Celebrating Christmas 2009

Celebrating the holiday begins early for Jessie and Carson. Visiting Santa and getting FREE books from Borders was a highlight of the annual Children's Mercy Hospital Party held Dec. 13!

The only thing different this year from the last 14 was the toupee on the magician's head.

Decorating the Christmas tree was made a lot easier with the help of Brad, Jessie and Carson. The 9 foot tree proved to be much easier to set up than past trees with the branches attached. This feature made Brad very happy and worth the trip to the Christmas Warehouse store to purchase the tree.

Spending Christmas Eve at Grandma's and Grandpa's is a tradition. My sisters--Tanya, Kim and families and brother-Greg- and family joined the celebration. Tori, Greg's wife, is expecting baby girl #3 is March and made the trip anyway.
Brad worked late and joined us for a late dinner at 7:30 PM! The ice and snow falling made for a long drive home.

All the snow KC received during the holidays made for a fun and beautiful season. We were lucky not to have to be anywhere. We mostly stayed inside playing games and eating. For 2 Sundays, our church was canceled due to the weather. That just MIGHT be a record for our area.
