We usually exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, but this year Lindsey and Adrian weren't coming into town until Christmas day so we left gifts for Boxing day. On Christmas Eve we tried to relax. I say tried because we aren't always the best at relaxing.

| Courtney hard at work. |
Jonathan and Courtney started a renovation on the upstairs bathroom. It was complete with a new paint job, light fixture, and mirror. The room looks great now! Mom and Dad really should replace the tub and toilet still, but those aren't as simple as a paint job (nor as cheap!).

| Not working so well. |
I sewed. Or tried to. My mom and I both got frustrated with the project I was working on so it went away for a little while. Well, who knows how long. Could be a long while.
Dad and I went and did all the shopping for Christmas day. We finished in record time which was absolutely wonderful. Then we braved the mall so my dad could get my mama a birthday present. He is always so last minute, but always gets her exactly what she wants. It's nice when she is specific for him. This year she asked for the Wii Fit - we had to go to three stores to find one, but we managed.
We went to the Christmas Eve service at Willoughby CRC. I haven't been to my old church in years! I always go to Fleetwood CRC when I am home because Sharlene is usually playing piano there when I am around and it is much closer to my parent's house. I really enjoy Willoughby though - more than Fleetwood (am I allowed to say that?). It was nice to see all of my old community again. I need to make an effort to go there when I am in town rather than Fleetwood.

| Such a big girl! Hailey at 6 months. She's actually tiny - in the 10th percentile for height. |
We ended the day by going to Zachary and Heather's house for a games night. Anthony and Jenn came with Hailey. When Hailey is around we all go a bit gaga and can't focus on anything but her. Being an out-of-town Aunt means nothing in my family - everybody fights over the baby. We all vied for her attention until Jenn put her to bed for the evening. Then we played games. Anthony has this pictionary man game that we played. It was hilarious! So much fun.

| Anthony is such a pest! |
