Hamelin Christmas 2008

Our family was blessed once again with a wonderful Christmas this year! I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family to spend the holidays with! (I just wished they lived a little closer!) We headed to Katy on Monday evening and spent Tuesday visiting two friends of mine from high school and their families. Wednesday, we worked on a puzzle while we waited for Laura and Leslie to arrive. We all went to church Wednesday night, and the kids each opened their traditional Christmas Eve present...a new pair of Christmas jammies! Thursday morning, we saw what Santa brought (Baby Alive, a "boy Barbie", and Barbie and the Diamond Castle dvd for Lauren and a huge Indiana Jones Lego set and an alien maker- "Martian Matter" toy for Jared) . We opened the rest of our presents at Mimi and Pa's, then went to Grandma and Grandpa Jones' house for Christmas lunch and the gift exchange (see next post). Friday, we did a little after Christmas shopping.








As one of his gifts from my parents, Steve got tickets to see the Houston Aeros hockey game on Friday night. After dinner, Steve, Jared, my dad, and I headed to the game at the Toyota Center around 6:30 p.m. My Mom, Leslie, and Lauren were at home while Laura was at a friend's house. Evidently, shortly after we left, Leslie's pit bull, Izzy, and Bosque got into a scuffle. My mom and Leslie were bitten and scratched up trying to break it up, as, of course, was Bosque. So, we made a little trip to the emergency vet clinic when we got back to Waco Saturday afternoon. She has to take some antibiotics and keep a bandage on for a week, but I think she will be ok. My mom and sister also had to take some strong antibiotics, and probably should have gone to the emergency room when it first happened. I don't think Izzy is invited back anytime soon =(
