Christmas Celebrations Begin
Sunday we had Eric's family over for Christmas. Meagan flew in from Portland on Thursday. Miranda and Rob came over Saturday night from Omaha. Lisa and her two girls drove over from Omaha on Sunday and Stephanie and her kids came up from Knoxville. Meagan requested lasagna. It worked out well. I made it Saturday night and Eric threw it in the oven while I was at church. I also made a salad, fruit salad and threw some bread in the oven. I stopped at Village Inn for a French Silk and put a Mrs. Smith apple pie in the oven. It worked out great. It was a very stress free Christmas gathering.
The boys were super excited, because they got to see their aunts and got presents. Miranda and Rob bought the boys a joint present. They got a motorized Speed Racer race track. They love it. All their Hot Wheels Speed Racer cars go on it. It take 4 D batteries, I see us going through a lot of them!
Meagan decided to take the boys shopping for their Christmas presents. On Friday Meagan took Anthony to Toys R Us. He picked out a Batman and Superman, a Superman Monster Truck, which is really big and a robot arm that can pick stuff up. He also picked out two outfits at Gordman's. Meagan also took him to see Santa, which is his first time. Santa had heard Meagan talking to him, so when it was his turn Santa said, "Hello Tony, come on up!" He couldn't believe Santa knew his name. She also took him to Chuck E. Cheese. He had a great day with his aunt.
Chase had his day with Aunt Meagan on Saturday. They went to Toys R Us, where he picked out a black and blue basketball and a Pixo's maker. You can design art. The are little plastic balls and then you spray water on them and turn a fan on and they are suppose to stick. It takes practice. The first piece Chase made, we didn't put enough water on them. After shopping Meagan and Chase headed to Sleepy Hallow for some sledding. Chase had a great time. The best part was getting pulled up the hill on the rope tow.
Meagan leaves to go back home tomorrow. She should be flying out right before the snow starts really flying. It has been great having Meagan here. Anthony saw her when we went out to Oregon for her wedding in June of 2007 and now. So she is planning on coming back to visit every couple of months, as long as their business continues to prosper. She doesn't want her nephews growing up and not knowing her.
