Treasure Each Day...: CHRISTMAS DAY!

Each year we put up 2 trees. We have a "formal, fancy" tree in the living room but this

tree is my favorite. It is filled with ornaments that each carry a special memory.

The santa ornament near the top I actually made when I was maybe 5 or 6 with a friend of my grandma's! Chris and I have ornaments and the kids have many they'll be able to put on their own trees someday.

Despite a late night on Christmas Eve, the kids were ready for more presents.

These presents on the fireplace weren't there before we went to bed!

Santa definitely stopped at our house!

We are just so thankful Shannon was making a quick recovery after her stay in the hospital!

Shannon got a Club Penguin game for her DS.

Caitlin loved her new Tinkerbell and Rosetta dolls.

The only thing Logan asked Santa for was the Madden 10 game for Wii.

Santa was worried it would be too difficult for Logan but brought it anyway.

Logan was so happy and it isn't too hard! He loves it!!!

And of course, Hercules got presents too!

He liked stealing the scraps of paper and bows more then he liked his presents!

After we opened our presents at home, it was time to go to Grammy's for brunch and more presents. We took this great group shot of almost all of the grandkids. Unfortunately, my niece Sarah, her husband Chad and the twins, Aaden and Connor couldn't be here this year.

Logan had lots of fun playing with his cousin Adam.
This is one of my favorite pictures from the holidays!

When we were in Eagle River last summer the weather was pretty crummy.

One night we had a Wii homerun Derby.

Of course, Logan won (maybe we let him a little)

We decided to get Uncle Jerry his own Wii so he can practice this winter and

be ready for next summer's homerun derby!

Caitlin, Kennedy, and Shannon are all smiles in front of the mound of presents at Grammy's house. The kids definitely got way too many presents as usual :)
