Christmas '09

This year we celebrated Christmas with my family early in the month and then at home on Christmas Eve and then w/ Rob's family on Christmas day at their new home in the "country"!
Here are a few pics we took during each chaotic gift time....sorry, we aren't very good photographers!

CHRISTMAS AT NANA & POP's

Asher opening Pop's gift to him...his first glove and ball!

Joel closely inspecting his new Toy Story figures.

Asher not sure what to think.

"What is that beautiful thing?"

Sam and the ever-popular Playmobil knight set! Yay!

And yet another playmobil set...a nativity!

Sam is really checking it out.

Opening their special gift from Nana and Pop...

one in the a.m. and one in the p.m.!
