Eads Family Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas. I have to say Santa exploded in our living room. Lily was an angel with all the activities and events we had over the long week in G-town. As usual she ate the paper! haha! As usual Mommy took many embarrassing pictures of her with taped on bows. What can I say? Grow some hair kid!

This will mainly be a picture post with some commentary throughout. Enjoy!

Digital Picture Frame from Michael. Note this was not on the "list" but a definiate keeper!

What do you mean? This isn't the gift! But I was so excited about the paper?!

Absolutely horrible pic of us. But very holiday appropriate. Unfortunatly no alcohol was consumed in the making of this picture.

Beautiful

I will say Christmas changed dramatically this year. It was not about me. I did not feel the usual after Christmas slump that we all feel but never admit. It was awesome. Seeing Lily, being with my family. A Beautiful day overall. We are very lucky to have such loving family and friends and to be so lucky to get so many wonderful things this Christmas. Especially when you think of all the others that have nothing. So we did decide on one family tradition. We are donating one new toy every year to people less forunate than us. Lily will eventually pick it out but this year I picked it out. This tradition will hopefully remind us of how lucky we are every year. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. We are looking forward to a whole new year of beautiful memories.

A perfect picture to show a perfect day
