Chritmas 2008


Christmas day began with our annual Christmas breakfast at Jason and Melinda's. Before breakfast, however, we got to see Laura and Sara unwrap some of their presents and see the joy and excitement on Christmas morning. Afterward, we had a delicious breakfast consiting of french toast with homemade buttermilk syrup (yum yum!) sausage, and orange juice. We had a delightful time.

On Christmas eve, Todd, Tyler, Rylie and Taryn spent time with us and had fun sleeping over night and spending the remainder of Christmas day with us. We watched the classic movie, "It's a Wonderful Life," and on Christmas day we all watched "The Christmas Story" which still makes me laugh...what a great movie!


One of the highlights of the day was when Todd hooked up the big screen downstairs with "Rock Band" & Dan & I listened to an amazing concert complete with Rylie as the lead singer, Todd and Taryn on guitars and Tyler playing drums! Actually, we helped with some singing too and we sounded semi professional! Ah, well ya know....we tried! Bret also got the same "Rock Band" game and when they came they were already warmed up and they had a great time continuing the concert!



I cooked a bone in ham that took 5 hours to bake and our home smelled like the Christmas's I remember as a child. We had foods of every kind and enjoyed every bite with Todd & Bret and his family.

What a grand time we had together! This was a really good Christmas for everyone this year....check out Jason & Melinda's blog and Bob & Keri's blog. Good times
