Christmas Celebrations

We were able to celebrate Christmas early with my family in their various sorts for 2008. We went to Nana's before Christmas and Grandpa's as well. The kids love playing with their young aunt & uncle and cousins. We love all of the Christmas trees at Nana's. It really feels like Christmas there.
Grandpa always has great yard decorations at Christmas.




Christmas EVE...

Santa came early to our house, we saw his sleigh flying away toward the airport as we were driving home on Christmas Eve evening. We were so lucky that he knew we would be leaving to Gammy and Grandpa's, he decided to make our house his first stop. That Santa, isn't he the best!











Once we opened our Christmas surprises, we headed to the Gammy and Grandpa's just in time to miss the storm.

We stayed in a hotel on the way. The poor hotel worker, welcoming us in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve. And he diligently provided continental breakfast for us on CHRISTMAS MORNING. After a horrible night's sleep, we continued onto our destination surprising the family with our unexpected early arrival.










We had a wonderful time with our family. The kids loved seeing their aunts and uncles and Gammy & Grandpa. It is always wonderful to spend time at the ranch. We just relaxed and played the whole time. It is a little heaven on earth.











One of the definite highlights was playing ON the pond, it was solid ice! Where's the ice skates when we need them?
