Christmas Eve will be spend with our Lemon's Family in Lockwood and Christmas Day evening will be with Rachel's parents.

Unexpected Gifts
Here is the link to Hilary and Kevin's blog. Hil did a great job capturing the boys and their unexpected gift they received today. We also received another unexpected gift from Matthew's best friend Trever and his wife, Sarah. The Logan's did not have to do that! They are under our tree for us to open as part of our Christmas Morning experience so you will have to wait and see what that is at a later date...maybe December 26th!

Casting Crowns Christmas Concert 2008
On Tuesday, December 2nd we got to enjoy the awesome Christmas Concert by Casting Crowns, Natalie Grant, Avalon, Denver and The Mile High Orchestra, Michael English and PurNRG...It was AWESOME! My parents had given us the tickets as a gift. It was great way to begin the Holiday Season. Thanks Grammy and Pops!
We got to share the evening with Hilary and Kevin too. We rarely get to just do things as the four of us anymore so it was an extra special treat.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
The rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Fill out the questions below
3. Tag 5-7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag. Have FUN!!
1.Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? I love Peppermint Hot Chocolate! However, Christmas Eve would not be complete without Freddy and his Egg Nog.
2.Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? WRAPS THEM!!!Unless they are completely impossible to wrap.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I have white on my main tree.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? I do not have any but, after Phillip's sermon last Sunday...I will get some!
5. When do you put your decorations up? Still working on that...must move a 1969 Ford Falcon out of the way to get to the attic.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? SO many to count...however probably Grandma Clardy's Clam Chowder.
7. Favorite holiday memory as a child: I have so many...talking to Santa on the CB Radio, asking for my teeth for Christmas and getting them, getting our cats, Cabbage Patch Kids...yep, true child of the 80's.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? The truth about Santa is he is alive and well...I believe!
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? Yes, our Christmas PJs.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? Lots of ornaments and white lights. I hope to one day have a tree in every room. If that were to happen, I'd have a peacock tree...with blue and gree lights.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? It is pretty but a huge headache.
12. Can you ice skate? NO WAY!
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? This was actually a gift I give or at least organized and executed. The McCarty Christmas of 1995 was by far the best. Getting Barb out of the house, Decorating, Putting up Lights, etc. it was by far the best Christmas gift I have ever given. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
14. What is the most important thing about the Holidays for you? F-A-M-I-L-Y!
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Oh geez...Cookies: sugar, ones topped with kisses, mom's bars with holly icing on top, Joanne's Divinity...I know I forgot like 23 others.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? I have a few...Silent Night at Candle Light service at Lockwood UMC, Ruey and Freddy's on Christmas Eve, and last but definitely not least...STOCKINGS! I love them!
17. What tops your tree? A star...we bought it at Walgreen's in Davie, Florida when we lived there. We love it. It is very simple and it reminds us of our dear friends who became our dear family while we lived in Ft. Lauderdale. Love you Girls!
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? Giving!!! as someone near and dear to me said just last Thursday... I am a giver, probably the most giving person they know. I LOVE GIVING! gift, talents, friendship, food, whatever!
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? Go Tell It On The Mountain...girls got soul!
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? Not really a fan...they are okay.
21. What do you want for Christmas? I will get it. Watching Elliott love everything about this season...if you want to see what it is all about you can borrow him for a drive to look at lights.
22. Do you attend an annual Christmas Party? Yep...good times.
23. Do you dress up on Christmas or wear PJs? On Christmas Day, it is pretty relaxed.
