Christmas Season 2010

Each year we go to the same Christmas Tree Farm. As much as the location has become a tradition, we look forward to the comment by the older gentleman who runs it. He sees Caylin and says, "Red hair...I used to have red hair like that when I was younger."



No brown paper packages this year - we went for coordinating Hallmark wrap!

We enjoyed spending time with Kyle and Justine, who were home from the military.


Baking...

...too many things all at once!

A quiet Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Waite's - just 6 of us.
Grandma made oyster stew, Megan made chicken noodle soup and learned how to do the homemade noodles by herself this year, Caylin made potato chowder.


Christmas Eve jammies.

Christmas morning surprises.
I was pleased to find that my girls aren't too big for teddy bears!


Caylin's last big surprise - her own desk!

Fun new look for the girl's bathroom.


Yummy Christmas feast!

Spencer and Nicole and boys were here for dinner and Kyle and Justine spent most of the day with us - it was a wonderful day. We missed Ryan and Ashlynn, but were glad to know they were having a great time with Ashlynn's family in Utah.

What fun pictures! You have a neat family. Don't you just love having your whole family together during the holidays? My sister and her husband came up on the 21st and are leaving the end of this week. It's been fun having them here.

I love your Christmas tree, it's very pretty. It's nice when there's a tree farm that has nice trees. When my family lived up in Marysville, we could hardly find a good looking one. Sometimes even, we would go to several farms. Now we go to one up in Woodinville that has tons of great trees.
