We had a wonderful Christmas and made lots of great memories. Tessa did Secret Santa with her cousins. It was so fun to see her excitement each night when the doorbell rang. I had 2 weeks off from teaching and Mark had a 1 to 2 days off the week Christmas and then the week of New Year’s . We got really spoiled! Christmas morning was so much fun! Tessa got a slide from Santa, an 
electronic cat from Papa & Grandma Foote and a stuffed dog and a little tikes car from Papa & Grandma Oliver. Tessa’s grandma Peggy got her a rocking horse. It makes noises and moves its head. It took Tessa a few days until she would sit on it but she gave it loves and touched it right away. Needless to say she did not go without! Mark got me tickets to see Reba i concert. That was a total surprise. Mark got an external hard-drive for the computer. He was 
happy and you would have to ask him what the hard-drive is for because I don’t know. I look forward to next Christmas with all its memories!
