MERRY CHRISTMAS

Okay, I thought I was doing good putting these
in order til I finished and realized I forgot these.
This is Garrett with his stash of gifts.

He loves his new mad bomber hat!

December 25th, 2009 ~ Christmas morning! The boys' woke
us up a little after 6am. They were wound up and ready to
open gifts. As tradition, stockings first!

Tyler was being silly all morning!

The tree has lots of presents under it!

The boys' pass out all of the gifts.

Garrett's 'pile' wasn't as big as the others.....i guess it's the down
fall when you're older and the things you want cost more! :)

Tyler with his pile of presents.

Wow, Bernie must have been good this year!

My sisters' and I weren't able to get together this year so
I had 'extra' things to open this morning. I got lots of really
nice things! Clothes, candles, scrapbook supplies, a wall saying,
canister set, a new wallet, a bracelet, a new bowling ball and
lots of other neat things, including a brand new camera that
I've been wanting and needing!! Thank you honey!! :)

Cade with his presents. He was ready to dig in!

When it was all over with this is what Cade got.

Tyler got lots of hunting things, including the deer license
he's been wanting!

THE AFTERMATH!!!!

Cade got busy right away putting together his new farm lego set.

For those of you on the Schimonitz side,
you'll recognize our breakfast....dough jenny's!
Bernie did try building a fire outside but we are
having blizzard conditions so not good for a fire!
I made sausage and bacon too. Yum.

It's hard to tell in this picture but the wind is blowing terribly.
Not a good day to be out and about so we are staying in today.
We have several new movies to watch and enough food to feed
an army! I have a big pot of homemade vegetable beef soup on
the stove and made a turkey to slice for sandwiches. We have
all sorts of cheese and salami and crackers and cookies and candies
so we're set for a few days!
We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Thank you to
all who gave us gifts!! We hope you all have a great day and stay
safe and warm.
