Christmas

We had a great Christmas at my parents house in Searcy. Much food was eaten, many presents were given and we just had a great time being together. It's so nice to be within driving distance of family. We made the trip this time in 7 house, despite the fires here in Texas which made it a quite smokey drive the last 2 hours or so. It would be nice to have all of our family back in the south where we could go and visit different relatives for the holidays, but until that happens, we will be thankful for telephones, the internet and plane tickets!
The girls got everything on their lists and more. Grace got this doll called the "Amazing Amanda" doll. It's kinda like the doll from that movie "Chucky." It talks, tells time and even goes to the bathroom with very dramatic sounds! So far, Grace hasn't really been playing with it here at home, so I think it is one of those dolls that she could have done with out, because everytime it turns on, I hear her yell, "GO TO SLEEP!"
Susannah loves all of their new stuff and hasn't really picked a favorite. She really likes her Dora doll that dances, but she has just really been playing with her old toys. I guess she missed them while we were gone.
Grace cut my dad's hair while we were there so I'm going to post some pictures and you can see how silly it is to let a 4 year old let you cut your hair. She kept trying to take the clippers to his goatee....that would have been a sight!!
We made the trip to Wal-Mart yesterday to restock the old fridge and today we are off to the paint store to get yet another color for the bathroom. The last color looked pink when we put it on the walls next to the brown tile!!
Off to work!!
