Christmas: rounds two, three, four (five i failed at being a photographer)

Christmas this year came in stages:  One, being at Momma and Daddy's with Regina and her kids (see previous blog), two being our family Christmas, Three being at Nonna and Poppa's with them, Bit, Lyssa, Val and her family, And Grandma and Grandpa.  Don't forget Christmas eve cookies, Church etc!!!!

We did Christmas cookies on Christmas Eve, it was a blast with the boys as usual... imagine kiddos with color-staining dye mixed with icing and cookies..... so... sugar, sugar, sugar and some sugar on top! 

Next comes some pics of us all dressed up!

Christmas at MawMaw's house was a bit sad.  As you know, my grandmother passed away Feb. 13, 2009, and this was the first Christmas without her and PawPaw didn't come out of the nursing home for Christmas either so it was kind of sad on that part.  But this is also the last one in that house.... they are selling the house after the new year.  I will miss that house but the memories will live on.  We had a good time one last time.  Next year things will be different.  We miss you MawMaw!
