Merry Christmas 2008 !!!

M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S !!

We had a truly great day today. The kids got lots of really nice and fun presents. My Mom Lynne and step-Dad Randy were here, as well as Mike's Mom Margie. We had a nice time this morning. I had really good intentions to get lots of pictures - but did not get many taken. I was trying to list the gifts on paper for the 3 kids for thank you notes and I just got distracted. I will post the precious few pictures at the bottom of my post.

All the women pitched in and got our turkey in the oven along with a big batch of meat dressing, broccoli, peas and corn. Also rolls and a family tradition called Cranberry Ice.
I did manage to get a picture of the kid table taken - but not the adults table with the Christmas dinnerware and glassware. Such is life.

We got the dishes done, and the food put away, and have already made a batch of turkey soup. The kids are playing video games, Megan is trying out her camera. Megan also had a record jump on her pogo of 110 jumps in a row. I had taken some pictures of her [on her camera] and Ryan on the pogo sticks - but she deleted them before I could figure out how to transfer them to the computer.

For those of you interested, I have been working on a project for a Christmas card. Looks to be New Years now - but just a hint: **I have been madly scanning pictures from 1984 - all the Christmas's Mike and I have been a couple and now parents.
