Christmas Past!

Christmas has come and gone yet our tree still stands! I was really disappointed this year that the holidays started passing us by as we sat home sick. We missed a Christmas play in the tower, Steve's Christmas Party (it would have been our 9th one together), Tjerrild family Christmas gathering, Carson's playgroup gift exchange, Christmas Eve with Steve's parents and having Devin (because he was sick) for Christmas this year. We did fortunately feel better for Christmas day and welcomed many guests into our home. Dad and Debbie arrived with Christmas dinner while my Mom, Paul, Paul's daughter Jennifer, her fiance Carl, and my brother Stephen all sat down to enjoy the ham and other delicious holiday favorites. Yes, we had 9 people around our table for Christmas Dinner!!!


We were later joined by Steve's parents, Gregg and Grace. Then to top off the evening, the whole Delton family graced us with their presents!! (I mean presence!!) We had a house full!!


I can't forget to mention what Santa brought each of us!!.... Carson strolled downstairs to find a slide that Santa had built just for him. Santa brought Steve a brand new Xbox 360 with wireless Internet so he can play against Stephen in Oakdale!! And Santa brought me a new Canon Rebel Xsi camera AND a Sony HD camcorder!! Woooo Hoooo!!!

Steve, Dad and Stephen gave each other little remote control helicopters that they literally flew into the night!!
And Uncle Stephen made Carson an amazing train table to fit on our coffee table.

Many other gifts were exchanged and enjoyed by all!!
