Christmas!

What would a blog be without pictures of Christmas morning? I'm gonna take it one step further and include our Christmas Eve festivites and the day after Christmas...which we Canadian's fondly refer to as "Boxing Day!"

Christmas Eve started with a house FULL of family...about 30 people. It was squishy and great all at the same time. WAY too much food and lots of fun to go around. Thanks everyone for everything you did to make Christmas Eve so much fun!

Christmas Day was filled with the usual and on top of that...a friggan TON of snow! I LOVE IT! Sorry, Sharra...but on this end of Quartz Hill we are lovin' it! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Boxing Day? Even more snow!!! Here are some pictures to document our activities -
Just one angle trying to capture the massive amounts of family and food!
Another angle, more food! It was so much fun - Thanks EVERYONE!

You seriously have the cutest family! Thank you so much for the little ornaments. I ended up needing them for presents for other teachers. They were PERFECT!

Your cards were gorgeous. What a great photo! If I were more 'on the ball' I would have gotten one of ours to you. Did it happen? Nope. Your party looked like tons of fun. And of course, your kids are the cutest. Even when one of them is throwing a tantrum in Sam's Club. Yep. I saw it. And I said to myself...I am SO GLAD my kids aren't the only ones that do that. In fact, just a day or two before, one of mine had a melt down in Target. I was EXTREMELY amazed at how you handled it. I need to work on my patience. Needless to say, the sight at Target wasn't near as pretty or well handled as yours at Sam's Club. :)
