Christmas

Christmas this year was a little different than normal. Usually we have lots of kids running around and tons of noise! It's what makes Christmas so much fun. Not to say that this Christmas wasn't fun... it was just different than normal.
It started Christmas Eve at my Mom's house where we ate A LOT of food and played games.
See, LOTS of food!
More eatting!
We then had Christmas breakfast at my Mom's house and presents.
You see this tree? Well, it was planted when I was born and it had grown so much over the years that this summer, it had to be cut down. I assumed that was the end of it until Christmas morning when I opened this picture of my tree and... (see next picture)
This beautiful desk that my wonderful Uncle Jim made for me out of the wood from my tree. It really is much more beautiful in person. It meant so much to me and now it's in our living rooms on display!
Dave got all of this stuff. A BBQ set. One of his favorite card games. This awesome buck knife for hunting. A couple running water bottles and, thanks to me (hehe) an awesome running watch! He got pretty spoiled this year!
That was a very quick view of our Christmas weekend but it really was a wonderful time. We went to my Dad's Christmas afternoon and ate lots more yummy food opened a gift or two. We had a great time visiting with everyone but I have to admit, I sure missed all those kids this year!
