Christmas 2009



Continuing with the theme of updating the blog and never-mind-the-absence-of-chronological-order, here's Ella J's first Christmas.

Great time. Christmas Eve day with Dad's side of the family in Temple. We had a wonderful time at Nanny Zelisko's house and visited and ate and celebrated together in a very fun visit.
Onto Mansfield for Christmas Eve and morning. Grandma and Grandpa were thrilled to see Ella J and spend the holiday with her. The older Ella J gets the more fun she is for Grandma and Grandpa. Ella J and Grandma Liz really like each other and have a special bond.
Mom and Dad got to sneak away and see a movie and play games at the arcade at the mall. Air Hockey: Dad 2, Mom 0 (but I did kick his butt on our first date, multiple times).
We all got caught up on rest and absence of good, home-cooked holiday food. Dad met his yearly quota of peanut butter balls in one weekend (36).
On the way back home we stopped in Temple at Grandma Jeanie's and had a really nice visit with her and Michael and got the update on Buckholts Christmas.
Great Christmas. Definitely spent the way it should be and definitely look forward to spending many more together.
