Christmas 2011

For Christmas Eve we had our traditional candle-light ham dinner. It was wonderful to have Brittney back home for the Holidays.
We also had a fun night of games (which is always more entertaining when Brittney's around).
I always enjoy when Christmas falls on a Sunday. It is easier to remember the true meaning of Christmas and we can sleep in (since we don't open gifts until after church)
AND, we don't look so scary, or get so mad at mom when she takes a million pictures Christmas morning!
Aubrey finely got an i-pod for Christmas this year. . .
and Breck got a lot of useful things (and a really nice bike that we left in the garage).
Merinda was happy to receive some much needed new clothes.
But the kid's favorite gift would have to be their slipper-socks from Grandma Virginia . . .
and the dance shoes Brittney got from the Allen's (her personal ball-room dance teachers).
Here, Breck and Brittney are breaking in both their slippers and dance shoes!

Hooray for happy Christmases and a chance to see our kids who have gone off to school. I'm glad it was good. I like Christmas on Sunday too -- but our church was at one and so there was no sleeping in. Still, seven is not bad.
