Joys of Christmas

For our friends and family, the tale of our Christmas celebrations in video and photos...

A brief clip of the children singing at the Christmas pageant...
can you pick out the dynamic duo?

Dinner after the Christmas Eve service with our friends the Woodburns and Shaws.(The best part...no cooking or clean-up!)


Preparing for Christmas day...working on the dressing with Nanny on Christmas Eve...

Making coffee for her family on Christmas morning...



Excitement!



The gifts...how grateful we are!





Even Charlie Brown was included...some treats and a harness for "walking."
Not so much. LOL!





Remembering Riley...



The dinner prep and YUM.







Merry Christmas, everyone!


And to a year of peace and happiness in 2010!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful day.
