Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve

Margaret, Mike and Ainsley spent Christmas Eve with us. We ate a lot of good food, and watched A Christmas Story. Everyone looked very festive in their cracker crowns.

We made awesome gourmet hot chocolate-thanks for the recipe Tara.

I put all of the presents on the plant shelf this year to prevent any "accidental" openings.

Margaret and Mike set up these awesome luminaries to guide Santa to our house. I loved my tree this year. It was so fun to have it in the upstairs family room where I could really enjoy it.


Christmas Morning

Ahh...months of work for minutes of sheer joy. I love the look on Paul's face. I'm sure he's having a great time he just needs a Diet Coke.



I think everyone got what they wanted-thanks to exceptionally detailed letters to Santa and constant reminders for the last two months.

Here's to a wonderful 2011!
