Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve - We Made Dad go first to open his gift that "His Children" went in on for him this Christmas.   We all wanted to see his reaction so doing it now was the best for most of us to be here in attendance.

Mom Opening her Gift

After Dad has opened his gift from "US" Mom thought for sure that she too was going to be opening a box after a box after a box and was surprised that the gift was truly a dishwasher - Something she has been wanting for the past few years.




To let you know how much she didn't suspect us getting this for her - She was cleaning out from under her sink Just the day before and Allen and Sarah were over and she gave Sarah all her dishwasher soap that had been sitting there for so long because she would probably never have a working dishwasher so why keep the soap - Sarah said she was holding onto it at her house and would just save it for her.

Granny and Papa

    Sitting on Santa's Lap

What do you Want for Christmas?  "Santa asked?"

Granny said she wanted a Sarah Palin Book.

Papa said "nothing"  I have all that I could want.  

Then he pointed to all of us - of course a few of us are 

not present but we all knew what he meant.  

Santa and The Kids!

Every Year at Christmas Eve Santa comes to visit at Granny & Papa's House!

We all get to sit on his lap and tell him what we want for Christmas!

And this year Santa told the kids that he would be having his Elves check their rooms to see if they are clean & if they are not asleep when he fly's over he would not be stopping because he is way too busy.

Our Family - Christmas 2010

This is our wonderful family photo. We tried, and tried, and tried and tried to get this good enough. Finally it took a spur of the moment visit from Sabrina's Visiting Teacher to get this right (thanks Sis. Sessions).
