Our Christmas 2010

We had a bunch of fun filled days for Christmas this year. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday.
The festivities started off on Thursday night at Ron's dad's house. He made us a wonderful prime rib dinner with all the fixings, including my favorite fingerling potatoes. Yummy! He continued by giving us all very nice gifts. He told us of the story of giving all the kids an ornament every year and wished that we would all start the tradition. To start, he gave all the grandkids an ornament. We are lucky to have already started this tradition and will add the ornaments to the kids collection.
Ron's brother, Jared, also has a set of twins. They are just like our babies, fraternal and very different. We were happy to get a picture of the twins holding the twins. Also, Aubrey and Lucas matched like they were going to get their pictures taken. So we took a picture.
We spent Christmas Eve with my family at my parents house. We had appetizers for dinner. I dare say that there was more food than we would have even had for a regular dinner. It was delicious! We exchanged gifts and hung out. It was so nice that everyone could get together. What a fun evening.
Christmas morning brought some fun gifts from Santa. Lucas enjoyed playing with all of his fun toys and taking pictures and video with his new camera. The girls enjoyed hanging out and looking at all the new toys.
That evening we went to Ron's brother's house for Christmas with the Campbell family. We had our 2nd prime rib dinner. We enjoyed hanging out and exchanging gifts with his family. Ron was so surprised that his Mom got him a Popcorn Hour for Christmas. I think he almost peed his pants. ;)

Sorry for my lack of pictures. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed myself, I just wasn't feeling all that well during all the festivities. I had just undergone surgery on Tuesday and just wasn't feeling 100%. The pain pills were making me very nauseous. If I didn't take the pain pills, then the pain was bothering me. It was definitely a double edged sword. Thankfully Ron was wonderful through all this and took care of the kids and did all kinds of extra stuff to help out.
