I got so excited about all of the organizing that we did at the ranch and our house that I completely forgot to say anything about Christmas. We had already exchanged or received many of our presents so on Christmas morning we had our Christmas stockings from Jimmy and Mary Beth to open. We also got to watch Jimmy and Mary Beth open their presents to each other. Mary Beth had purchased an ipod and all kinds of fun accessories for Jimmy. During Christmas Eve day, Andy set up the ipod and put the music from Mama Joyce's birthday party as well as multiple podcasts on it so that it would be ready for Jimmy to use immediately. Everyone was really excited as Jimmy opened and played with his new toys. Jimmy gave Mary Beth a coffee and cappuccino maker. Later, he even got her an exercise bike; they can now workout together in the blue room. This is a picture of the two of them trying to figure out how to work all of their new technological toys.
That afternoon, we had an early dinner at Jim & Norma Walker's (Andy's paternal grandparents) house with much of his family. Everyone contributed to the bounty of food and enjoyed eating it. There was even leftover cake from Joyce's party for dessert. Then, presents were handed out and opened. We also shared many stories of Christmas morning. Afterwards, we headed home, grabbed another change of clothes, and headed back to the ranch to finish the Extreme Walker Home Makeover.
