fun for the boys! While we were out doing that dad headed over to Fry’s Electronics and he bought the store out with all new and high end computer gadgets to upgrade our very old (we were still running Windows 2000) computer. It is now amazing and complete with a 22 inch LCD monitor, Vista, and great graphics card that can handle anything we throw at it. Since we were doing all these upgrades we decided to join the technology world and increase our broadband from 256K to 3M. Boy I sound quite intelligent this morning with all my computer talk. (I am sure something I have written is incorrect…) Monday night Mark and I took them out to eat at a yummy restaurant.
Tuesday was mellow and lazy. We took our time getting ready and trying things out on the new computer. Mark and the boys played Wii and Betty and I did a little shopping. We had lunch at Joe’s BBQ in downtown Gilbert. That was good. Ty (my friend Nikki’s little boy) came to spend the afternoon with us. We went to the park and played and then came home and I made meatloaf for dinner. Then we all piled into the van for one last night of Cocoa and Christmas lights.
Today is Christmas Eve. Mark and I feel it is very important that we impress the true meaning of Christmas is about God’s gift to us and how special baby Jesus was and is! Tonight we will read about the Christmas story and open one present (always PJs, but we might let them open the gifts from Aunt Traci and Uncle Lee as well). My Grandma is coming over in the late afternoon to enjoy a lasagna dinner with all of us. It will be very nice to spend time together.
