Merry Christmas!

Wow, this weekend has flown by in a blur! On Christmas Eve I got off of work at noon which was very nice. I came home and finished wrapping Ryan's presents before he got home at 2:30. We left our house a little before 4:00 and stopped at his friends house for a quick visit and then we headed over to his parent's house for an early dinner. After dinner we went to the candlelight service at church and after that we went to see some Christmas lights with his parents. We finally got home at about 9:30pm and we watched A Christmas Story.

Santa visited out house that night and so in the morning we opened our presents and Ryan immediately started playing with his new toys. Libby came home and she got to open all of her presents from Santa. Santa was VERY good to her this year! :-) She got everything that she wanted. She was overjoyed ripping through all of the wrapping paper and tearing off bows to see what all she received. Santa brough her everything from her wish list: a DSi game system and game, a hula hoop, and a Puppy in My Pocket...we got her three zhu zhu pets and the zhu zhu car (she gets the playhouse and some other add-on for her birthday in a few days). She got some Build-A-Bear stuff, another DSi game from her godmother, and that is just the beginning of the list. But after all of that would you like to know what she was happiest about receiving? It was at the bottom of her stocking and the very last thing that she saw (we always do stockings last). It was a jar of peanut butter. I've never seen her that happy before! :-) She has told me for many months now that her dream is that the day that she gets her driver's license she is going to drive herself to the grocery store, buy a jar of peanut butter, and a plastic spoon, and then sit in her car and eat the peanut butter right out of the jar. Well, Santa thought she shouldn't have to wait until she is 16 to live out her dream. Here are the pictures of her finding the peanut butter (and you have to excuse the blurriness of the pictures but she was literally hopping around on the ground and flailing all around). By far her favorite gift...

Today we were out for about half of the day and when we got home I started cleaning up the kitchen. A few minutes later I went back to her room and this is what I saw...

Dream fulfilled!!
