Merry Christmas from the Meeks. Our Christmas was soooo much fun this year. As a parent the anticipation for your children"s reaction almost matches the anticipation they feel waiting for Santa Claus. This year, neither parents nor children were disappointed.
"Oh, my Pillow Pet, I love him." Leah also loved her Yot and all of her other gifts. A special hit was her dollhouse ( it used to be my dollhouse made by my dad for my sister and I one Christmas long, long ago). Leah loves to play with her new dolls and furniture in her dollhouse and loves to have mom and dad play along. It is hilarious to hear her narrate her perspective on life in the Meek home.
Tal was nearly spastic about his Lego jail. He couldn't wait to get it out of the package and start building. Uncle Eric, dad and Tal spent most of Christmas morning constructing the new Lego jail and he has been showing it off ever since. Other favorite gifts were Lego Harry Potter Wii, Six Flags for the Wii, and his Ninja swords. You should see his moves.
Abi received a hot pink iPod nano for Christmas. She and the iPod are nearly inseparable now; I think we created a monster. She relished downloading Taylor Swift and Colbie Calliat songs this morning. Her other favorite was the terrarium for hermit crabs. Abi could barely wait until Monday when she could go to the pet store to buy her own hermit crab.
Every Christmas I wheedle my family into taking our annual Christmas picture. I just like to look back and see how we grow and change year to year.
My cuties all dressed up in their new Sunday clothes. Nana and Papa Fife always spoil them with the cutest or handsomest clothes for Christmas. ( Tal is going through this crazy face phase.) Then after Christmas dinner the grandkids clamor to play "Grandma Bingo" where they get to win really cool and fun toys. I'm not sure who loves it more, the kids or grandma.
Abi had a cousin sleep-over and they all decided to create Cindy-Lou Who hair. If they ever need a stand-in for Cindy Lou in "The Grinch" I think we have it covered.
Abi was thrilled to finally get her hermit crab "Violet." Tal has one as well but the novelty wore off quickly and it's a good thing that Abi is willing to take care of them. She had been researching them since this summer. She even wrote her summer report about hermit crabs. I think she will be a good little pet owner.
