Back in 2010...

...we had a very Merry Christmas.
Although we get to sleep in a little longer than when our kids were younger, Gabe said he still read for over an hour waiting for a decent time to try to wake his older siblings. I believe the waking order was the norm: Gabe, Mom, Hailee, Dad, Christian & Brittney.
The picture of Christmas: red and white stripped pajamas, enthusiasm and JOY!
A different kind of picture of Christmas:
SCORE!
Christmas Brunch with the fam...german oven pancakes, fresh fruit, homemade syrup,breakfast casseroles, sausage, waffles, juice and hot chocolate. Mmmmm. Emma suggested that we do this menu for all of our gatherings-including Thanksgiving.

Show and tell
Showing the love.
Caleb gave Jill a porcelain frog. Jill is protecting its fragile-ness.
Maddie was so excited for presents. Hers and everyone else's.
Maddie K. has been doing an internship in a hair salon. She is very gifted in the area of personal hygiene and appearance-as is obvious with how dang cute she always looks. Jodi blew her paycheck on hair products for her and Brittney.
Gabe got the very interesting, mesmerizing, disgusting Guiness Book of World Records book as a gift from his dad. (Who I think secretly got it for himself).
One whole semester behind them and they still like each other.
Sophie has always had a special affinity for Brittney. I have seen many similarities in the two. Although Brittney never skipped class until she was in High School.
Mom gave each of us a canvas print of our family pictures. The gift of family: priceless.
