Twas the night before Christmas

After I got off of work at 3pm I picked up Elli from my parents and drove home very quickly! I picked Ray up and we were off to Duvall. Ray and Elli went over to his Grandpa's house in Duvall. I didn't go because I was sick and didn't want to be around Grandpa Frank, a cold would be a very serious problem for him. Shawna hadn't been feeling too great either so she came over to his mom's a little later and we got dinner started while watching 'A Christmas Story'. We had Stouffer's lasagna, salad and garlic bread. It was so good! After dinner we all sat down to open presents! Elli of course was very spoiled and got soooo many clothes! She also got a great new floor mat with hanging things from Grandma (see future posts for photos). Mom got both of us and Randy and Shawna TVs. It will be wonderful to have a new flat screen for our bedroom!! Shawna of course loved the notebook, notepad and framed photo of Elli! She is the one person I know that I can always get a photo gift for and she adores it! We also made an Elli calendar for Rhonda and she loved that as well! Randy and Shawna got Ray and I a $50 gift card to the zoo! That will be so wonderful to use this summer to take Elli to see all the animals!! It was a wonderful evening with family and great gifts!
