Hager Christmas 2007

Last night we celebrated Christmas with Corys' family at his mom and dad's house. It was loud and chaotic, but fun with 8 adults and 6 kids under the age 6. We started with the traditional dinner, which because of the children's excitement didn't last too long. Then it was on to the kids opening their presents. They started with opening the gifts they gave each other - the cousins picked names and traded presents this year. Nicholas had Joshua's name and gave him a cool new Tonka truck with a boat and trailer. Joshua was very territorial with this new gift and kept shouting, "MINE!" every time someone got near it. He was content to drive it around for quite some time. We finally got him back in the room to open his presents from Grandpa and Grandma - a car hauler for his Hot Wheels cars, a memory game, some wooden blocks, a Corvette lamp and a special fence for his animals handmade by Grandpa! After the kids were finished opening their gifts the adults had their turn. The big surprise of the night when dad H. gave mom H. her wedding ring with a new replacement diamond in it - she lost her diamond this summer while camping. It was a great night of celebration! Today Joshua has been playing with all his new toys and enjoying them thoroughly!
