Christmas 2009

Our Christmas weekend was an absolute blast. We spent Christmas Eve day traveling to Mom and Dad's and then over to Beth's for dinner. She always has a beautiful table set and we managed to fit 15 people around her tables. It was good food, laughter, more food and we even got out of dishes. This year, Beth's family did dishes whilel the rest of us headed back to Mom and Dad's to get presents organized and desserts ready! (yep, more food!)

Andy and Teresa drove over from Idaho and actually had a very nice trip - no snow, ice or stormy weather. It was so good to see them! And to catch up on all that they are doing!
The gang before dinner! We then spent the rest of night opening gifts and yep, you guessed it, eating! On Christmas day we went to church, had a nice breakfast, and then it was off for a 5 mile hike! It was beautiful and we loved being up in the forested areas. It felt good to get some exercise!
The day after Christmas we spent some time at Ryan and Aimee's....what fun it was to see the grandkids and watch them open our gifts!
Meysa loves games and we found a great game called HyperDash (sorry Ryan and Aimee, but games are meant to make noise!!!). Meysa caught on quickly and we had fun playing it! Lauryn and Papa Greg played hide-n-seek with picture taking!
Wyatt is determined to figure out why this toy of his making noise (sorry again!!! - not really!)!
Just when Aimee thought she had her house all cleaned up, we show up with more presents to make the mess again.
Papa Greg took this picture for prosperity....just to prove men (even young men) do read directions!
All in all we had a wonderfully blessed Christmas season...one with family and friends....one that we won't soon forget. To have both of my boys around made it so much more special for me. We are looking forward to 2010!
