Christmas Day 2008

In my little mind, I never thought Christmas could be so much fun and exciting until this year. As the day approached Buddy and I started getting more and more anxious. (Notice I said Buddy and I, not Tillie Ann.) We were planning the way to arrange things and when to put things together so she wouldn't find out. (Like she would really know what was going on.) Finally the big night was here and after spending the day putting toys together, baking cookies, and writing notes to Santa, Tillie Ann finally went to bed. Buddy and I put the yummy cookies out, the milk, and the note to Santa, and went to bed. About 6:00 a.m. Buddy rolls over and says "you want to open our gifts from Santa?" I sweetly said. "NO!!!, We will wait on Tillie." The clock ticked on and on and on. Finally, Buddy had taken all he could stand and said lets go wake her up. (Any normal day she would have been up at 5:00.) We woke her up and the fun began. Take a look: Tillie Ann checking out her loot!! Playing in the best toy ever :) After we completed Santa Tillie had way too much excitement and this is what happened: Playing is a hard job. On Tuesday night we had Christmas with BB and Pop I. This was so much fun. Jackson AKA "That boy" was there and wanted to play with all of Tillie's toys even though most of the ones she had he got as well. Tillie loves her green butterfly and her Aunt Adrian and Uncle Clint. This was the first time Clint held Tillie. He was afraid she would break.
