Christmas Eve 2009

We spent our Christmas Eve here at home in North Carolina.  It was quiet and nice.  The kids got a few things and ENJOYED each and every one of them. 

Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

                    Our own lil Santa...haha.

Also our own lil Mrs. Clause, who passed out the Christmas gifts.

Neat, a puzzle with a picture of the kids on it.

Cool, we can be the Patton Family Band now...haha                                                                                                                                                             

The new luggage will come in handy, since we travel so much.

By the look on his face, tells me that he loves that gift...  :)  That makes me so happy for him.

No, that is not my Christmas gift.  That is Miss. Dixie, one of my parents little Yorkies. 

                   

Renee starting up the band...haha.

Casey is the best singer so far, she got 99%.  Way to go Casey!  Maybe she can support us oneday, when she is a professional singer. 

Why does the boy need any gifts or toys???  He loves the boxes they come in just as much.  :)

When he got out of the box, he thought he would give Band Hero a try.  It is hard, but maybe we can all learn to use it. 

VERY Happy Patton Kids, with their gifts.  Just a few, but that's enough.  They know that is not what CHRISTmas is all about anyways. 

Christmas at school!

Casey's class had a Christmas party and exchanged gifts.  It was nice!  Here are a few pictures from the event. 

Mrs. Doleski's 5th Grade classroom tree,she let the kid decorate it. 

Casey opening a gift from a classmate. 

Mrs. Doleski opening her gifts.  We got her a pack of printer paper, I know she needed it.  The school only provides a little bit, so I gave it out to 9 teachers. 

Christmas Cards

I just to let yall know that we really love getting Christmas cards in the mail. I had to take them down today, because Dad and Luke are working inside the house. We recieved 23 Christmas cards this year so far. Here, I will list the different states we get them from. Alaska x2 South Dakota Vermont New York Wyoming Georgia North Carolina x3 Oklahoma California Florida x2 Minnesota x2 Montana Ohio x2 Texas Michigan Maryland I love that we know people all over. Sometimes we recieve one from England too. If you didn't receive a card from us, that is because we ran out of them. I will try to send out another card before we move to give you our new mailing address. Renee

Merry Christmas From The Patton's

Christmas Morning

New Scooters-Cool! Lincoln Logs-Awesome!

Thank goodness Santa marked those gifts with a J and a C

Little Pet Shop for Casey

A puppy in the stocking - thank goodness it was a not a real one...haha

Oh yes, a movie for Luke

A punching bag and gloves for Bubba

*Remember our kids only get three things each from Santa under the tree and three stocking items each also. It may look like they got a lot, but most was from grandparents.

It's Party Time Again!

It's that time of year again for parties, more volunteering, baking, cooking, shopping, traveling, cleaning and so much more. Am I the only one doing all that?

These are pictures from the Command Christmas Party. We didn't win big this year, but no has forgotten that we won big time last year. *Remember we won the grand prize last year - a flat screen TV. The grand prize this year was a GPS. I am just glad that someone that didn't have one won it. Luke said he could have used another one, but not enough to buy another one.

Enjoy!!!
