This year, because Christmas fell on a Sunday, we decided to do our family Christmas on Saturday - and of course, none of us minded doing it a day early! :)
Friday night, while Mommy and Daddy went to Dallas to see a Canadian Brass concert with Mr. and Mrs. Davis, and Daniel and I hung the stockings :)
Sarah was finishing up her gift for Grandma, and knitted toboggan
Christmas breakfast - 14 people around the table, 15 if you count R&J's baby! :)
looking in the stockings
reading the Christmas story :)

opening gifts....
Peter's new hat from Daddy :)
David had to try it on!
Andrew's hat.... :)

after all the gifts had been opened, they guys and I went out to were they had been working in the woods, and started some of the brush piles on fire! :)
two of the puppies followed us out
Andrew had carved his initials in a stump with a chainsaw :)
the creek
Andrew in his natural habitat!
I thought the erosion from the trees roots looked kinda neat!
Samuel and Daniel crumpling newspaper to start the fire
There is something very cheerful about a fire!
the ensemble of books I got from Mommy and Hannah! ;)
my gifts from Samuel - I'd say he's figured out what I like pretty well! :)
My gifts from Hannah! :)
(we draw names to give gifts, and she drew me! :)

Christmas morning, we had church in our basement!
It was more like an extended family get-together than church, though!!!
Mr. Davis reading part of the Christmas story from Matthew
After lunch, we played volleyball - but I didn't get any pictures of the games...but we had boatloads of fun!!!
