Christmas 2007

We celebrated Christmas with Grandpa Rick and Grandma Kay on Saturday evening. We had really good roast, cheesy potatoes, and corn for supper and then after gifts were opened, Dana shared a creme' de cassis cheesecake she made. Grandma let the grandkids frost and decorate their own cookie.









The face says it all.










Allyson loves her talking Dora purse!










Stocking time! So excited about fruit snacks and Sally!













Grandma helping Ally with the frosting.

Playing with some of our gifts the next morning.













On Christmas Eve we went to my grandparent's house. We had soups, homemade pig-in-the-blankets, and munchies. Caden got a Kenworth semi truck and Allyson got a Tupperware play set with plates, glasses and a cake carrier.











Playing Bingo for prizes is always fun.

Christmas morning, we woke up around 8 am and found Santa gifts.









Allyson got a Talking Dora House and Caden got a Geo Trax set. They were both very excited!













The kids got digital cameras. They are so much fun!
They love to take pictures of everything!

Christmas dinner was at Grandma Mary and Grandpa Wayne.
We had turkey chili and cornbread.
Caden got a Cars suitcase and hotwheels cars to play on his cars rug.
Allyson got a Dora suitcase and Dora dress up clothes.
When we got ready to leave, it was snowing outside. What a beautiful white Christmas!












Christmas night, we went to yet another Christmas party. This was with my other grandpa and grandma. We had a potluck supper and lots of munchies. We have a grab bag for the adults and we play a game where you draw numbers and can steal one another's gifts when your number is up. It is always fun to see what everyone gets at the end of the game.
Tessa got some nail polish and painted Allyson and Hannah's toes. We drove home in snow and I would guess we got about 3-4 inches. It was pretty, but not so much fun to drive in. It has been a few years since we had snow on Christmas.
