Christmas 2009

We started the night with a family dinner of ham, potatoes, turkey, stuffing, and all of the trimmings. Then Scott read the traditional "Christmas Story" from Luke.

Traditionally, siblings and cousins open their gifts to each other on Christmas Eve so that the act of gift giving does not get lost in the middle of Santa gifts. This year Lyndsy worked at noon on Christmas day so Brooke, Jack, Lyndsy, and Stephen opened from Scott and I on Christmas Eve also.

The first gifts of the night. Potato Heads for Scott and Ben.

Jack got a Duplo Truck from Ben and Scott.

Brooke was so excited to get a new baby doll and accessories for her.

Amy made an awesome "Welcome" sign for Megan.

Amy's tree ornament this year was none other than the Jonas Brother in a pewter heart.

Brooke got a "Flirty Apron" from her cousins Scotty and Ben. Lyndsy also got a matching one from Ty.

A Flip Video for Lyndsy and Stephen. Meg and Ty got a FlipShare TV (not pictured since we forgot to take pictures on Christmas Day).
