| Christmas Eve with Coco |

| Christmas Morning in their New Chairs |
The girls were up early, I think, though I did not hear them until they came in an woke Evie and I around 7:15, excited, with a plea to come downstairs. As we got down, we could see a bike and Hayden wondered if it was for her or her Mom (it was for her). They proceeded to open their presents with abandon but they made it fun as no matter what they opened, it was greeted with excitement and thanks...nothing seemed to disappoint them. The highlights for both girls were watches, clothes from the Justice stores, like skinny jeans, an Itouch for Halle, a bike for Hayden. I would say they had a pretty good Christmas. After breakfast, we went upstairs with the girls, helped them to set up their Itouchs and reorganize Hayden's room, as she had to put her pink chair in there somewhere.
Jill and Drew went out shopping for a couple of things they forgot for dinner (I think they just wanted to get away for a few minutes from the madness). Later, we'll have appetizers, then deep fry the turkey in the backyard, and have a feast on Christmas Day. We miss all our family and friends, wish we could all be together. In fact, tomorrow we get to go to Walt and Patsi's for dinner, so we are excited about that. It's cold, a frost on the cars and grass this morning but sunny and clear, a great day for a walk in the woods, or to look at Xmas lights after dinner.
