Well, Christmas festivities are now in full swing!! My favorite time of year! But we don't want the presents to overshadow His presence. He is the true reason for the season. We began early this morning heading to Coco & Fletch's house. Fletch had us fresh Dunkin Donuts (a tradition Fletch started with Stryker). After grabbing some doughnuts, it was present time. Fletch opened his candy bag stuffed with a note indicating his gift of an Ole Miss car tag would be arriving soon. Coco opened her goodie bag of candy stuffed with LakeLynn's fingerprint charm (matches the one we did of Stryker's left index finger at 3 months) & a check reimbursing her for LakeLynn's furniture. Fletch actually asked to hold Lake (first time) while the rest of us opened gifts. Logan was overwhelmed with dress shirts, shorts, socks, & Trionz wrist band from Coco & Fletch. Stryker was given his big gifts: punching bag from Coco & John Deere tractor with mini front loader & mini backhoe from Fletch. He was ready to box with Fletch (ex boxer), then rode the power tractor all through the house & down the street. Coco gave him a new sports lamp (bat as the base, whistle as the light switch) & sports painting for his bedroom along with a car track for the bathtub, sports nap sack, jumping toy, & 3 in 1 sports goal. Fletch gave LakeLynn a bouncy play seat that she laughed & bounced in for awhile! Coco gave LakeLynn a silver bracelet, shoes, bunches of clothes, pacy set, elephant ball toy, aquarium toy, octopus musical toy, & a kicking car seat toy. Coco & Fletch showered me with wonderful gifts including clothes, perfume, purse, Maurice's gift card, & a Nike fuel band. After cleaning, Coco & I cooked breakfast (our traditional cinnamon coffee cake, scrambled eggs, sausage, & bacon). Thank you such a wonderful Christmas Eve morning!
