Christmas Photos!

I finally had some time today to post some Christmas photos. We've been busy cleaning out some closets and watching chick flicks and working on school planning and watching chick flicks and catching up laundry and watching chick flicks and looking at Ella's pictures and watching movies with Thomas, so you see why I'm just now getting around to this little activity.

Thomas was very happy with several sets of Legos. Abby likes her new magnet dolls and her ironing board and iron. David got a new study Bible. And here's a picture of Grandpa, lounging in his recliner, watching all the kids having fun opening gifts.







One of my favorite things is to have all the kids in the kitchen with me, cooking on Christmas Eve. Rachel made rolls, Emily worked on stuffed eggs and potato salad. Carrie put together a cranberry congealed salad.





We opened presents on Christmas Eve. It's always fun to give, isn't it?


But here's the best Christmas present! (just had to sneak in another picture of Ella!)
