Christmas Memories 2008
We always end up having multiple Christmas festivities to either attend or host. This year there was no different.
We were suppose to go up north to celebrate Christmas with my Dad's side of the family, but unfortunately Emily wasn't feeling well. She threw up the morning that we were suppose to go. I was really bummed. I do try to see my Dad and Grandma on a regular basis, but don't tend to see my extended family beyond Christmas, weddings, and funerals. So I knew that we would probably not have an opportunity to see them again until next Christmas. We missed last year because of our Cruise vacation, so that made it that much more disappointing for me. Hopefully, this will be the last time something like this happens.
We celebrated with Ken's family on Christmas Day at our house. We kept the food simple, mostly finger foods. We played Rockband, ate, and enjoyed each others company. It was nice and relaxing! Of course the kids got spoiled, as usual, with more presents than they needed!
Ken, Gram, and Dad
Our Family - the best of the bunch since Emily didn't want to cooperate!

We hosted my Mom's side of the family at our house, and it was memorable to say the least as we didn't have any power that day. It was cold and we had to light the burners of the stove to heat up the food. We made the best of the situation and didn't let it stop us from catching up and enjoying each others company. My Aunt Sheila was here from California visiting and I can only imagine how cold it felt to her! Unfortunately, I didn't end up taking a lot of photos. We had to quickly eat, open gifts, etc... before the sun went down and we didn't have any light.
Some photos of Zoe, my niece, enjoying her first Christmas. She took a lot of interest in her presents. She was warming up for her first birthday in a few short days!
A few shots of the girls showing off their goods! Despite all the gifts they received, surprisingly enough neither of them received any duplicate items.
Another successful holiday season comes to an end! Hope yours was as blessed as ours!
