Christmas Highlights

A picture speaks a thousand words, or so they say. I wanted to share a little bit about the great Christmas we enjoyed around here and decided to do it in pictures. I hope you enjoy the over abundance of pictures G&G Rowen. To the rest of you, I hope you don't mind too much. Santa's little elf enjoying an outstanding Christmas party!

The family with Santa--where does this fellow find the time??

Christmas morning was a blur of excitement.

Emma was thrilled to add more Webkinz to her collection.

Matthew's new bike is just his size and NOT purple.

Oats and celery for the reindeer, of course.

Cute in their new PJ's.

Abbie and Emma were enjoying watching the action of the cousin's gift exchange hosted by Debbie and Greg.

We always have such a great time being together. Christmas Eve was, of course, no exception. We had a full mexican spread to feast upon including tamales, enchiladas, beans, rice, El Torito's cilantro salad, flan and fried ice cream. Egg nog smoothies (a must) and appetizers started us off.

Seriously. What a handsome guy.

Hum, what shall I eat next?? Actually that really wasn't what I was thinking.

The cousins are in this picture just waiting to get started with the gift exchange. I don't know why Matthew is pulling at his face.

Of course no family Christmas Eve celebration would be complete without a reading of the account of Christ' birth. We took turns telling the story with scripture, carols and pictures. It was lovey. Merry Christmas to all!
