Well Christmas has now come and gone and I think all in all it turned out really nice. Charlotte was so much fun. We didn't have a lot of money to buy her stuff but between everyone she got a lot of gifts and she is still pretty small so even one new toy is a big deal to her. We got her a little sesame street laptop computer for babies. She is always pushing the buttons on our computer so she really liked all the buttons. She also got some bath toys, and a few different learning toys. The one thing she got that she really likes is the V_smile Baby. She loves playing with the buttons on the TV and this allows her to play learning games on the TV. I am glad I got it. At first I thought it was kind of a dumb idea, but Jim said she would like it and we could sit and teach her shapes, colors, and words. He was right, she really likes it. Then she made a huge haul from her Grandma. Jim's mom got her a ton of stuff. She bought this little rain forest play center. It is really neat and Charlotte really likes it. She also bought her these dolls collector dolls, clothes, books, and she made her a little Christmas picture frame. She is really talented when it comes to making stuff by hand. Jim always complains about her making us stuff but I like it and the stuff she makes it really cute.Grandpa Dave and Grandma Monya gave Charlotte a 50 dollar savings bond and a cute Christmas ornament. I seriously don't know what we did to deserve those two people. Charlotte loves them so much. Charlotte also got a really cute pink rocking horse from my brother Pete. It is just her size. I thought it was really nice that he did that. I wish I could have done something for him and his his wife. I felt the same way about my two nieces. This was the first year I couldn't do anything for them. I felt so bad. I always tried to make sure they had a good Christmas, but this year we just couldn't do it and it killed me. I know they understand but it still makes me feel bad. I had both of them out here for the day and it was nice. The got Charlotte a little Tigger rug and a cute little handmade blanket. It was really a nice Christmas. I made a huge Christmas dinner. We had Chicken, Ham, and I made my first leg of lamb. It wasn't as good as Kerie's but it did turn out nice. I really wish we had been in London for Christmas, but things just didn't work out. I am determined to get there this year. Jim knows how bad I want to take Charlotte there, so we are looking at maybe Easter or during the summer holiday. I really wish we didn't live so far apart, or at the very least that it didn't cost a small fortune to fly there. I miss all of them so much.
Well I think that should cover it. I am glad the holidays are done, but I am happy with the way things turned out. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I posted a Video of Charlotte on Christmas Morning, Take a look, it is below this post.
