***Sorry about the spacing...I'm blogging through Picasa because it's easier to publish so many pictures but it messes with the spacing. Okay, I feel better now.***
We started celebrating Christmas 2011 yesterday in Lewistown with my dad's side of the family. Deana and Loren were kind enough (and brave enough, I might add) to welcome us into their new home. We had such a wonderful time. There was food, family, presents, more food, and even a little xbox dance contest at the end.
I cannot believed how blessed I am to have these three this Christmas.
Kinley enjoyed her very first Christmas party with a nap and some great smiles for everyone!
McKenna, Tighe, Cooper and Kinley
The whole clan...10 to be exact. Mimi and Pappy would be so proud to see all these great grand kids. We sure miss them, especially this time of year.
The kids waited patiently to open their presents. Oldest gets to go first!
It was fun to see that they were just as anxious to give as to receive.
Me, Cady and Kinley.
Mom and Dad and all their grandkids. I think this is the first picture with all of them together.
Carol and Frank
Luckily we remembered at the last minute to get a family picture! Notice Cooper had already had enough.
Shane and Tighe
Our hosts, Loren, Deana, Morgan and Aunt Mary
I am missing pictures of Amy and Mike and Steve and Krysta and their kids. I'm also lacking pictures of the dance contest that ensued when nearly everyone had headed for home. Let's just say the videos are priceless and we might have laughed off half of the calories we consumed at dinner. Cooper and McKenna sure had a great time though. In fact, at breakfast this morning Cooper said, "I had such a fun time last night. Can we go again?" And to that I say...Loren and Deana, I'll send them your way!
Now we rest and prepare for the big guy to come next Sunday when the partying will continue and carry into the day after Christmas get together with my mom's side of the family.
This is truly a magical time of year!
