Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas Day!  Last night we drove to Nashville to spend the holiday with Auntie Chrissy and Uncle Jeff, and to surprise Grandma Barb.  She was shocked when the doorbell rang - she thought it was UPS, but Evan wandered in the door.  What a great Christmas surprise.  Evan was a rockstar in the car.  Charlottesville to Nashville is 9 hours, and he didn't complain the whole way.  He took little naps, watched some movies, sang songs, and counted the cows as we passed the fields.  Mommy and daddy were going a little stir crazy in the car, but Evan loved it - he even asked the next day to go back in the car!

We had a great time touring Chrissy & Jeff's neighborhood and new home.  They had odd weather while we were there, and it snowed most of the time.  Evan and the dogs though that was great, though the rest of Nashville wasn't so pleased.  We woke up to a snowy Christmas morning, and Evan was intrigued by the huge tree with boxes underneath.  He waited patiently in his Christmas stripey jammies until everyone was ready, then began passing out gifts... and helping everyone open them!  I think he ripped at least part of every gift that was there!



Santa and the family were great to Evan - he went home loaded with toys!  Santa brought a Wisconsin Badger football uniform and helmet, and Evan hasn't taken it off yet.  He got some new clothes, slippers, cars, and a flashlight, among other things.  This is one happy little Christmas elf!
