Family Christmas(es) 2008

So...it's hard to pick just ONE picture and I can't even just post a family picture from each because..well...we didn't get one taken! Oops! Apparently, too much going on!

So...here are a few pictures:

First we had Christmas at home. We slept in and opened our gifts together before anything else. :) I got a new cell phone that Ron did a great job of hiding from me! And Ron got some Nike sweat pants, Woot shirts, a carafe, new travel mug, and a Steelers stocking hat.

Then, we went to his parents' house in the afternoon and had Christmas there. We had a wonderful dinner after opening gifts.


Austin and Rachel got a new 7-week old puppy - he was adorable and so much fun!! Austin thought he needed to be wrapped in the blanket all day/night! haha

Erika, Rachel, and Spencer getting ready to play Mexican Train.

Then, on Monday (29th) we had Christmas with my family. Ron was able to join us Sunday and Monday. On Friday, Jen/Mike and Jason/Kerby arrived at Mom/Dad's so I went up to see them. On Saturday, Julie/Keith and kids arrived and I spent most of the day there (again). We celebrated Caleb's 2nd birthday on Saturday with mom's ADORABLE snowman cupcakes. He did a great job blowing out the candles!



Hopefully this video works ok - my first attempt... Caleb was singing Happy Birthday to himself with the rest of us and I thought his expressions were too cute while trying to blow out the candles!!!


And, since we didn't have a family picture I decided to post the one of Ron and I with the munchkins. I got them a lot of books - puzzle books, sing-a-long books, and books with TINY stuffed animals to go with the story. They seemed excited... :) haha

It was back to work on Tuesday but I was fortunate enough to go back up to Mom/Dad's to visit with the kids and Julie/Keith a little more before they left Wednesday morning.

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts and it was great to see EVERYONE! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and safe and happy New Year!

I like the video. We have put all of ours together yet, but I like to be able to see them separate with the voices too. We had fun!

Yeah, a picture should've been taken after church.....but. I guess the wedding ones will have to do this winter.
