So Much to Be Merry About!

What a treat, we woke up to a white Christmas and then enjoyed some time at home
with the boys. My dad came over to watch the munchkins open their presents and to spread his Christmas Joy, we also had a visit from Auntie Rochelle, and Christmas night the rest of the clan; my brother, Grandma Midge, Aunt Shelly, Uncle Tony, and cousin Nicole came over for dinner, where I did in fact cook. We had steak, potatoes, strawberry spinach salad, and homemade apple crisp (my mom's specialty). It was so nice to be in our new home enjoying the life we are making for ourselves and sharing it with our loving and giving (those boys are SPOILED ROTTEN) family. Here are few pics from throughout our day! Enjoy!

We were dreaming of a ...white Christmas...just like
the ones we've never had...lalala...lala


Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house...

...not a creature was stirring...

...not even a mouse


...The children were snuggled away in their beds, until thoughts of radio flyers and...


...and bicycles danced in their heads.


Or...if you were McLane maybe it was visions of these green apples dancing in your head.


The chosen one.


Yumm!


The only d-o-g this child will unwrapping for awhile if mom has anything to say about it.


"Yeah...now I can stop busting into the closet to play with this toy, and
mom can actually take it out of the package and put it on the fridge....yippee."


Accounting for all his gifts.

Is this one mine?

Oh, and what is this...and uncle Blair sighting?? Hehe...the boys miss their uncle Blair, right after Christmas he headed North for the big city life of Portland...but will always have Christmas to
remember him by...hehe.


Thanks Family...See Ya Next Year...Same time...Same Place!
