Christmas 2010

Wow, I can't believe how fast 2010 flew by, but Christmas was very busy at our house.  We had 3 different celebrations, and I've got a load of pictures to share.  We stayed at home enjoyed both families traveling to visit.

The mantel.  Katherine's stocking from my grandmother will be ready to hang next year, but she had her Baby's First Christmas stocking this year.  Next on my list is to find an iron decorative Christmas card holder I can put on the wall.  Our mantel can't hold all our cards and display them properly.

Riley and I started a fun tradition of making cookies for Santa.  I hope this is something we can do each Christmas Eve, because she really got into it.



 Quality control, of course!

Her preschool class at church sent home "reindeer food" to scatter in the yard.  I don't think she quite understood the reindeer, but she had fun putting out the food for them.


Our attempt at a family photo right before the Christmas Eve service.

Ready for bed, and Santa's milk and cookies are in place.


Christmas morning - the first thing Riley checked was to make sure Santa ate his milk and cookies, and of course he did! :)  Here she is opening her presents with us, and Katherine is in her chair behind us.


Katherine and her daddy spending some quality time during all the craziness.

After we had our family Christmas, Chris's family arrived about 10 am, and we enjoyed round 2 of the Christmas celebration.


Katherine during a diaper change.  Ready for more fun!



The Columbus crew just spend the day with us, and my family arrived on Sunday, and we started round 3 as soon as they got here!  Riley is passing out the presents...


...and helping open.

Katherine is focused on her present in her granddaddy's lap.

 Story time with Uncle David.

Time to go night night, giving out her hugs and kisses.
