Well Christmas 2009 has come and gone. And it was a great one.
It starts with Aron cooking a new recipe from his lap top.
Ahhh technology. And thank goodness for the new
counter.

This is future mom,dad and PopPop. Amber is showing the sonogram of our future
great niece/nephew sometime next summer. They are so happy
and excited. We all are!

Most of the family was all here. We missed Mom, Lacy, Jason, Danielle, Mom Betty,
Phil, Vickie, Seppi, Anna and the Macklins. Jake came later.
Still a big group.
Brothers, sisters, moms, dads, sons, daughters, cousins, wives of all ages

Let the game begin!!! This year I got smart. I found a roll of tickets from who know when and used those. The only problem was that the numbers were soooo small to read.

Good friends came by later.

More came.......A long standing tradition on Christmas eve (Wayne stopping by)
he usally comes around 2-3 . He was running later this year and brought a couple extras.
The more the Merrier.

Finally things quieted down and the children were all nestled in their beds.
Santa came, sat down, unwound and listened to the beautiful Christmas music on tv
by the Christmas tree. Feeling peace, love, remembering the reason and those in heaven with Jesus.


Some how I lost the picture of our white Christmas. But we did have it on the ground still. Any how, Kyle never found his childhood stocking, he had won I bought the first Christmas we were married. His old one was just like the Bell kids. One year we were in a local antique store and saw 2 of the same stocking but didnot want to pay the price. But this year I went back and it was still there so I got it for him. He was very happy. Now our stocking wall looks complete.
The kids also gave him what he really wanted. A toy that down loads all our old albums to the computer so we can load them on CD's. Way to go kids! He loved it!! Look for it on ebay after he gets all the albums done, tee hee

Christmas eggnog at Grandma's. What fun that was. A warm rainy day with lots of love.

Can you find the tree???

Delaware Bell girls.

Rocco catching the ball. Nice shot Aron.
We hope you all had a great Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year!!
I cannot believe it is 2010 already.
Where are the self pack space jets from the Jetsons????
