Christmas Day 2009

The Front Living Room tree ..

This year santa put everything in one box for each kid.

even the stockings are in there too !

Baby found her stocking ....

Sarah and her enormous box...

Bryan & Alan and their boxes...

All of them trying to figure out why everything was

in one big box.....

This year I decided to put everything in one big box for each of the kids ... that way there was mystery to what they got ... It was kinda like the " mystery boxes" on Farmville (facebook).

This year their lists were alot shorter than they have been in the past.. which was GREAT ! They all asked for games for the playstation 3 and some for the PSP and DS... Everyone was pretty excited that they got what they asked for and some little extras...

It was a weird year for me at Christmas.. I got Pneumonia so, it slowed me down alot. I managed to put the lights on the house (before I got sick) but I didn't get the reindeers and the sleigh out or any lights for the bushes and flowerbeds.. I did however bake cookies cause it just wouldn't be christmas without the iced sugar cookies , chocolate crackles and peanut butter ones !

Thanksgiving at our house ...

Babies tire you out ! Aunt Lisa & Abigail

This year we had Thanksgiving at our place. We had the family over , we got to eat lots of turkey and ham and we all played with the new baby ! We had Mom & Dad Ringel , Lisa and Morgan , and Brady & Cassie with cute Abigail... later Steph & Dustin came over with the boys and we had Kringel's and LOTS of pies ! we played Farkel and we also played Pirates of the Caribean Life... It was alot of fun !
