Great times

Hey! Today has been very good. After I finished my blog stuff. Charlie arrived and we started talking. We had a great time being together. After a while we decided it was time open presents, since she won't be with us for Christmas. We opened them, and Mom took some pictures on my camera, but I'm on Dad's laptop so I don't have them. I will try to do that as soon as possible.Any ways I got a CUTE pair of Christmas pajamas, which i am going to take to Colorado. I also received a girls devotional book, which looks really good. Alex got the Prince Caspian movie from the Conicals of Narnia, and a boys devotional. Mom got a cute pair of Christmas PJ's and a devotional. Dad got a sign that says,A fisherman lives here with the best catch of his life. He also got a baseball lovers devotional and the 4Th Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. So we are watching it right now. All afternoon we sat and had good family time. Then youth time came around. So we went to church, and I had layed a gift out for the gift exchange that we were having tonight, and I left it there on accident. So Mom was kind enough to run home and get it for Me. At the gift exchange, the catch was that it had to be under the price limit of $2.00. You also were supposed to disguise it with your wrapping. So we all put our gifts in the middle of the circle, and we each drew numbers form a bucket, and that was the order that we went in. Person number one was the luckiest, because they not only got to go first but they could trade with anyone even after an item was frozen. Frozen was when someone had had the same package 3 times it was theirs. But each person was given the opportunity to pick one from the middle r take someone elses. It was very fun, and I got a really good gift. I wound up having a cute little tootsie roll purse, which had a notebook and mini scrapbook inside. So after youth we went upstairs for church which was good, and then stayed for the business meeting afterwards. When that was all over we ran home to get some Carmel apples, and headed over to the Pyle's. They are our next door neighbors, and everyone was getting together for a Christmas type PARTY!I think it was us,Pyle's,Ewing's,Burton's,Eddington's,Spurgeons,and Rollers. We had a great time, all of the girls sat and talked, and the younger girls just floated back and forth between everything. There was lots of great food and time to just relax. I'm hoping that we can do that again sometime. Finally we got away and are at home for good. I am just filling you in on everything as it is fresh on my mind. I am ready for my head to hit the pillow. I'm so sleepy. Well I should be going. I can't wait for Christmas, Bye.

PS. Here are some pictures from this last year. Here is Grandma Rie and the tiny picture is of Rollo,but I don't think you can see it. He was just a little squirt.
