Christmas 2010

Me and my little Miss on Christmas Eve!

Christmas Morning......the kids were so excited
and very anxious to open all their presents! Owen
was of course up very early, but I actually didn't
get up till 8 so the poor kid had to wait!!

Aaron actually made this sail boat for Owen
and it turned out very cute!! He is so crafty!

The kids opening all of their presents.

Olivia with her "Olivia" apron that

grandma Histand made her. It is darling!

Playing with all her new toys and loving it!

Hat and scarf that great grandma Hess sent!

Cheesing for the camera....she is so cute b/c

she knows how to say cheese and she sees the

camera and says "cheese" in her little voice....

love it!!

Car and dolls that were sent from

her cousins in Pennsylvania!

Me and Aaron....good morning world....Owen took this picture

so guess I couldn't ask for it to be perfect, but thought it was cute!

We got Owen Lego's for Christmas. Aaron loved playing

with them as a kid and thought we needed some for

Owen. He spent several hours at the table putting

them together. I think he had more fun then Owen!

The final project. Owen acts so proud! He

loves playing with them though!

Christmas Eve. We went to Christmas Eve Service at Cole

Church with Leroy and Barb. Then afterwards the rest of the

gang came back to our house for lots of yummy food and of

course lots of good laughs and great fellowship!!

Great grandpa reading to Olivia.

Owen playing his favorite game. He even

beat Aunt Barb and Uncle Rich.

Christmas Day!

We went to Leroy and Barb's Christmas Day for lunch.
Had great Prime Rib! Then of course played a lot too!

Barb playing with the kids and giving

Olivia her Christmas present.

Well...Christmas 2010 is over.....I always love

this time of year....all the decorations, presents,

family, food and of course remembering Christ!
However, it is always sad when it is over. It

goes way too fast. All the anticipation and preparation

and then it OVER!! I wish it would last for days. Christmas

morning with the kids though was the best and makes it all

worth it. It is so fun having that family time with the kids

and creating your own memories and traditions. I always

do get a little sad not to be around my family during

the Holidays, but.....

So Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year!!
