Christmas this year was a wonderful celebration of Christ’s birth! We pray that we would celebrate it every day in our hearts and in our lives!
Again, I didn’t take hardly any pictures. Still too busy having fun!!!
Since we all had a late night, and no one is 5 anymore, we started out Christmas Day by sleeping in a bit! We made some hot cocoa and cracked open our stockings first.
no time like the present to try out Will’s new flint (or better place for that matter) LOL
This Christmas it was pretty hard to pick our favorite gifts. There were so many great ones! The boys were excited about their BB pistols and took them out right away to shoot up my broccoli in the garden… :o)
Chris can now “feel human again” (according to the box)
Zack can now take 300 minutes of video and…
listen to music in peace
this is as close to a white Christmas as we got this year
Andy has to see which drumsticks he likes best
Betsy loves her new toy (thanks Ella)
With all the delicious leftovers from Christmas Eve, we enjoyed a really yummy breakfast with no work!!!
Then after a relaxing morning and early afternoon, we headed south to Portland for Christmas Dinner at Grandpa and Grandma’s. We made a stop on the way to check out the new shelter at the creek and to show off the new guns to Grandpa.
nobody would stand next to it for a picture this time… :o)
Mom hosted Christmas dinner yet again this year. Frank, Amy, Ada, Theresa, Grandma Ide, Aunt Kackie, Dennis, Nancy and Bethany were all there to help us celebrate.
Grandma Ide gave me two blasts from the past this year. One was a bird Christmas tree ornament I made in the first grade. The other was a stack of retro Christmas cards. I put the cards out as soon as I got home! I can’t wait to think of something fun to do with the rest that she’s giving me!!! Thanks Grandma!
No staying up late last night. We went in the hot tub, the boys messed around a bit with their new stuff, we set up our new airbed by the Christmas tree (in 3 and a half minutes). And then I crashed for the night right there in front of the Christmas tree for our annual Christmas tree sleep-over!
Yup! It’s good!

Looks like a fine full day! 5 out of 7 of us have a really bad cold, which sort of took some of the enjoyment away - we still went to church on Christmas Eve though - I have been waiting all year for that night- last year it was too snowy to go out, I knew I was going to bring my camera (I'd never done that before), since I had larygitis and couldn't sing, it worked great and I did get some great shots, I'll post later. Only the 2 healthy ones have gone off to church this AM though.
