merry merry christmas

merry christmas my friends and family. what a beautiful time of year. nothing like God's biggest blessing in our lives to remind us of the little things too.

the williams family has a very fun, warm, and adventurous christmas day.
the kids got many gifts to enjoy...camilles favorites were her vera bradley mini backpack, a cd/radio alarm clock, a twilight poster& tshirt...along with some books, clothes and craft supplies. Isabelle got a pink nintendo ds (so she could stop stealing logan's each night), a few barbies, some books, her own xbox 360 controller, a pet frog--two actually she named them bubbles&squirt. she also got some clothes and crafty things. Logan got some games for his nintendo, a skate ramp, some action heroes, his first chargers jersey, some books, clothes, and two pet frogs which i dont think he has decided on permanent names yet. ALL three kids also got brand new bikes. amazing mountain bikes that will last them through high school...well the girls' will, logan will need a new one when he is taller. after the excitement settled, we took the kids to the school to ride their bikes, and before alex could finish giving them instruction on riding bikes with gears, hand brakes etc...

our miss izzybusy takes off...does a loop around and ends up speeding down a hill, throws her front brake on, which of course flips the back of the bike up, throwing her feet over head forward off the bike onto the ground...camille runs over helps her...and as we are running to get to her...we discover that she has indeed ate shit (sorry) and broken her little left arm.

so the williams family gets to spend christmas day in the local Emergency Room, getting our baby girl a temp cast put on her arm. today we go to the dr. for a real set up. so the cast means no more basketball--her team is gonna be disappointed cause she was a star at it. no more brand new bike to ride, and she can barely hold her new nintendo. a lesson in listening to daddy i guess.

we are always full of stories, us williams'. something is always happening to us. i figure it just adds to the character of our family. we keep things up and moving...exciting...esp. when it concerns isabelle.

oh yeah. terry and her husband tom are spending the holiday with us...for a few more days. and i got a HUGE surprise from alex. if you know him well, you'll know he never gives me gifts. just never. i can count on one had and have leftover fingers the number of anniversary, birthday, or christmas gifts he has given me. BUT we sweet man outdid himself and made up for it all. he got me my very own laptop. and its a beautiful deep blue. i love it, i was so happy and surprised, i just cried and cried. that stinker. love him.

well gotta run to the DRs for izzys cast now. everyone else in enjoying a visit to DC today...but we'll get her fixed up and on her way to healing.

chat soon.
again.
merry christmas.
xoxo
