Day 351: The most wonderful time of the year!

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Today Nate, Paul, Rick, and Brenda all came over to celebrate Christmas with us.  This is our 10th annual Christmas dinner.  Every year we have a theme for dinner.  Who could forget the "breakfast for dinner" in 2002?  Oh, the sausage!  Or the deep fried goodness of appetizer year?  This year we had Mexican food...a repeat of 2001.  The girls always look forward to seeing Uncle Nate, Mr. Paul, Aunt Brenda, and Uncle Rick.  Ellie has a wee little crush on Mr. Paul.  It is very cute!  You can see in the pictures how happy everyone is.  And I am happy to say that Lia would rather give than receive.  She could not wait to hand out her presents!  Such a fun Christmas celebration!
