Christmas at Our House

Merry Christmas everyone!

Our Christmas Eve 2009

Today started out with my husband having to spend the day preparing the roads of Kansas City for the winter storm rolling in, so sadly he was absent for our day.  Also absent was my son Jeremy, he will join us tomorrow.  This morning the kids & I frosted our Christmas cookies!

The Grandparents & Aunts, Uncles, and cousins came over and we had a wonderful dinner.  Then Emma got an idea to “sell candy”.  Promptly, everyone lined up!

Then it was time for pictures by the tree

Then on to the presents

Hoping your Christmas was joyful!
