Christmas 2010

The time went by fast. I am thankful that the kids could spend the holidays with me. It was fun watching this little one an his antics. This is the first picture of Duncan in the car bring him home to our house.
One of his favorite things to do was climb up the tree - but he needed help getting back down:)Katie and Lauren helped make some amazing cookies this yearKatie decorated our family while Lauren did some abstract designs - fun!We did get out some but also had many opportunities for the games!Our yearly pyramid is always a must.Each year John reads "Twas the Night Before Christmas" but this year it had a new twist:


Christmas morning was a treat with the stocking stuffed and the fire warming the room.Everyone enjoyed some surprises. One of my favorite moments is opening my stocking and getting the home made ornament from the kids. This year Lauren made a sled (from pieces of wood) with the kids as snowman! It is adorable!Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - may we all appreciate all the joys in our lives.
