Christmas 2010

I'm only a month late on this so that's not too bad right! Christmas and New Years flew by and we had lots of great celebrations. We were glad there wasn't a blizzard this year

We put up the tree Thanksgiving weekend and Jensen had fun helping with the ornaments. Christmas Eve we went to Jeff's parents to exchange gifts with his family. It was fun having the two babies Jorden and Julia old enough to open gifts. My dad drove down from Pennsylvannia and stayed at our house for two weeks during Christmas. It was nice having him here for all the celebration. Christmas morning, Jensen woke up at this normal time and opened his gifts. He asked Santa for a rollercoaster toy and a nintendo DS (he has no idea what a DS is but put it on his list just because his friend Joshua did!). Santa brought him the rollercoaster and a bunch of other fun stuff. Of course the gift he plays with the most is a baby toy Jorden got so go figure! Jorden woke up a little later and we helped him open his gifts. Santa brought him a toy guitar since he loves musical toys. Jeff opening his beef jerky

Jeff got me a cool new printer/scanner that I can email pictures to and it will print them. Now I can scan old pictures finally that are not digital. I also got the Wii game I wanted Just Dance 2 and the muffin pans I asked for plus lots of other great stuff. Oh and every year for the past probably 15yrs Jeff's parents get me the new Guiness Book of World Records so I have quite a collection. :) Maybe one day I'll be in it LOL!

One great thing about having Grandpa Mayhle here is that he could take a family picture of all of us in front of the tree.
Jensen and Jorden enjoyed playing with Grandpa. We felt bad that he got a stomach virus the last week he was here so he didn't feel like doing much

For lunch, we went to my mom's house and she made a feast fit for kings with all the good stuff. My dad came over too so it was great having my whole family there together.

All the kids but Julia at the kid's table. She still sits in a high chair

After Mimi's house Jorden got to come home and take a nap before we went out to Jeff's aunt and uncle's in Yukon. We had more yummy food and gifts. My dad joined us as well as Uncle Terry's parents and sister

Luckily this was not a gift for Jensen, it was one of the older cousin's toy that he was checking out and thought was really cool. Oh the faces my children make!

On Monday evening after Christmas we went to Jeff's mom's side of the family to celebrate with dinner and dirty santa at his cousin Kevin and Leesa's house. We had 12 great grandkids there and 9 of them are girls so my boys are definitely outnumbered but we all had a blast!
