Christmas Day 2009 for real

This is a long post, sorry ;o) On Christmas Eve we had to pull the dogs presents out of the car so we could put in some Tea-rings we had to deliver...There was no hiding them...they seemed to know as soon as I came in the door. I hardly had a chance to put them down before they were on them ...crazy dogs!!Yep still on them....
Christmas day....Tatem and the III opening presents from Aunt Tabitha

A book!!! Yahoo the Lorax!!!

Me opening presents from Tabitha and The Spratts

A book I can use!!! Ha,ha,ha!

Ok I asked Tabitha for a certain book...she went on line to order it and then it said other books ordered by people who ordered this book, so she said why not and ordered them all. It is an interesting bunch ;o) Thanks Tab!!

Harry Potter movies from the Spratts

And books too!!! Look at that big hug!! That means finally I can have my books and movies at my house so I can read or watch them when I want. Thought by both me and the Spratts ;o)

Thanks Spratts

Book Update

Hello all of those who don't read this blog....anyone really out there????

Ok here is the book update....I finished Have a little Faith a while ago...it was a good book, had a lot of good things in there that everyone should know. It is by Mitch Albom and it is a true story. Very well written. Thanks for the book Tab ;o)

Still reading Work and Glory # 7...Will be done this weekend and onto #8!!! People at work think I'm crazy for reading 9 Volumes of 600-700+ pages ;o)

Christmas 2009 # 2 Sturges and Sturges

Well here is our second Christmas for reasons we won't mention here ;o). Just kidding checking to see if you really read what I write....They went to Hollie's family this year. So the day after Christmas we went to TJ and Hollie's and had a yummy dinner....which we did not take any pictures of. So here is Hollie opening her presents... Poor TJ...I went with what the kids always want one or two big presents this year so TJ didn't have much to open...Here he is looking on.

Oh Look Hollie got a sweatshirt that she picked out last June...but forgot about...maybe?

Ethan with a beanbag...not on his list but much needed.

Ha,ha,ha....Hollie got a mixer!!!

Caleb got dumbo....I was looking for Mike from Monsters Inc...but could not find one so he ended up with Dumbo!!

What TJ got a present...yep he got a mug....Thanks TB and John for picking it up for us ;o)

Ethan and Caleb got the movie The Grinch who stoled Christmas. Yep the day after Christmas...but that didn't bother them.

TJ finally gets his big present...now keep in mind this was not on his list...he had said something last year and then a couple of times when Tim and him were out walking but nothing really serious ;o)

Who knows what Caleb got...wrapping paper...Ethan got a mug just like daddy's

Still unwrapping...

A new coat!!! Fun~! Now he can wear it to work and church! And he would be really warm if he would wear a scarf with it.

Terriebeth and Tabitha does this bring back some memories???

I think they watched the two of you and made a plan ;o)

Almost done ;o)

After presents we had to have the chocolate fountain of course...can't believe how much we all have missed it. Don't know if everyone would fess up to missing it but they sure had fun with it.

Dying to dig in....Ha,ha,ha! Do we have to wait for anything else...reminds me of another little someone on Christmas day...watch for it in another post.

Even Grandpa had to have some of this good stuff.

Yep I think Ethan was happy, can you tell?

Caleb is to bust to look at the camera...you got marshmallow and chocolate what more can you ask for ;o)

Every one dipping in

Look quick it won't last long...He is actually looking at the camera just not mine

The Big E

Who needs sticks we saw someone else do this in some pictures so we will do it also.

Ok my camera had been weird but I was able to get these next to video's. I haven't even watched them yet so who knows how they are....the story behind it was we still had a little money for Caleb and we walk around the corner and here is this great display of this fun toy that both Tim and I thought was perfect!!!
