Our Christmas Eve 2009

•December 24, 2009 • Leave a Comment

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

Sean with his cousins

Missing 2 of us :(

Then on to the presents

Hoping your Christmas was joyful!
