Christmas 2008

My mom & dad came to visit this Christmas it was crazy busy but very enjoyable. So nice having them here for a change.

It was hard saying goodbye but it's all part of living so far away from them :(

But on a lighter note.....the photos:

Christmas Eve we have lobster, Kristen started this tradition our 2nd Christmas together and so it continues

Enjoying the feast

Then on to Christmas morning

What a mess.....

Boone's new toy....a pheasant which he has already broken the squeaker

Dad & Blaine opening gifts

Me getting ready to cook breakfast....don't even get me started on how awful I look in this photo

Then Christmas lunch. Which Kristen & I hosted this year....yes I served 25 people! Two turkeys, 20 lbs of potatoes....yeah you get the idea.

Thanks to mom and my aunties who helped out :)

And then a photo of my Mom with her brothers & sisters. There's another brother & sister who are still in Nfld and obviously not in the photo

And that was Christmas....tomorrow Boxing Day
