Christmas Eve day we went over to the Lemon's house and met up with the rest of the family. It's not very often that we are all together so of course we had to get a picture of all of us! That night we did the progressive dinner and started out at Cody and Kat Lewis' house (Shawn's aunt and uncle) for appetizers, Shawn's parents for the main dish and then Todd and Val Lewis' (Shawn's other aunt and uncle) for program and dessert. The program was great and consisted of Kat singing Oh Holy Night, she has an AMAZING voice, saying what we were grateful for from 2008 and drawing names and saying nice things! I LOVE getting everyone together for Christmas and it was really nice to have my parents there as well! Then we came back home and got our Christmas presents and Hurley all packed up and headed to my parents to spend the night. Billy also tagged along and we all stayed up and watched Christmas Vacation. I have to say that in true Brittany form I fell asleep halfway into the movie and I really don't know why it was such a big deal that I hadn't seen it before?!?! Christmas morning was AWESOME and I have to say that we finally pulled one over on my dad. He really wanted a Jack Lalanne Juicer and so we went to Walmart and bought one of those old fashioned juicers and wrapped it up and let him believe that it was the juicer that we bought him. My dad is so nice that he actually said, "Oh this is just what I wanted." What a great dad!! So we let him go on believing that was it and while he was out of the room we pulled out the real juicer, put it on the counter and then wait and see how long it would take him to notice it. Well my mom couldn't hold the secret went right up to him, did some eye thing and he saw it. Let's just say that i'm pretty sure he will be putting some good use to it. Yesterday alone he used it like 3 times. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and then heading over to Brent and Theresa's house (Shawn's other aunt and uncle) and having Christmas dinner with the family. It was a great Christmas and I'm always so sad when it's all over...especially when I don't have any pictures!! But I do have to say that both sides are awesome and even got Hurley a little something! I am so grateful for my family and I can't believe that the year is almost over! This year has been filled with some amazing memories and I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us! Shawn and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a great New Year!
