Christmas Evening

One of her favorite presents.

Time for bed, Christmas is over for 2011. It was a wonderful Christmas.

Lauren and I went over to Don and Janine's home for dinner and to open a few more gifts. The evening started with a fun gift exchange. The rules for this gift exchange was that you had to make the item. Lauren (with my help) made a beautiful wreath. I made a fun Christmas decoration. Lauren loved the wreath so much we exchanged it so I would get it back. Lauren got a great sock monkey that her Aunt Janine made. It was fun to see what everyone came up with and how creative we could be.

We then had a short devotional and then enjoyed a great dinner and opened a last of the gifts. Lauren was so excited to get a karaoke machine and a Fur Real Dog.

Lauren got me a wonderful charm for my bracelet. She picked it out and I just love it.

It was a wonderful 2011 Christmas.
