Christmas In the Country

Sunday, January 3, 2010, AJ and ME traveled

north about 45 miles into the Country to

celebrate Christmas with our 2 Boys and

their Families.

We first ate lunch.

Julie had made a big pot of

chicken & noodles,

I brought a platter of fried chicken livers,

Jen brought loaves of gourmet breads

and Danishes, and Carolyn made brownies.

Lunch was wonderful!

We then all settled into the living room around

the Christmas Tree for Gift Opening.

Grampy (AJ) is helping Ryan with a gift.
Carolyn is opening a stack! of gifts
.
Madison helped with Kaden throught out the day.

Kaden has to make sure Aunt Jen is

in sight at all times!

Ryan got a stack of gifts also. The 3 gifts were

all clothing.....

so Ryan says,

"NO toys?, I'll just play with the hangers!"

Love the hat Madison.

Jen got Julie a very trendy picture frame

and wire topper.

This will look nice in Julie's new home.

Jen got a Gift Card, from Carolyn,

to her favorite Home Furnishing Boutique,

"The Market".

Alisha was happy with Julie's gift to her,

an OSU Sweatshirt.

"Go Cowboys"

A "Brandy Angel" for Julie to add to her

collection.

"Madison, I'll make your aching back feel better!"

And the Gift Opening went on and on.....

and on and on!

Aunt Julie's, Uncle Wade's and Ryan's

gift really got Madison's attention.

Madison loves books, so this hit the spot.

"Push here Ryan and this will make a noise

that will drive Mom and Dad crazy!"

More clothes, boring for Ryan but

fun for Mom.

Girly-Girly Perfume.

Did I says boring clothes?

PJ bottoms on the head!

Ryan has a great idea for this jumbo bag Uncle Paul.

Can you find Ryan?

At the end of the afternoon we all felt like this,

but Kaden was the only one that had the

good sense to do it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
