Christmas 2009
Our tradition for the past few years after the bug infested-sap dripping-Apple Hill tree has been to get our Christmas tree at Rite Aid. This year we really broke out though and got it at Home Depot. Here is Bret setting it up.
Brie decorating with a little help from her friends!
Adam adding an ornament. (Check out the muscle shirt!!!)
Christmas Eve was spent at Tom & Barb's with the family. Dinner was dee-lish!!
Getting ready to open presents!
I don't have many pictures with me in them, let alone the whole family, but somehow we ended up with this one. I thought it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! : )
Christmas morning!!!!
Unwrapping gifts while lounging in the bean bags Santa brought -- now that's the life!
Then we were off the Dennis'. It was a gorgeous day so everybody ended up outside on the deck for a while.
Then we ate and opened presents. Every year I get a picture of the kids in front of the tree, and this year was going to be no different.Me: Kids go stand in front of the tree so I can get your picture.
Me: Where's Adam? ADAM!!!
Kids: (Hmmm....let's roll around on the floor and wrestle while Mom stands there with the camera.)
Me: No guys -- get next to each other.
Me: Goodness -- FINALLY!!!
Then the next day it was back to our house for more presents. Yeah, the kids were pretty bummed. Right!! Michele and Ben came up from Santa Barbara. Mary, Uncle Jer, and Gramma all came too, and we had one last celebration before we had to move on to Bret's birthday.
