Be merry.....

May your days be merry and bright..... here we go!!! We start with our traditional Christmas Eve at Mimi's house. It is a huge family bash. This year it included a jam session in the "Garage Mahal". We ate, we sang, we danced and we opened gifts. Good times!! Taylor loved her Moxy Girl and Leap Frog Tag Learning Books. Reed loved opening the gifts then throwing the wrapping paper at everyone... (it's a tradition) but he really loved the John Deer Tractor that makes noise that he can push around. We had a great time and enjoyed being with the family. Christmas morning we woke up with both babies in our bed. Taylor was so excited!! We quickly got out of bed, placed baby Jesus in the manger and all sang happy birthday (Davidson tradition). Almost all of Santa's gifts were wrapped (Quinn tradition). Taylor got an awesome doll house, it's as tall as she is. Reed got a huge Thomas track. We sure did enjoy watching their sweet little faces as they opened their gifts. The kids played for a while then we ate homemade monkey bread for breakfast (Davidson tradition). Jarrod and I shared our gifts after breakfast. Jarrod's big gift was an ipod. My big gift was a James Avery ring and a picture frame that is also a jewelry box..pretty cool! Christmas day we have lunch with my family. We gathered at the Willey's house again for our Christmas celebration. After lunch we spent two hours opening gifts. Poor Dad, this year it was youngest to oldest...he had to wait a long time. It was so nice taking our time and watching each person open their gifts. This Christmas I tried to savor those sweet expression on each face. I feel I really enjoyed all the traditions and special moments that make the holiday so grand. I hope you and your families enjoyed the magic and special moments of Christmas too.

May your days be merry and bright!
Love to you, The Quinn's
