Christmas 2010

It was a fun Christmas, with all of my family in town but Richard. We're glad we saw them at Thanksgiving. Christmas Eve was spent at my parents' house, and included the traditional talent show & white elephant gift exchange, and of course, The Elves delivered Christmas pajamas to the door.

James read an M&M Christmas poem.

Jingle Bells duet

 Blake played Jingle Bells on the recorder with his nose! 

 Papa always plays the song about the Christmas animals, while the grandkids sing with puppets.

 Brynlee loves the bike from Santa!  She didn't want to get off of it to open presents.

 Santa brought a ping pong table!

 Marinne got a phone, so I apologize in advance for all the texts you're going to receive!

 silly bands

 Ray got wireless headphones, thanks to the Coke Rewards he's been saving.

 Marinne bought me this lovely hat with her own money.

 We do Christmas morning at our house, then head over to my parents' for Christmas brunch.

My sisters and I made this quilt for my mom's Christmas gift. 

Our Christmas was wonderful!  Now on to the new year!
