Thursday we emptied suitcases and did laundry, laundry, more laundry and re-packed. We meaning, I. On Friday after lunch we hit the road and headed south to Greenville. It is not every year that we get a white Christmas in the north AND the south, but this year we did! It started snowing on our way there and continued through the rest of the day. The girls played while they waited for their Metzger cousins to arrive. They had an extra long trip in the snow. So after they ate and the kids were clearly not tired, they opened their gifts starting around 10pm.
Nonny Martha sewed pillow cases for all the kids
they got a new pillow and 3 cases
Morgan got 2 great sets of books with characters
SkippyjonJones and Pete the Cat
Shelby with thread for her sewing machine
There was only 1 thing Shelby wanted more than that helicopter she got from Ian or the ipod touch. Papa Russell and Nonny Martha made her Christmas when they got her the stuffed dinosaur she's been wanting.
those are real tears of joy
Nonny even made a great guess and ordered her favorite Triceratops
It turned into a dinosaur Christmas for our dino lover. Uncle Al, Aunt Jill and cousins gave her this T-Rex T-shirt and a headband that says "I Dig Dinos" in her favorite color green.
She got a drawing dinosaur book, a dinosaur DVD and some mini dinosaur figures. Her cousin Drew cleaned out his closet and passed on a stuffed stegosaurus.
From Uncle Al, Aunt Jill and cousins, Morgan got these animal print PJ's for her doll. It is the same pattern as her backpack, lunch box and entire outfit she has.
She also got a headband in her favorite hot pink that says "I "heart" BOOKS"
Drew didn't want to leave her out so she got this cute little puppy
Good thing we didn't have anywhere to be so we could sleep in and get ready for our next Christmas with the extended Metzger family and the Greenwoods & Whites.
