Christmas 2011 was not white but it was a good Christmas. All our family was able to get here for the Christmas Holiday and that was the best present we could have. All had safe travels and that is another thing to be thankful for.
We had a great time with everyone here. We had some of the traditional activities which included the frosting of the Christmas cookies. That can be quite interesting, just saying there are usually some unusual creations. Here are some of the creators at work.
The underlying theme for this year was the Sasquatch. It has been rumored to have been spotted in our area. I believe there was even some evidence of his passing. A large footprint was found in the trees east of the house along with some areas where he had bedded down under the trees and even evidence of his sanitary cleanliness.
Here is a picture of Alyssa all dressed up for our Sasquatch walk.
We had lots of presents to open with Quinn getting things started.
Cole seemed happy with this present.
Since we open presents in age order Seri was next.
Next was Matt’s turn.
Alyssa was next.
Then it was Jennifer’s turn.
Next is Brian.
The lovely Miss Marcia.
Next is yours truly.
I got some cast iron skillet ware that I really liked but this picture is actually from last year so it does not show.
We had a great Christmas enjoying our family. They all departed on Tuesday and the house seemed to get very quiet. It was so good to have everyone home, it made for a wonderful Christmas.
Hope everyone has a great 2012.
