CHRISTMAS 2007

It sure seems like a long time ago! We went to Keri's on Christmas Eve, in the afternoon, and had lunch at Appleby's. We got back to Keri's before the big storm hit with lots of wind and snow. It was just what Santa needed, and the boys got up at 6am to see what he brought!

There tree was in the front entry room, so they would carry their presents into the living room so we could watch from the comfort of the couches.


Dan was real excited to be up at 6 am!














Cam's pictures all turned out blurry---maybe he just didn't stop moving! There was so much to see!



All three boys got these cute tents for their stuffed animals, but of course they had to try it out for themselves!



















Clean-up is half the fun---ha, ha!

After spending the morning with David, Nathan, and Cameron, Dad and I headed for Matt and Kati's. Dan went back to bed.

At Matt and Kati's, Jackson and Ryan were having fun with some of their new things, wearing their new matching pj's. Haleigh wasn't too sure who we were.


But it didn't take her long to decide that she liked Grandpa!


We were so glad when Matt and Kati asked if we wanted something to eat! They started hauling all kinds of goodies out, including a Honey-Baked Ham. Everything was delicious.


In this picture Jackson looks like he's half asleep--which he probably was! Matt said he was sure Jackson must have set his alarm to get up early.


Ryan loved this flying dragon fly. It was really something!

And those eyes are really something, too!


Haleigh enjoyed lunch as much as we did! We stayed for a couple of hours, and then headed for Michael's. Michael had called earlier to say that Michelle had the stomach flu so we didn't want to go visit, but we had presents for all their kids, so we parked in the driveway, and Michael came out to get the presents, while the kids cheered from the front window.

Except for not being able to spend time with Mike and Michelle and their kids, we had a wonderful Christmas. We certainly did miss Sara and Isaac, and Spencer, who had gone skiing with Nicky. I must confess that it was nice to come home to a clean, quiet home!

We sure loved being able to webcam with you- it made us feel like we were part of the action!
