Christmas 2008!

We had such a wondeful Christmas. I hope all of you did as well. It all started with Christmas Eve and the 24 family members who came over for dinner. I wish that I had a picture but didn't get my new camera until Christmas day. We had family in from New York, New Hampshire and Reno. It was so nice to have both my dad and moms side together for one night. My Aunt Carol made lasagna for dinner and it was delicious. Thanks Carol. Kim and Don brought over their Wii and we played Rock Band until 11:30 when we got kicked off because Santa was coming. Rock Band was so much fun!! (Except for Kim and my dad telling me how bad my voice was)

Christmas day was a little smaller but just as good. Our family had decided to only get presents for the kids. However, my mom and dad surprised me by getting me a new camera. I was so happy. I had been looking to buy one for a while but wanted to wait until after Christmas. It was perfect. Of course, all the kids got spoiled. What is Christmas without kids getting spoiled? Trevor and Taylor are at such a fun age. We had a great time watching them open their presents. It was such a nice day relaxing with my wonderful family. Dinner was amazing. My mom cooked prime rib that was soooooo good.

I feel so blessed to have the family that I do. Thank you to all of them for making such a memorable Christmas. Christy, Dave, Emily, Ethan, Nancy, Roger, Jim, Faira and all the locals: You are the BEST!!!!

Me and my two favorite second cousins, Ethan and Emily

Me and Trevor. Look at his cheesy smile. He is so funny.

Ethan, Trevor and Emily. They bought him a new helmet.


Dave and Aunt Carol and the delicious prime rib that my mom cooked.

Christy and Dave relaxing between opening presents and dinner.
Ethan and Emily with their mini ping pong table. Because they live in New Hampshire, Christy and Dave made this ping pong table out of cardoard. Pretty creative.


Trevor and Don. Another cheesy smile.


My dad and Trevor. Yet another cheesy but cute smile.

Baby Addison, Emily and Taylor.
