The Lees: December 2010

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

Carl really enjoys the kids!

Carl enjoyed holding Eva's baby, Elizabeth, and Becca had to be in the shot! Cute!

I have become a little crazy about decorating these last few years! I found several rolls of the same paper design and got a giant spool of ribbon from Costco and wrapped everything in the same way! I even found reindeer gift tags! If you didn't know, I love reindeer! My tree was mostly reindeer ornaments and my decorations are mostly reindeer as well. I'm always on the lookout for another reindeer! By the way, our tree is a real tree - no artificial one for us!

Our Kids at Christmas 2010

Well we had 5 out of 6 home for Christmas this year! Pretty handsome looking bunch if I say so myself! Ben and Shanae had a very good reason for missing this Christmas with us. They were expecting baby number 2 on the 27th! No traveling for them this year.

Christmas Day at our House!

Here are a few of the pictures from Christmas at our house. We kind of had Christmas in shifts throughout the day. Hannah wanted to come over early to open gifts - they never outgrow that early morning thing! We picked she and Sarah up about 10 and Erin and Tony and Liam arrived shortly after. Doug arrived after he worked the morning shift at the Lake. We opened gifts with them. How fun! We have kept our tradition of having Christmas Brunch with Kent and Jeanne and family. It was great! I made my breakfast casseroles - a ham one, a sausage one and a meat free one. Jeanne brought her famous cinnamon rolls and they disappeared quickly! We enjoy visiting and eating together on this special day! Eva came over with some of her kids to share with us as well. Paul stayed home with a couple of sick ones. It was wonderful to have the little ones around.

Debra's Birthday

I am one of those lucky people who has a birthday in December! We celebrated on Sunday after my actual birthday because I was sick on my birthday:( I just stayed home and piddled around since it was my first day out for the holiday break! Sarah made me this lovely lavender tiered cinnamon cake for my birthday! It was delicious! Liam helped me blow out the candles!
