Blinking_Lights_Christmas_2006.avi

In the middle of our family Christmas morning, the tree at Gigi and Granddaddy's began to blink on and off...Sydney found the foot switch for the lights! Although both Sydney and Abigail had plenty of newly opened toys to play with at the time, they were more excited by the blinking lights and the wrapping paper (as you can see in the video). </p><p>Although we had an in-town Christmas this year and did not have to fight the crowds on the interstates, Christmas day was a marathon! The girls needed their oh-so-precious naps in the afternoon, so we traveled from our house to Franklin, back to our house for naps, and out to Bellevue for more Christmas! 2 hours in the car, 40 miles, and three Christmases - whew. We were able to spend quality time with my immediate family on Christmas Eve night and had fun playing games. And, yes, we all received everything on our wish lists and more. We ushered in the new year with good friends and good food. Everyone in our family is finally healthy and well, and we are looking forward to the adventures of 2007. Happy New Year!
