Hello everyone,

Here are the final Christmas pics! We spent the Saturday after Christmas with Greg's sister, Leslie and her family. Then we went back to T and Fenori's to open the gifts for own family. We had a lot of fun again!


Everyone looks so nice, including Zoo is his new blue suit! What a cutie!

Aunt Leslie always has a tree made from stacks of cookies. The kids LOVE it! (Big kids, too!)

Aunt Leslie and Uncle Steve always have fun presents for the little ones!

Here Zoo is getting some help from Mommy with his present.

Bean and Bug are having fun opening presents!

Chatting with the family; Uncle Steve, Aunt Leslie, Cousin Drew and his wife, Elizabeth, T.L. Cousin Kyle, Deuce's head (did you recognize her?), Fess and Lili.

They bought each family a "family" sled and the girls had to check it out!

Zoo is looking for something!

Playing on the sled again.

Zoo got a fun toy!

Now that's a new way to ride a sled!

Lili is deciding what to do next!

Uncle Steve is really good with the little ones!

The girls all wore blue velour dresses and were very cute!

Zoo on his way down the hall by himself! Oh-oh!

Aunt Leslie always has a very nice light supper for us.

Uncle Steve with Smidge on the counter. She's really gotten big!

The girls love the little table they get to sit at.

This is back at T and Fenori's for our gifts.

Bean made her three girl cousins each a skirt on Mommy's sewing machine.

Fess showing Daddy her skirt.

Bean opening her watch.

Everyone looking at Bug's watch.

Bug made her cousins mittens with their initials on them.

Bean trying on her new slippers.

Deuce trying on her mittens with Bean, Fess, Lili and Bug.

Deuce and Lili made their presents for Bean and Bug, too. What a good idea for them!

Uncle T.L. and Aunt J.A. gave the girls some "True Life Colors" pencils and they love them!

Fess got a new book and Deuce was reading it to her.

It looks like J.A. is putting earrings in for Bean.

We had a really fun Christmas this year. We started with our tree on Thanksgiving and went all the way through the weekend after Christmas. It's always a blessing to watch the grandchildren play together.

I have lot of new pictures taken after Christmas, so I'll be posting again soon. Have a great weekend!

Shalom in Him,

Robin

Hello everyone,

The Christmas tree before presents were opened.

Grandpa found this fireplace on TV. Fun!

Grandma with Fess and Zoo on my lap and Deuce and Lili by my side. We were watching the pictures on my screen saver before we started. We always begin with the Christmas story in Luke and this year Deuce did the reading. She did an excellent job and we were very proud of her!

The end result of Deuce's efforts! Looking pretty good!

We had a great time! Then we had dinner at noon with Pastor Bill, Roxy and Nick joining us. We were so busy having fun and eating that we forgot to get the camera out. What a wonderful, blessed day! Christmas Day is one of my favorite days of the year!

I will post the rest of the Christmas pics from the following weekend in a couple of days!

I hope you're all having a most blessed 2009 so far! Don't forget to keep the Lord #1 in your life. That means putting Him first above all else and getting to know Him more everyday through His Word! you'll be so glad you did!

Shalom in Him,
