Christmas day 2011… the words that come to mind immediately are laughter & family. I’d been waiting for so long to get a good family “fix.” For example, I hadn’t seen Sarah since our wedding last September! So, being with everyone at Christmas felt like a long drink of cool water. I love my family. I feel so blessed to have such a fun, loving, close extended family.
Enjoy a look into our Christmas day full of games, laughter & even a little dancing.

I’m not sure exactly what Uncle David was doing here, but I’m guessing it has to do with a story… and I found it hilarious

Isn’t my Mom just the cutest?


Aunt Elaine makes me laugh (and Sarah too, apparently)




Ham. I wouldn’t be true to myself if I didn’t have at least ONE food photo on here… haha…
oh, and to the right of the ham, those green beans wrapped in bacon were my favorite part of dinner. Yum!


I love when Grandpa laughs really hard. Oh, and there’s Tanner bringing me some dessert like the loving husband he is![]()






Mom & Dad dancing it up


Daniel is giving Aunt Susie a “You better watch out” look as they start their Spades game


These are some of my favorites from the day![]()


BaSu vs. AnDa… quite a hilarious game!




And I’ll end with the last one of the night when Meghan, Jenna, Josh, Stephen & Daniel started a new game.
More fun game photos coming in tomorrow’s post: Christmas, part 2.
Happy Thursday!
