I feel like we need to get t-shirts made..."The Hays-Hammond Family Survived Xmas '07!" I wasn't sure how we would handle not having my mother with us. She was THE Christmas Spirit, in my opinion. She made sure my kids had everything they wanted...including HER version of Xmas stockings (overflowing in gift bags). She also "adopted" a family in need and made sure they also had what they desired. Even without her, we made it through.
The kids awoke at 5:30 and the fun began. My work-partner, Scott G., came over after his shift for breakfast and gifts. The kids couldn't wait to exchange presents with him! He is a big kid himself, so he got them XBox 360 games. They got him some of his favorites, including Starbuck's. What more could a guy want?!? The coolest of all of the gifts......the beverage cooler that chills a can of soda in 1 minute and a bottle of wine in 6 minutes! WOW! That was given to us by Scott G. - thanks buddy! You know how we like our vino!!!!
Paul and I celebrated our 15th anniversary on the 27th of December. Yes....maybe we need shirts for THAT mile-marker as well...lol. We dined at Chili's with the kids and Paul gave me a beautiful diamond necklace....very unexpected as we usually don't even manage to exchange cards!
Christmas 2007: an enjoyable success!
