Christmas 2010

Rocco had it all under control.
Christmas Eve Becky and Clay were preparing their dish.
Dogs on hand in case they are needed.

Ava's 1st Christmas so I put some headgear on her.

She did not seem to mind at all.

I have a huge bowl of different headgear for people to put on

if they wish. By the end people were wearing them.

My heart smiled.

This is the family. Minus Pattie and Jake (who were home

with the flu), Anna and Seppi. Guy Jr brought some friends from the

Dover Air Force Base who would have other wise been on base.

I was very glad they came. Not to sure how they felt after all the quizzing

by family. I am not good with names so they were

California -Texas - Washington, to me

After Ava chilled out and giggled on the floor.

She is so cute!

Somehow I missed Santa's arrival this year.

He was very sneaky and tired:)

We have had this cross for years. It is made from the steeple of the church kyle grew up in.

I think his dad made them or bought them for all the boys.

This year he thought to put it on the tree and I knew right where it was.

That is a miracle in its self!

Kyle got his deep fryer and loves it.

He made some delish homemade FF last night.

They were yummy!

Wade found his Droid Pro in his pj pocket.

He is very very very happy!

Becky and Clay wait patiently for Aron

to pass the gifts out.

Aron waiting over Wade's shoulder.

Christmas day we gather a short while at Grandma Bell's

and hang the children's ornaments.

Christmas dinner was quiet. Joyce, Ruthie, Katie and Kevin joined us.

The Macklin's were still ailing.

We had dinner Monday for Pattie and used all the Christmas

dishes and drink with pizza.

Oops. Mom and Kyle were hiding in the dining room.

We had a wonderful Christmas here in Delaware.

I hope you all did too.

It started snowing Christmas night and we ended up with

about 10". Kyle and I road to the beach today and I will post those later.

Happy New year all!!

Oh ...don't forget....Pattie turns 50 on the 4th!
