Christmas 2010

This year it was 3 straight days of Christmas celebrations that we all pretty low key, except for 1 but we hadn't planned on it being low key. The 23rd we hosted a Santa party with a bunch of friends and my Dad dressed up as Santa for the 19 kids we had. Mostly 4 and under with a few older ones. I of course didn't use my camera for the party and am getting the pictures from my Mom so I don't have much to post from that night.


On Christmas Eve, Shane and my Mom went skiing. I told them I am retired for now from the sport maybe I will break out of my retirement next year. Kendall and I headed down to my parents in the afternoon to hang out with my Grandma and Dad then we had a prime rib dinner with Kyle and Michelle too. Kendall got some fun things and Shane and I got lots of yard stuff including a weed eater which we have been putting off buying. Once again for it being Kendall's 1st Christmas I get a D grade with my camera efforts.



Christmas morning we spent at our house with our family of 3. Kendall was pretty excited when she woke up in the middle of the night and saw her new scooter sitting by the tree (yes, she still doesn't sleep through the night). I had to have Shane move it so she couldn't see it so she would drink her bottle and go back to bed. Shane's parents came over for brunch. Then we headed back over to their house that evening for a nice low key family dinner with Erin and Derek. This year with Shane's parents and sister we adopted a family of 4 and bought them some things they needed instead of exchanging gifts. It feels so good to be able to do that for other families in need and they are always so grateful.
