Christmas Memories

Christmas was lots of fun this year. We remodeled our house and added a big family/dining room off the kitchen which we properly inaugurated with lots of Christmas parties and lots of people! The room got done just in time to put up our tree a few weeks before Christmas.   Tyler's family and Toni's family happened to drop by so the kids had a ball "helping" grandpa put out the train around the tree.

A week before Christmas we had a "pre-Christmas" Dinner with the Fillmore and Harris families.  It was lots of fun and we ate lots of prime rib!  We later spent Christmas afternoon together out to Tyler's house

Also, the week before Christmas we had my siblings and mother over to have, yet, another Christmas party


Then a few days before Christmas all of Rich's kids arrived (except Erika's family) and spent the next ten days.  We had prime rib again on Christmas Eve... did the nativity...opened lots of presents (all our kids went in together to get us a great new t.v.)...ate, played games, ate, played basketball, ate, played volleyball, ate and did a "few" loads of dishes and laundry, but  we loved every minute of it and look forward to next Christmas.
