Christmas Day 2009 was sunny, cold and lots of fun with family visitors dropping in for the ham buffet and the exciting sharing of gifts (thoughtful, humorous, beautifully wrapped, etc.), a treasure hunt, a special video chat with the Hillsboro Barkers (thanks for the tickets to see the Chinese performers!), the new Star Trek movie, Yahtzee, more food, and best wishes all around. Dad captured some of the emotions of the day on film and we’ll remember how wonderful it was to share time-honored traditions with the people we love. Thanks to all for all the toys and goodies!
Santa's Been!
Shiny red presents for Mom.
Yes, he's been a good boy!
Geo Swag and a planter from the Hardys!
A new CD..."Christmas with the Rat Pack!"
Personalized ornament..."The Hardy Boys, Butters & Moochie" with their little whiskered mugs.
If only it were real.
We got a beautiful brown woven basket, DVD of last year's Tabs' Christmas Concert, handmade greeting cards, mint/chocolate malt balls, and the Sierra Club calendar for Dad's office and a clever C3PO thumb drive from Autumn.
Personalized ornament..."Best Friends, Maki & Kaya" with their charming, happy little faces.
Autumn's phish gift...Trey...from the Hillsboro Barkers. Very creative and well done.
A big basket full of goodies from the Stansbury Barkers, including homemade applesauce, homemade scented soaps, a darling photo of Brie & Colby in the canyon, and a really cute M&M Nutcracker who dispenses dark chocolate candies.
Brielle was sooooo excited for me to open this gift. She kept saying "I won't tell you what it is!" as if she were trying to convince herself. And somehow she kept it in, but bursting when I finally discovered the surprise! Oh, the joys of Christmas.
A traditional fish ornament.
Green Bay Packers Mr. Potato Head.
Personalized snowman family ornament for Donette.
New clothes for Brie.
A Princess "Look & See" Book for Brie.
Craft projects using rocks.
Colby in his new Thomas the Train shirt.
Getting interested in his new Disney Book.
Confronting a dinosaur.
Leslie & David & Hannah Montana stickers.
The feast!!
The treasure hunt!
The hawk watches the celebrating/overindulgence.
Till we meet again.
