Our Christmas celebrations!

Like most families, we work around the schedules of our children so they can also enjoy Christmas with their in-laws. We had the JOY of two Christmases, one on Christmas Day and the other on New Year's Day. Fun was had by all at each celebration.

Christmas Day included enjoying watching Tristan and Sofia discover that Santa had brought Tristan a shiny new bike and Sofia a beautiful doll house! Melissa gave her gifts to the kids on Christmas Day too, then April, Chris and Lillie joined us for a day of playing with the kids, having a fondue dinner and playing Apples to Apples. If you didn't recieve this game for Christmas, you should consider purchasing it, very fun!

Of course during all of our celebrating it snowed and snowed and snowed!

New Year's Day found us all celebrating together along with Great Grandma and Grandpa McGuire. We had a wonderful day opening our stockings, eating a belgian waffle breakfast, opening gifts, cooking a crown pork dinner and staying up until 2:00 AM just enjoying each other's company, AND WATCHING IT SNOW YET AGAIN. I have created a Christmas slide show on the right side of our blog. If you want to read the captions just click on any picture.

We are sure that you all enjoyed making memories with your families too and we look forward to a New Year filled with all kinds of JOY!!
