With leaving on the 19th of Decmeber for our trip we had to do Christmas early with the family. We went to my mom and dad's on the 17th and opened presents and then ate dinner with them. It was quick because the kids had exams the next day but it was fun. Brice and Eli both got a PSP with games and Shelby got an Ipod nano. They could take all of those on the trip and have something to keep them entertained. On the night before we left for our trip Philip's mom came to spend the night. We did our Christmas then. Brice and Eli both got a Rip Stik and Shelby got a Vera Bradely bag. They were all excited and hated to leave their new things the next day but it was fun being together. This Christmas was really different. We cut way back and the being gone from home was hard. But we were together and that's an important part of it all.
