Christmas 2010

I'm just starting this blog.  I guess I will start with Christmas as that has just past and I have oodles of pictures to post somewhere.  May as well be here.  :)

I felt very blessed to have all my family over this year for Christmas with the exception of Mike who is serving a mission.  I miss that guy more than I can possibly say. 

On Christmas Eve my family came over for our Candlelight Christmas Eve dinner and our Christmas traditions.  This year we had a new addition -- SKYLAR :)  He is such a sweetheart.  So all who came were: Spencer, Stephanie, Garret, Skylar, Sarah, Ben, Doug, Scott and myself.  And of course, Mike - in spirit.  :)  Scott came a bit late but was here for the activities.  

We had our dinner with our traditional Sparkling Ciders.  This year we had 8 different kinds.  Lots of fun and has been a tradition now for 27 years.  WOW!!!  After dinner we did our "T'was the Night Before Christmas" Mad-lib.  It brought lots of laughs.  Then we read our traditional Christmas Books, along with the Christmas Orange and then watched Mr Krueger's Christmas.  After that we opened all our gifts.  It was a really fun night!!
