Christmas was wonderful having all our children and grandchildren around us. Dave had put out a wonderful spread of good things to eat. The little ones were so excited to open their gifts but since our house is so small we had the boys open their gifts first and then the girls. Dave and I were showered with wonderful presents from all of our children. Thank you to all of you for sacrificing what you could have given to your children or each other and shared with us instead. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Next Christmas Eve will be when we have dinner together and open gifts. Someone has already volunteered their home but I will leave it at that until further notice, like say...November!!!
Also, another birthday has come and gone and I'm a year older. Thank you for all your birthday wishes. They meant the world. I love you all. I'm sorry there are no pictures but what can I say, at least I FINALLY blogged.

Haha. I told Arik I suggested that to you, and he said yes..... thinking it was just you & Dave. I said, "no, the WHOLE family." He said he'd let me know when it gets closer to Christmas. HA. Thanks for all you do, they love the gifts. The funny thing is, the cheapo ones are the ones they can't stop playing with - the light up worms. The other night Afton was using it to see her book at night. When it'd stop blinking, she'd hit it against her pillow. So funny. I love you, thanks for making it all so special.
I thought having the boys all open theirs together and then the girls was a great idea! They were all excited together. It was really cute. Thanks for everything. It really was fun. Love you!
Thanks Mamaleine!! I love spending Christmas with my family. You and Dave make it so much fun. The kids always love your presents. I love you
I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas. I hope you have a great 2010! Love you.
