We Were on the "Nice" List

Santa Claus has been to town and we HAD to be on the "Nice" List! This was an amazing Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve we spent the evening with Steve's Dad's (Doug) family.

Our first Christmas in our new home, Steve and I were very excited to wake up Christmas morning. My mom and dad came over and watched us open our presents to each other.

Steve bought me new golf shoes, a Titleist hat, Some new sweats and...

A ROOMBA!

Steve checking out his new book. He also got a Wii, a bluetooth and a couple of scarves from me.

Toby wasn't forgotten Christmas morning...Here he is with the new "carrot" my dad bought him.

Later in the day, Steve's Mom, Mark and two of his sisters came over to our house. It's the first year they made the drive our way and we were SO happy to have them

here. It really helped not having to run all over so we truly appreciated them being here.

Early evening Christmas day, we went to my parents house to celebrate with my family. Mom made a super yummy roast and the kids were in perfect form. Patrick told us all about Santa bringing him a bicycle (A "Woody bicycle" if you ask him) and was very excited to open more presents.

Mom and Dad gave P & Eva a play kitchen and OH how they loved it! Watching them play was just enough to make you melt.

My purse was put in an unknown location during that gathering, so I will post pics once I receive them from the other cameras in operation that night.

Really though, we are loved ABUNDANTLY by our families and are so blessed. Thank you to everyone for helping us make this Christmas SO very special. We love you all!!!
