Happy Anniversary Marty and Jamie 21 years and going strong!!!

Christmas Morning 2010

Well Santa Clause came and and the kids were up at 6:00 excited to see what he brought. It was actually 5am but they told a fib so they could get up earlier. Naughty Naughty

Marty got an ipad and I got new dishes and pots and pans.

Bentley goes crazy when we are opening presents and just has to join in.

Amber and Lacey each got an ipod touch Larissa got a new camera and Jo got an alarm clock that charges her ipod and some boots.

We opened presents. Laughed a lot and then went back to bed. Amber and James made bacon eggs and pancakes for everyone and we had the best lazy day ever!!!

Christmas Eve 2010

After dinner we opened our traditional Christmas Eve gift.

The snow fight

After bowling we had a big snow fight!! It was so funny!!

Marty got even and dumped everyone in the snow!!

We had so much fun!!!

Glow Bowling on Christmas Eve

We went to Keokuk to go Glow Bowling for Christmas Eve.

We had a snow storm so the roads were pretty bad but we drove slow and made it just fine The lights were out the smoke machine was going, the lights were flashing and the music was loud

Then we started bowling!! It was a lot of fun!!

Marty and Jo had a bet at the end. Whoever lost had to do each others chores for a whole month. Jo is an excellent bowler and Marty isn't....no offence Marty. Marty surprised everyone by almost beating her. She was actually worried.

He didn't win. Poor Marty.

Christmas Card 2010

Here is our Family Christmas card!! We hope your 2010 year was the best ever and that the new year will bring you more joy and happiness than you could ever expect! Thank you for sharing this year with our family. I love blogging and reading other family blogs because it gives insight to what life is like in different families and it helps us stay connected with those we love who live far away. The world is getting smaller and we are all discovering how similar families are all over the world. Life is good.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and PEACE ON EARTH. GOD BLESS US EVERYONE!!!!
