Christmas Day!!

We received so many wonderful gifts through the mail this year! Due to my health with this pregnancy we couldn't travel home. I was worried since this was the first Christmas in 9 years that we wouldn't be with family. However, it ended up being a wonderful day due to many wonderful friends here, lots of fun family time with our children, and many calls home that day. (Sorry Dad and Mom, I think I called more than necessary!) Anyways, everyone let us know we were still thought of as the packages kept pouring in. We feel truly blessed by so many thoughtful family members! We tried to scale back this year, but after Great, Great Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Grandparents, and Aunts and Uncles all sent the kids gifts, the tree was packed! Thank you, thank you!! I won't list each gift individually but we are really blessed with a wonderful family! We love you all!!New Bedding for Our Room!

Christmas Morning Opening Stockings First!

I don't have a picture of the gifts Joseph gave me, but he got me some really nice things, including a pair of very fancy leather boots which I love! Thanks Babe!!

Joseph received a new suit and long wool winter coat which he looks really HOTT in!! I must admit he picked these out since I wanted him to get what he would like, but I think I succeeded in surprising him with one of his gifts. He received the new I-Pod Touch from Santa! He has really enjoyed playing with it this week.
