Christmas 2010...Better late than never I suppose...



We had a great Christmas.  We stayed home this year and it was so nice.  I loved being in our home.  We typically rotate between my parents house, our house, and my brother and sister n law's house.  With 3 kids, it is getting harder and harder to load us all up and we got to go to our home church for Christmas Eve service.  Tim and Jen were here till Christmas Eve night so we all exchanged presents with them that night.
Madalyn thrilled with her first pair of "danglely earrings".

So Matt started this tradition with the kids several years ago.  He takes them each to the Dollar Store and lets them pick out presents for all of us.  He makes a little dad date out of it and they look forward to it every year.  These are some pics with Tim and Jen showing their new treasures.  You never know who will get what.  There's been a rubber gorilla, a huge wood bead necklace, pot scrubbers, ceramic dolls, and santa hats.  This year, Mason picked gas pills for Miss Martha, Jen's mom.  I am confident she was thrilled.

Each of the kids got pillow pets from my parents
