Christmas 2008



The Yarbrough Family had a lovely Christmas!
Most memorable story of this Christmas~ Brian did not believe that Santa was going to come. He just decided that he was not a fan of this Santa character. Instead he was sure that it would be Rudolph that would come, Rudolph that would bring his gifts, Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph. My parents and I took Brian to the Winter Wonderland at the Hunt Club Farms on Christmas Eve (Steve had to work) and we went for Mongolian BBQ afterwards. As we were leaving, an older gentleman asked Brian if Santa was coming to see him tonight. Brian said, No. The man looked at him startled. Brian clarified, firmly stating that Rudolph was going to bring him his presents. So I had to label two of his gifts from Rudolph. I think we may have to make that a tradition. It was too precious, Christmas morning he was so disappointed because he thought Rudolph would still be here and he could give him a hug. He was somewhat relieved to see that Rudolph ate the pumpkin bread that we had to leave out for him, in addition to the milk and cookies for Santa.
The day after Christmas, Brian and I drove up to DC to spend the weekend with my parents (Steve was working all weekend- this time of year is insane for them) and we were able to see my best friend Shannon and her family. Awesome Auntie Shannon gave us a ton of stuff for our baby girl, when I say I won't have to buy any clothes for our baby for a few months, I am not even exaggerating!!! Not to mention the travel set, bumbo seat, and rocker...Many thanks to her for her generosity, we love ya girl!



Brian trying out a new look, styling in his Christmas gift from Noni- genuine John Deere cowboy boots from the country and western store in Honey Grove, Texas!! Love the authenticity! Brian absolutely loves them, and the belt she sent with them, here he pairs the boots with a pair of Cars underoos and a Handy Manny pajama shirt....
Who says cowboy boots aren't efficient running shoes?

It looks like y'all have had a great Christmas!! Doesn't it stink when our men have to work so much??!! That is AWESOME that you got so much stuff from your friend for baby "Hope". I have a SIL who does the same for my girls and it is SO helpful and amazing when we get clothes etc from her. I hope you have a great rest of the week!!!
