Christmas 2010

We love decorating the tree each year...so fun to remember
each ornament and the memories attached to it.

The kids had a blast together during the break from school.

Morgan's deluxe sewing kit!

Still loving the Star Wars Legos!

Christmas break was a great time and over too quickly this year. The kids had fun playing with each other, having numerous Nerf gun wars with Rich and I, figuring out their new stuff from Christmas, hanging out with friends, and sleeping in a little.

On Christmas Eve, we stopped by our neighbors', Jeff & Ella, for a cocktail and some of his yummy salsa before heading to the Brown's home for our traditional Christmas Eve feast of clam chowder and many other delicious treats before heading to church for 11PM service.

The kids opened most of the family gifts on Christmas Eve, but were eager to get up on Christmas morning to see if Santa found our house. Lucky for them, it was not a white Christmas so Santa made it safely. Marcia, David, and Jenny came for brunch later in the morning. We had fun conversation and a great meal, complete with mimosas. The day was complete with great phone calls from friends and family and a nap in the afternoon.

The snow came in the middle of the week after Christmas. We got over a foot of snow, so it made for a beautiful scene outside our windows and fun sledding on the hills.
