Late the night before, reindeer food was "put out" by K'reesa and Carlie, so they would for sure stop at the Coley house. Carlie picked out Santa's cookies, and if you will note the picture, he seems to have put the big man on a diet this Christmas! :) There was much fun and laughter as the adults prepared for Christmas morning. Cookies disappeared, and gifts magically piled up underneath the tree. What a stack of presents! Bright and early Summer and Carlie woke us up and through their sleepy eyes saw bikes and 4 wheelers and boats and books and every kind of toy they could have wanted!!! That's what Christmas is all about, the children. And the "grown up" children who secretly enjoyed setting up and playing with all the toys!!! I think we each got what we wanted this year, and it was more than something wrapped in a pretty box with curly ribbons. It was family, and time with those you love. We had so much fun talking and laughing and just spending time together. And Christmas dinner, well let's just say you should have been there, it was amazing! :)

Christmas Eve 2008
Christmas Eve we met for a church service in San Antonio - in her pretty red Christmas dress, Summer was asleep in the car before we even got inside! After the festive service ended we met at "The Farm" for an evening together. What followed was a wild gift exchange where we each ended up with the very thing we brought! Chris a remote control helicopter from Sharper Image, Josh a budget breaking "Birthday" margarita blender, Kristin her prized coffee maker, Karen a veggie & fruit juicer, Bill a weather forcaster, Dee-Dee a hand beaded purse, and me with my "Hot" perfume :) We were all like kids ripping into our gifts and choosing stockings...it was a happy Christmas Eve together.
