Day One (Christmas Day 2008)

We left for the lake right after Santa came to our house, and Riley got her Barbie Dream House. We got to the lake about 10:30 or 11:00 and started setting everythin up while Riley played in her new tent that she got for Christmas from Pappy and Mimi (Paul's mom and dad). She did help me decorate the Christmas tree, put up the Christmas lights, and set up the snowman. My dad and stepmom (aka Papa and Memaw) were already there and were camping right across from us. Riley loved the hamock too; she taught it was great fun for about three minutes, then she was fast asleep! She slept in there for about 45 minutes.
