Christmas 2010

We had our first Christmas celebration on Christmas Day.  Tab and Sam and their families came over for lunch, Todd deep fried a turkey and it was GREAT!  We had the usual green bean casserole, sweet potatoes and jello salad (it seems like I'm forgetting something).  Anyway, after lunch dishes were done, we opened presents!
We had the kids all pass out the presents

Tyler received a camo back pack (and gloves, which I didn't get a picture of)

I gave Tab and Sam stained glass that my sister made:

We gave the grandkids clothes, so they weren't too excited, but it was a need. lol
After the presents were open, we had cheese ball and crackers, and punch, then everyone went home and Todd and I could relax for the rest of the night.

We don't use our fireplace for wood very much, so I put a bunch of candles in it.

Later in January we'll have our Christmas with Megan and Kate and their families.  David is getting home from Iraq today, so we are all excited for that.  I'm planning to make Prime Rib and a ham when they come, yum!

We did have some bad news on Christmas Eve, my brother-in-law in Nebraska had a heart attack and open heart surgery that morning.  He's doing well and still in the hospital, but this was the second year in a row that we've had family in the hospital over Christmas (last year Brandon, ours son-in-law was there after his bad fall).  Jerolyn was hoping to take Dave home tomorrow, but the doctors say he's not ready yet.  Hopefully he'll be home by the weekend. We're keeping them in our prayers.
