Christmas 2009 didn't turn out the way we planned. We prefer to be at home on Christmas morning, but decided to split the holidays between Grandma Blalock and Papa and Grandma Sandy's houses. The first bad moment was on Christmas Eve when we were about half way there and Elizabeth realized that she had forgotten her brand new camera at home. She got the camera she had been waiting for years to buy for her birthday in November. Anyone who knows her well, will understand how upset she was at the prospect of no Christmas pictures. Not a good way to begin the holiday. We got past that hurdle and were truly enjoying our time with our family. Then on Christmas morning as we were opening our presents at Grandma's, we realized that we did not have all of our presents. We had left an entire box of presents in the family room. Unfortunately for Ammon, that box contained most of his presents. So he received a shirt and couple of other non-fun presents, but nothing he could play with. Needless to say, it wasn't his favorite Christmas ever. We came back a day early so that Ammon could have his Christmas and Elizabeth was able to take a few pictures of everone opening the few remaining gifts.....I think we will have a hard time talking the kids into being away on Christmas morning again:)
