Christmas 2009

Every Christmas wish came true...




Cousins played together...


Daisy found a comfy place to nap and hide...


Clint fixed one computer after another...

Dinner was yummy (although this little one would rather eat a banana)...


Grandpa got a rockin' new hat (that freaked out the cat)...


We had a big, loud, houseful of family...

Family pictures were taken outside in smile-freezing-17-degree-weather (think we'll try again in the Spring)...




I received three mentionable gifts, a new laptop (that I haven't figured out how to use yet), a cookbook compiled by my dad of my Grandma Roesner's recipes (including some of my dad's memories and pictures of my Grandma), and a written history of childhood Christmas memories from my Grandma Edwards...

And, Clint and I had our second totally debt-free Christmas (thanks, Dave Ramsey)...

All in all, a very Merry Christmas!

I LOVE Caitlin's hat, the wild pajamas and the floral couch. That is enough to wake anyone up. I think your family pictures turned out great! Easier to smile when it is warm, though.

That's funny, Lynette- and yes, it is a lot going on, isn't it?!?

What a BEAUTIFUL family! You guys look great! How come poor Daisy wasn't in the family pictures? I love the one with you guys looking up.
It sounds like everyone got what they wanted! Did your parents like their present?

What a great Christmas. I am totally jealous of the debt free thing. Maybe this will be my year! Your family is totally darling.
