Each year we have a special individual Christmas with Doug's grandma and grandmpa McKnight at their house. We aren't able to go to be at their Christmas Eve party, so we have our own. Doug & I went to Famous Daves in Bellevue and picked up food and brought it back to Plattsmouth for all of us to eat. Then, we opened presents and talked. Samantha got 2 dolls (twins - she named them Maggie & Betsy because she has friends that are twins), a jewelry box, and some books and activity books! Alden got Handy Manny's toolbox and it was a big hit with both the kids. They sang and danced to the music the rest of the night. She even told us all the tools' names. I had no idea she new the names of all the tools! (She may watch a little too much Disney Channel!) I got 2 pairs of pink lounge pants and a cross-stitch wall hanging of Santa Clause that Lila made. Doug got a dress shirt and socks and a solid silver statue of a little boy playing a trumpet (which was really neat). They also collected all of the 50 quarters from the 50 states that have come out over the last 10 years, so they gave a set to each grandchild! We have them a photo calendar. It was good to have some one-on-one time with just time! They have lots of space for the kids to play.
