Christmas was just absolutely wonderful. We had brunch at our house and it was so great to have so many people over.

After brunch we opened gifts – and there were so many!

These are just the gifts we had under the tree before everyone else arrived.
As you can see I bought the Rock Band game for Curtis and everyone loved it! We had such a great time playing! On the vocals: my sister, on the guitar: my mother in law, on the drums: my brother-in-law. Curtis is in the back waiting for a turn!

My father-in-law really got into it. Check out his rocker shades!

Brett is so talented!

Nathan liked his gifts too:


The best part of the day was just having the whole family together (Matt & Missie we really missed you)! I didn’t take very many pictures because I was just busy really enjoying the day.

For Christmas’ Eve we had dinner at my sister’s and Nathan got to open a few gifts.

This is Nathan receiving his first Christmas gift of the night. Look how happy he is:

Wow, it’s a big one!

Oh, I wonder what it is…

With grandma, grandpa, and his new trains

How many intelligent adults does it take to put a baby’s car together?

One of the things I love about the Christmas season is receiving Christmas cards. It’s just so fun to find a special piece of mail in the middle of all your bills and “unsolicited mail”. For some reason there’s something very special about a handwritten note. Maybe it’s just me but to know that someone took the time to send me a card in the mail makes me feel very happy. So thank you to all my friends who thought about me and took the time to send me a Christmas card this year!
For our Christmas cards, I know it’s cheesy but I love having our family photo taken. I don’t know how I manage to convince everyone that this is a good idea, but they always show up and smile for the camera We’ll have to see how much longer I can keep this up.
Here’s our photo from this year. If you didn’t get a card from us, please email me your address so we can send you one next year
