The Holidays 2010

First it has to be said, we are so fortunate to have so much family surrounding us.  We had such a wonderful Christmas weekend, we were able to visit, eat delicious food, and relax.  What more can one really ask for?  On Christmas Eve we headed up to Cambridge to see Dean, Ronda, Nick, Adam, and Great Gramma Audrey.  Dennis, Joanna, and Alyssa joined us as well.  Bronson and Toby played outside, which came in handy on Christmas day!


Miles spent a little time outside as well....


With his daddy.....


Grampa Dean drove the kids around on a sled behind his tractor.....


Miles and Dylan got a turn too and Bronson followed the whole way!


Miles played a little guitar with Uncle Dennis....


and decided it would be a good idea to put a basketball box over his head....oh the things he comes up with!


Playing with Aunt Joanna and his new basketball....


Christmas morning.... Santa brought Miles this little blue chair....and lots of other stuff....


Bronson loves his new toy that Vinnie and Melissa sent... can't wait to bring it to the lake this summer...


In the afternoon Jamie, Jerritt, and my parents came.  Jamie and I were very excited to get our "granny forks".  My mom has had one for years, it is possible that they are known by another name, but we have always called them granny forks.  They have wooden handles and very thin tines.  Perfect for poking potatoes, rotating hot dogs (Jamie's favorite use), and many other things.  You can only find them in antique shops now, as far as we know.  I have already used mine a couple of times!


Here's Mooma playing Santa, she is always so wonderfully meticulous when she passes out gifts on Christmas day.  


Awww, good picture........


See the tv in the background, that was our big gift from my parents and Dylan's mom and step-dad, a 46 inch flat screen.  We were speechless when they gave it to us!


Aunt Jamie got Miles this little recliner, it is the perfect size for him.....


And for Mooma.....


Uncle Dennis, Aunt Joanna, and Alyssa got Miles this little tent for Christmas, he LOVES it!  



He was having such a good time in it Christmas day.....


so was Mooma.....


On Sunday we went up to Alburgh to celebrate Christmas with everyone up there.  We had a lot of fun.  I rented some Wii games from blockbuster that were a bit of a hit.  Here are Martha, Libby, Steve (Libby's boyfriend) and Asa.  


Robert was excited to get his floor mats.....


Great Grampa Russell was there too, Miles was having a lot of fun playing with him!


That was our whirlwind Christmas weekend.  We had such a great time, Miles was such a trooper through it all.  It was so nice to see everyone, it was so nice to be able to spend some quality time with everyone.  We hope that you all had a wonderful Holiday season.  Happy New Year!!!
