Christmas 2008






The Christmas season was WONDERFUL! Busy, so busy but so much fun and such an abundance of things/people to be grateful for! We had a family party early in the month. More people can be here for it if we do it early. Christmas Eve brought a multitude of family. McKenna helped grandma cook and we baked a birthday cake for Jesus. She added a whole 3oz bottle of red food coloring and we had the brightest birthday cake ever!  We opened the traditional Christmas Eve gifts and had lots to eat. Christmas day began early. Jason and Breck and the Jones kids stayed here and Santa knew just where to find them. As everyone trickled in and out all day we spent it opening gifts, recieving the best hugs and kisses and eating all we could hold. We had ham and salmon, grandma's fruit salad and all the regular fixins. Uncle Ron came to celebrate with us and we heard via email from Rosanda, Aunt Vi's family, and Barbara. Only one tiny downside to the day...it is over. You know how I HATE saying goodbye to this season. I'm trying to talk myself into getting the tree down before it's time to put valentines on it but it is hard.
