Christmas Day 2008

Aunt Riki gave the kid's duffle bags with the kid's names on them. So Cute! Averie wore hers around for quite a while. She is the bag lady of the house and is always found with a purse, bag, or some sort of ensemble on her person.

We hosted Christmas this year at our house with the Salerno family. We had so much fun with the whole family together. I made prime rib, cranberry jello salad and spinach salad. Riki brought the delicious potatoes and we all enjoyed the feast. As usual, the present opening was the favorite event of the evening.
New scooters, a bike for Natalie, a mini helicopter for Robbie, baby doll crib/stroller/swing set for Averie... So many toys... so blessed are we!



This picture is out of sequence, but it shows all the excited faces as they were preparing to come down stairs to see what Santa had left.... hummmm, have the kids been naughty or nice this year? Will they find coal in their stockings? I have to admit, I found myself using that phrase with a particular male child in our family on more than one occasion. It worked. Behavior improved immensely.


Merry Christmas to everyone. We love sharing our holidays and our lives with all of you!
