Christmas 2010 with the WHOLE family!

The best present we got was having all the family
in town this year to celebrate Christmas.
We so loved having us all together for Christmas Eve
and Christmas day-lots of great memories!

The kids decorated gingerbread people
on Christmas Eve day.







We spent Christmas day out in Newberg.


Cutie pie!

Playing games!




Eating a delicious turkey dinner.



Nana had the idea to have everyone dress
up and act out the Christmas story.



Joseph and baby Jesus!



Sam read from Luke as everyone else acted out
what she read.

Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus

An angel telling the shepherds that Jesus was born!


The whole acting crew! Great job everyone!





Opening gifts-Syd got clothes from us.







The kids played ping-pong out in the garage.
They played pretty hard, as you can see!

So wonderful to have the Tex'ns with us.

During our extended stay in WA we got
lots opportunities to enjoy

snowboarding which they
did three different days.

Lindsey and Nolan get married!

We were so blessed to be a small part of
Lindsey and Nolan's big day!
While Dad was driving Michael back from Ephrata
after his surgery recovery, Mom was
entertaining all the ladies
as they prepared for the wedding!

Lots of beauty preparations in the dining room....

Nice lips, Janice:)


Mom and I prepared food for the bride and bridesmaids
while they were getting ready for the big evening.


The gals had a lot of fun being together
and doing hair, make-up and fingernails etc.



Lindsey helped a few of the gals by doing their hair-dos!






The boys dressed up to be door greeters
and were very pleased to be a part of
the big event for
Lindsey and Nolan!
Here's Uncle Kenny and Aunt Janice
with them:)

Lauren was the maid-of-honor!
Everyone looked so wonderful!!!



Cute boys, aren't they?!
