Our Very Merry Christmas

Thursday, January 6, 2011

Our 2010 Christmas was very merry and bright. We partook in a number of festivities and felt the true spirit of the season. We got the bulk of our gift shopping done early, and I'm glad we did. We started our official celebration of the holiday by decorating our home. We put lights on our house for the first time - Bob's a Christmas light pro. Following my Mom's tradition of giving, we made gifts for our friends and neighbors. Before we left for Lovell, we got to open our great gifts from the Weber's.

We arrived in Lovell on the 23rd at about 4:30 pm. We were welcomed by the entire Matt and Tracy Bassett family - we were all together! We started the party off right with our traditional "service project" and pizza dinner. Christmas Eve and Christmas day were wonderful. Addie was spoiled and happily joined in (with lots of help) the gift opening. We truly enjoyed our time with our family. We put a puzzle together (YAY! - it's been 2 years since we last completed a puzzle), played fun games, played with Addie, and watched a movie. Not to mention all the yummy food and desserts.

Our visit was extended by 2 days because of the winter storm across the state. Therefore, we spent New Year's Eve with our family as well. We celebrated with a visit to the Jodee and Donna Bassett family. It's always fun to see their family and catch up. We also went to dinner. Sadly, the parents didn't make it to midnight - party poopers. We were able to get on the road New Year's day and had 2 days to wind down before getting back into the routine. Thanks to all our families for the fantastic Christmas. We love you!
