Christmas, 2007

Kids and grand kids gathered for our traditional official Christmas morning photo. All of the presents had been opened from under the tree, then came the photo op and finally off to attack the stockings which were hung by the chiminey with hefty bolts because Santa always puts so much in them that they are straining at the hanger!!! This year Santa got a hold of a bad batch of oranges and poor Gwen got a soft, mushy, covered in fungus orange that was stuck in the toe of her stocking. AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Everyone else was lucky enough to get good ones. So at about 12:00 noon, we had finished opening our presents and stockings. Whew!! We we were exhausted. Thank goodness the Christmas festivities were not to start until 3:30. They were at our house this year. We all had a wonderful visit and dinner. It turned out to be another great Christmas Day. We are so blessed with our sweet family and friends. It is always so much fun to watch each other open gifts and this year, Camaryn and Landon were especially fun to watch as they opened and played with their presents. We are looking forward to a new year of family and friends.
