Christmas Day...

...was picture perfect in so many ways! This Christmas was filled with family fun, snow, cookies, and big surprises (like a beautiful nikon D40 digital camera!!!!). 
From Christmas 08'
The bad news is my Mom wasn't feeling well so I had to keep her from working and that's not easy. Poor Mom! The good news is I didn't ruin Christmas dinner. Natalie made breakfast, an amazing breakfast I might add, and Benj and Emma kept us from eating too much... had to get to those presents.

After we opened our presents I started taking pictures galore... imagine that :) Half of our expected guests were snowed in and couldn't come. But we still got to see my brother Rob, his wife Anne and their son Zane and Anne's parents. We ate, had a gift exchange (Benj quickly became the official gift opener), and sipped lattes while we watched the snow fall.

Little Zane.... pondering how to get around me (I was acting as a stair barrier)

Brother Rob.... umm I'm not even going to try to explain this one.

Anne... always ready to give a smile.

The day ended with lots of snow (this was a first for me!! a real white Christmas.), pictures, and everyone crashed on the couch. The results of a fast, fun, and festive Christmas celebration.

Isn't she though! I think my little niece is pretty cute too. :) Poor thing has the camera in her face most of the time... yes i am enjoying my new camera! Still drooling over it and taking way too many pics of random things. Very fun.

May you and your family have a blessed New Year as well!
