CHRISTMAS PART TWO

Then the real fun started-On Christmas Eve we had nothing to do for the first time ever. We went to Connie's Pizza downtown and had the coolest waiter ever-Carl! I wish I had a picture of him-he was a rocker dude so Leah liked him, Dana was embarassed that we were talking to him-but he was so cool! He even drew a guitar on our receipt, I think it was for a big tip-it worked! Then we went to Macy's to see the windows. It was so festive down there. My tender-hearted Dana saw a homeless lady and fell apart emotionally. She decided to go give her a little token and gave her everything in her pocket-$19.00! She didn't realize how much she had in her pocket until later! She didn't regret it at all! We were so proud of her! We were glad to see her break out of her moody teenager ways for a moment!
Then we came home and opened our Christmas pj's. On Christmas, we opened our family gifts! Leah got her Red Ryder BB gun, Dana mostly clothes, Cam-mostly Star War Legos and DS games. Dana on her first try shot a bird right out of the sky with Leah's gun-don't worry we immediately banned her from the gun ! Then to Gramma Bettys-more gifts and fun! Then on to my brother's house, where we told there was a ping pong tournament! I was out the first round of course with Leah being in the last round-she came in second! My nephews also got BB guns so there was a lot of ammunition being shot for the holiday!

Proud of her for shooting a bird out of the sky or for the donation? :)
