Ben's parents went to Los Angeles for Christmas to visit Ben's sister Ellie and her husband Noah. So we didn't celebrate with Ben's family until December 30th. His brother and sister and families came in town from Baltimore and Atlanta and we opened presents late at night since we couldn't wait until the next day to do it! We didn't have our presents to everyone over there since we were planning on opening the next day, so we still opened a few presents on the 31st as well. Why not spread Christmas out as long as possible, right?
I didn't get very many pictures since I forgot my camera, but a did get a few on my new iphone (thanks, Carl and Deena!).
My mother-in-law Deena looked very stylish in the leopard-print Snuggie we got her! Ben's sister Emma is in the background, showing us all up by doing the dishes after our fabulous turkey-mashed potatoes-mashed sweet potatoes-corn pudding-carrots-dressing-green beans-rolls-and-sweet tea-lunch made by Deena! My mouth is watering just thinking about how good it was!!
Ben's nephew Quint looks so much like Ben!
Ben's brother Carl opening a little present...I already forget what that one was!
My father-in-law Carl opening the present we got him (a photobook from our traveling with him in Europe this summer).
Our niece Reagan playing with some new toys with her daddy and CH.
Among the best gifts- iphones for me and Ben, luggage for Emma and Shanon, luggage for Carl and Lindsay, and for the whole family- one share in a syndicate for a thoroughbred fillie, as yet unnamed!!! That's right, we have one share of a race horse! What fun it will be to see what she is named, to follow her progress on the internet, and hopefully get to see her race someday! Awesome present- we all LOVED it!
