Christmas 2008






We took a family vote and the majority decided to sleep up at grandma's house Christmas Eve and spend Christmas morning up in Winchester.  We went up Christmas Eve and had a great dinner of clam chowder, shrimp, and salmon with coleslaw with plenty of pumpkin and chocolate cream pie.  We then read the Christmas story from the bible and played and sang some Christmas songs and watched "Ana's Bell".  The kids got to open one present, which was new pajamas.  We awoke Christmas morning to fresh snow on the ground!  The kids were so excited because their big gift from Santa was a Razor motorcycle and S got a tricycle.  They couldn't ride it outside because it was too wet, so they were racing it around Grandma's house all day.  They also got a trampoline from Grandma, Brian Regan tickets from Mom for his show in May, calendars, clothes, cardboard blocks from Grandma, and homemade pillowcases from their other Grandma in Price.  Grandma made homemade cinnamon rolls and we had a bounteous feast midday of Prime rib, Ham, and Turkey with mashed potatoes and plenty of pie.  It was a wonderful celebration.
