Christmas

Drew's family came to our house Christmas Eve. We had cider and dessert while the kids opened some little treat bags from Grandma and Grandpa Belnap.

cousin Ashlyn and Kaley listening to Drew telling the story of Christ's birth

This is what the tree (and house) looked like Christmas Eve.
Christmas morning ... the girls got what they wanted most

Kaley asked about 5 different Santas for this gift ... good thing all of them listened

My family joined us later that day around 3/4 pm. EVERYONE came- except for Heidi & Donnie (who were back in London) and Bryan & Jean (who were with her fam in Putah). Oh, we missed Uncle Buddy too. So I guess we didn't have quite everyone here, but we sure came close! Even great-grandma Vicky lasted until mom and dad left at about 9:30 pm. Uncle Time and Aunt Laurie drove in from Az and brought Hannah Montana wigs and guitars for the girls. I'll post pics of the girls mastering the guitars soon. I have just a few pics from my family party Christmas day. As you can see below, the pics once again aren't impressive. I'm counting down the days until all of Drew's paper work is in for moon lighting. First thing to buy with all our dough when it rolls in: a new CAMERA!!!!!!!!
