Merry Christmas 2010
I hope everyone had a great holiday. Ours was really nice. Every year we tell ourselves we will start our shopping way early in the year. We have 7 children & we always do it in the last 2-3 weeks before Christmas. This year was no different.
My Mom always told me that for her Christmas was full of more joy when my siblings & I were little. After we got older, the holiday for her was more fun when she had grandchildren. I am starting to see what she meant! We have a 14 year old & a 13 year old. They are way harder to shop for than our younger children. It is always fun watching their faces when they open gifts on Christmas morning.
We had everyone asleep by 10PM on Christmas Eve, besides Tom. He wasn’t having it. He eventually knocked out around 11:30PM & everyone was up by 7AM. It was a long day & we got bunches of snow, matter of fact, it is still snowing! I hope you all enjoy the pictures from our holiday. Merry Christmas! 
Looks like christmas was a great day. What did mom and dad get? The snow pictures are so pretty. Durham got 6 inches while I was traveling.
Dad got a boxer named Bruiser & I got a pair of boots & pre-order for a video game I have been waiting for. The snow finally melted yesterday after we had some rain. Hope you had a nice holiday.
