Christmas 2008

Hendrix's first Christmas was so incredible! We had my mom and dad, my in-laws, and Raul and Audra all here for the holidays!! My parents and Raul and Audra stayed for a week. It was so much fun! We played Rock Band a lot. We even had our own band (Raul, Audra and I) called Lipstick Tube, inspired by Audra's dog Wilson. Raul rocked the guitar, Audra sang beautifully, and I played the drums. My mom, Audra and I also went and saw Twilight! We had been wanting to see it since it came out, but wanted to go together, so waited until Christmas. We have all read the book and were really excited about the movie. Mixed feelings on what we thought about it. We also went wine tasting!! So much fun! I actually decided I might like wine. We had one called Vintage Ink Red (ssooooooo good) I even bought a bottle! We broke the Christmas rules and had Christmas early! haha we were very excited! Hendrix had a lot of fun! He was spoiled rotten! Of course! Raul and Audra made us some amazing Christmas decorations. Raul hand carved and painted guitar ornaments for our tree, but they are going to be hung up in our Guitar room in the off season. They were incredible, and Audra made a beautiful sled, a NOEL hand painted ornament, and a mitten that was like a golf ball! Very talented people those two! I had a picture of Sugar eh drawn for Raul, that made them cry (GO ME)! Plus we all got UW gear (YES)!! Brian loved his! We had quite a few awesome dinners, thanks to Audra. Also, a GREAT Christmas lunch! Thanks to everyone! What an incredible holiday it was. We went to church wednesday night for a Christmas program. It was great! Way to much to write out, or even explain, it was PERFECT! My parents got to go back to Seattle with Raul and Audra, we were very excited for them. My dad have never been, so they should have tons of fun!! Some of my crazy family members did the annual dog biscuit eating, and my mom I guess didn't have enough, because then she tried to sneak some in her Pepsi cup! We were very sad to see them go, but so glad they all came! It's a wonderful life!
