Christmas Eve

We were able to spend Christmas Eve with Grandma Cora. We had an excellent ham dinner and then read the Christmas story from the Bible. Afterward, we watched Mr. Krueger's Christmas. A good time was had by all!

Christmas Morning

Here is our tree with all the gifts! Santa was generous!!

Will opened his first present...a ball!

He's got an arm! He's a lefty too!

Blair opening his Brad Paisley CD.

Will loved the treats in his stocking.

He couldn't wait to try out the granola bar in the stocking.

Blair with his new fly rod case. The excitement is evident.

Mr. Potato Head!

Blair printed off all the emails we wrote to each other

while dating, engaged and married. He bound them in a book.

How thoughtful! I loved it.

A rocket ship tent...from Grandma JoLynn.

New ice fishing pole. Really? Is it that exciting???

New clothes

G & G Newbold's House

We went over to Blair's parents house for a delicious breakfast of sausage egg Mcmuffins. Blair wolfed them down...it's what he looks forward to most about Christmas. :) Then we opened presents.

Will loved opening his big present from Grandma and Grandpa.

Wow! A "Whizz around garage"!

The yearly competition. Who can grow the best

facial hair for Christmas. I'll never understand this tradition.

Here Comes Santa....RUN!!!!

So, Will isn't big on Santa this year. He loves the lights and trees and presents, constantly exclaiming "Oh wow!" whenever he sees them. However, Santa frankly scares him to death. Thus, all of our Santa pictures are a bit fuzzy because Will is trying desperately to get as far away from Santa as possible. Sorry! Better luck next year...we hope.

I don't know about this guy...looks kinda shady.

That's right Mr., keep your distance.

Me trying to ease him into Santa's lap.

Oh boy, get me out of here!

Will has an eye for decorating.

"Okay Mom. I'm done. D.O.N.E.!"
