Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 has come and gone! It seems every year I spend many hours making sure everything goes perfect for Christmas and then it comes and goes oh so quickly. This was the first Christmas that Taylor and Carson have asked for things and have been so excited about Christmas. We left early Saturday morning bound for Kentucky. We had Christmas at my parents house on Saturday, then stayed in Campbellsville for the entire week to have Christmas with Adam's parents and family on Wednesday. Of course we drove back to Knoxville, so that Santa would find us back home on Christmas morning. Then we finished the week with Christmas at my Grandparents on Thursday evening. It was eventful but exciting!

Happy 30th Birthday, Adam!

We were talking the other day how this is our 14th Christmas together. Time sure does fly. Adam and I started dating back when we were 16. Many years later, a few college degrees, a couple of different cars, a couple of kids, a couple of houses, a few different jobs, a lot less hair, a lot more stress...same people just getting older! Happy Birthday, Adam....you are a soul mate and a best friend. Thanks for all the memories that we share and the many more to come.

Stomach Bug

So, Adam and I both woke up to the Stomach Bug on Saturday morning. It was not a pretty picture around the Jessie Household pretty much all day on Saturday. Taylor and Carson felt completely fine and pretty much had rule of the reign...whatever they wanted to do, they did. Adam and I hung out in the bed or in the bathroom for the entire day. Carson made his and Taylor's lunch and dinner and whatever they wanted for snack...not exactly sure what they had but knew they had eaten something. Carson did bring me up a Sprite and cup later in the evening. Pretty scary when 4 yr olds are taking of you! We woke up today feeling back to normal, but spent many hours this morning cleaning up spills, scattered toys, etc.

Cookies and Milk with Santa

We all went and waited in snowy weather to see Santa at the Knoxville Zoo on Saturday morning. Santa didn't arrive at the zoo until 11 am, but we were there at 10:40 very eager. It took us 45 minutes in line to finally get up to the tent where Santa sat. We all were FREEZING! Taylor and Carson never once wanted to leave though (only ME!) Adam kept saying how "cool" it was that it was snowing and we were going to see Santa. "Cool" wasn't exactly my thoughts......but nevertheless T and C loved it. Taylor, Carson and Adam all wrote Santa letters this year and have mailed them. Taylor asked for a lovely princess television while Carson asked for a blue microwave. Adam's list (too long to mention) included a riding lawn mower that turned in to a Spiderman motercycle (Carson added the last part). Should be an interesting Christmas!!!!!! We also saw Rudulph (playing Checkers) and T and C dashed to give him a huge reindeer hug. We did some crafts and played some other games, but I was never so excited to get back to the van and start the heat!!!!!!! T and C both cried when their hands burned going from cold to warm! Not sure if they had ever been that cold for that long.
