We went to cut down our own Christmas tree on Sunday, December 7th. We followed Stefanie and Christian out there and had a good time. After walking around for about half hour we realized that there wasn't much to choose from. Then we found a spot with 3 beautiful trees. Stef & Christian chose one and we cut down one of the others, well it ended up being an 11 1/2 foot Christmas tree! Michael cut it down and he almost passed out pulling it out to the street. We took a picture with Santa, rode the train and then headed home.
We drove into New Orleans on Tuesday night, 12/23... we stayed by Aggie's house since we were having Christmas there this year. Tammy and Fauddy couldn't make it in for Christmas because of work. Me and Agg were getting the house together on Christmas Eve... Angel called and said that Ms. Pat (Joe's mom) was in the hospital and they wouldn't be able to make it for the Christmas Eve celebration. They had to be with Ms. Pat...so we all understood. But it didn't feel like Christmas at all. Matt, Britney, Destiny and Brittanie came by Agg's and opened gifts. It was a sad feeling but we made the best of it. Me, Michael and Phoe would be heading to his parents on Christmas Day so we were going to have to miss Christmas dinner. Angel still wasn't sure if she'd be able to make dinner... so we decided to move Christmas dinner to that Saturday, 12/27. We went to Michael's parents' house in Picayune Christmas morning. CP and Kelli came and we all ate and opened gifts. Ms. Tess made some great food (it was all about us and our yummy casseroles for Christmas since Thanksgiving was all about the boys and seafood!)... hehe! Phoebe got the Barbie Jammin Jeep from MawMaw and PawPaw, so now she has her own motorbike as she calls it, lol. They have a huge backyard so she was able to drive all around and get used to it. MawMaw and PawPaw would be delivering it to our house after Christmas. We hung out around there for a while then headed over to Aunt Linda's to see everyone. Phoebe played out back on the playhouse almost the entire time, she had fun with Corey and Makayla... and they are so good with her. We drove back to Metairie Saturday to sleep by Angel's since Michael had to fly out Sunday morning at 8am. He had to go back to work Monday and I was off all week and didn't want to rush out. On Sunday, me, Angel, Aggie and Phoe went to visit Grandma in Slidell. She was so surprised to see us but Phoebe needed a nap and wasn't in a very cheerful mood :( But Grandma still thought she was the sweetest thing. It was nice to see her. We headed back to Angel's. We hung out at the house watching movies with the kids, it was nice, some quality family time :) Me and Phoe headed home Monday.
