Christmas Morning.
Waiting for everyone to get up.
Alex excited about his Mickey mouse.
Opening up the ultimate, down sleeping bag. Joseph saved his points for quite awhile to get this.
Oh, boy! They love their hot sauce. Couldn't resist this when I saw it. Thought they'd get a laugh out of it.
Keith and Zachary with their lego creations.
Enjoying the morning with their new toys.
Papa made a kitchen unit for Audrey for Christmas.
Here are the ornaments that we made. Clockwise beginning with the stained glass penguin, which I made. Joseph made the pattern and then I had the fun of cutting those tiny pieces. The ornament with silver trees and red birds was hand painted Ashley. Jessica made the glittered bird ornament. It has a blue heart hanging on the bottom which is hard to see in the picture. Angela made the linen ornament with the delicate lace. They all are so pretty and I look forward to enjoying them in the coming years. It will be fun as I look at each one and think of each of my talented daughters. This is what I like about our Christmas tree is that it is a tree of memories. Everywhere we have traveled we try to get an ornament unique to that area. This years ornament is a hand painted duck egg that we bought at the blue bell Ice cream factory in Texas this past year. It also is a collection of ornaments that have been given to us as well.
yule log made which Jessica made.
Joseph took the boys snowshoeing in the fields north of us where he showed them animal tracks in the snow.
Eric practicing his guitar. I enjoy listening to him play.
It was a wonderful Christmas season as we had many adventures and just had fun having the family with us during this time. Thanks everyone.
