Christmas with the Eldridge's

 watching a movie

 all 3 sleeping

We had Christmas this year early, so on Wed. the 22nd Santa came to our house. He brought Haley a bike, fishing pole, a baby, Potato Heads, princesses, pots&pans, play food, & a few more items. She loved the bike and wanted to ride it right in the den. After she got dressed for the day she went outside and started to ride the bike. Daddy helped her go straight while pushing. She loves her bike.

On Thursday the 23rd we took a rode trip to see Grandma Imogene in WoodRiver, IL. This was Haley and the boys first time to travel this far and they did great. They watched movies and listened to Cd's while traveling. We did not stop until Grenada, MS and then we stopped in West Memphis, TN and then we were at Grandma's house.  He had Bill&Terry's families at Grandma's house because we were all staying at someones house for the days we were in IL. Greg,Haley,&I stayed with cousin Bruce and his family.

On Friday the 24th, Haley got to play in snow. It started to snow that morning in IL. We went to Grandma's house for a little while and then we had a dinner with all the Eldridge's. After dinner all the great-grand kids got to open gifts and we had a snowball fight outside in the snow.

On Saturday the 25th, we all went to Grandma's house for a very Saint Christmas. We had a great time opening presents and all the kids got Leapsters and love playing there games. They all played outside after presents and loved the snow. We all went to Uncle Bill's house for lunch. In his basement he had a ping pong table, air hokey table, & a dart board so we got to play all afternoon. We got back to Grandma's house around 6pm and just watched football for a little while.

On Sunday the 26th, we went to Grandma's church and then out to lunch at McDonald's with 2 of Allan's brothers & a few cousins. We left IL around 2pm. The kids started to play there Leapsters and watch movies. We stopped for the night in Eads, TN with the Jamerson Family. The kids loved the playroom and wanted to play all night. Haley slept in Piper's room and they were too funny talking to each other before they went to bed.

On Monday the 27th, we left the Jamerson's around 8:30am and stopped in Batesville, MS for gas & then Madison, MS for lunch. Then we were in the van until Slidell, LA. The kids did great. We got home around 7pm that night and Haley wanted to sleep in Piper's bed again. I told her she got to sleep in her bed tonight. 
On Tuesday the 28th,  Haley slept all night until 6am and then she went back to sleep until 9:15 am. She went to the Doctor today because she had been complaining about her ear so she has a cold and one ear infection. We had a great time in IL with all the Eldridge's this year for Christmas but it is great to be home.
