Christmas 2008

We enjoyed a fun, family-filled, and fairly relaxing Christmas this year. We got our tree the first Sunday in December. It is a fairly small blue spruce...and it is really pretty (if I do say so myself!). We decorated it that week as well.

Ben is in charge of the lights.

Sadie was not very impressed by the tree.

Ben put on a few ornaments...this one is his favorite.

Our cute tree

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve we went to our friends house for some gingerbread house making and an early dinner. We had so much fun! The boys really got into it and everyone was so creative!

These are all the complete houses

Ben made this house...it is a small-scale model of our house!

I went with a pink theme this year!

The whole gang (minus my mom since she took the picture)

After dinner we opened presents, then we headed to the Buckley's for a get together.

Ben decided to sport a mohawk for Christmas this year

Christmas day after we opened presents at our house we went to my parents' house to hang out and open presents with them.

The pups started off the present excitement

Later that night we went to my Aunt Marsha's to celebrate with the fam. Then on Saturday we celebrated with the Webster family. We enjoyed a brunch then we chilled for the afternoon. Brennan had to go to a house fire, but he made it back right after dinner. Then we opened presents.

Again the pups started it off (Yes, Sadie is VERY spoiled!!)

We also got her a big maple leaf bowl.

Our friends Matt and Ashley came up on New Years Eve and stayed through the weekend. We loved having them here and are so excited for their wedding in July!!!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!
