Our Beautiful Christmas!

Family Dec 2009Reflections Tie guy

What a wonderful Christmas we had with family! About a week before Christmas we packed up the SUV and headed south...right into a blizzard! Yes, we were forced to stay an extra day at our hotel in Fredricksburg, VA. Thank goodness for the indoor heated pool! It's always nice to spend the holidays with family but this year was extra special because we had everyone present on Christmas Eve...parents, siblings, spouses, kids, everyone! We exchanged gifts and toasted Mom and Dad's 50th Anniversary (that was in October). The cousins who don't get to see each other very often got re-acquainted and had such a good time! Blake is 14 and played with (as well as supervised! thanks Blake!) the other four: Jake (6), Sebastian (4), Gabe (3) and Camille (2). They were really at perfect ages to have a lot of fun together. Some other highlights were our visit with 95-year-old Great Aunt Dot and our visit with my Godparents Aunt Mena and Uncle Ed, our little Christmas light jaunt around the neighborhood with the kids, and seeing my Dad with his grand-daughter (she LOVES him... wouldn't stop crawling up on his lap!) Don't forget to check out the rest of the photos! Click here to view the video montage of the same photos: http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=a1df12152b6f85e1f4dcce&skin_id=701
