Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning Peter got a fire blazing
and we opened our gifts in warm coziness!
You do, however, need to picture beautiful stone work
around the fireplace and a gorgeous juniper mantle
where the stockings will hang (next year!) - oh
and an awesome huge picture of the fam above it!
All in good time!

The torturous Christmas morning picture before opening presents!

Aunt Britt made the kids name blocks and they love them!

We couldn't get Charley to break away from her kitchen long enough

for a photo op with her blocks though! Thanks Britt!

Makenna has asked for a Shirley Temple doll
that past 2 Christmases - and finally Santa came through!
Way to go Santa, you sure made one little girl VERY happy!

Good thing we don't have much hanging on the walls yet,
Porter really got the hang of his new T-ball set and that ball would go flyin!

Unfortunately I came down with the flu Christmas day, yuck. Fortunately no one else got it and we had a relaxing day with the kids playing with their new gifts, watching the snow fall, and smelling Peter's yummy cinnamon rolls baking. Too bad I couldn't eat any!
