Holidays

Pat and I went to Johnson City to Marge and Lee's home for the holidays. My parents came down and Jess & Marc and their girls, Grace & Zoe came too there.

We put out stockings for everyone. Marge & Lee just finished their basement, so there was room for everybody and even a big screen tv and playstation. It was very cozy...but I also got a new pair of very soft socks and very soft sweatpants, so I could be biased.





















There were only two kids there, but somehow Santa still brought quite a full sack full.














Opening the stockings...so much fun!







Brand new beds and blankets for the babydolls were handmade made by my Mom.










The glow of so many presents. Followed quickly by the sugar crash meltdown of all the being presents be opened. Followed by the slow, quiet playing with some of the favorite presents.










Matching nightgowns for Grace and her doll, Chrissa. Grace didn't take off her nightgown for two days, so I think she liked it.

Way after......

We ended up staying an extra day because there was so much snow and ice. Then Mom & Dad came home with us and we exchanged a few more presents....old-school milkshake maker!
