The boys were more than spoiled with no room left in the car for a Grandma, but don't worry we didn't tie her to the roof of the car! The biggest gift of all that we are all very happy about was the gift of GRANDMA! Papa said we could keep her for as long as we wanted so Tim and I are going to take advantage of this wonderful gift of extra help and support!!
We want to thank every single member of the Haggar Family for giving us a wonderful Christmas experience! A huge thanks to Mary, Chris, and Mak for letting us stay with them and we are still sorry about the lack of sleep!! And of course we can't thank everyone enough for spoiling our children and Tim and I! Thank you and we love you so much!
