Christmas Morning!

I don't have to many pictures from Christmas morning- but I will explain why in a little bit!

We had such a great Christmas! We all went to Midnight Mass (Mary did great!) and came home to wait for Santa Claus!! (Richard and I had to wake Mary up!)

Our tree Christmas morning! (The cards on the tree was a tradition in Richard's family and now we buy cards for each other and put them on the tree too!)

Sleepy little girl opening presents!

"Bubby" and his presents!

So- the reason I didn't take to many pictures:

Richard bought me a Nikon D60 Gold Edition camera!! After sending me on a scavanger hunt for it, I found the camera and ALL the accessories I will need for it individually wrapped in the ottoman!! I was not expecting it at all!

(I know it seems like getting a camera for Christmas should mean I took a ton of pictures, but I didn't format the disc when I first put it in my new camera, so when I DID format it, all my pictures were erased! Oops!!

A few more from the Holidays!!

While Daddy was putting the lights on our Christmas tree, Mary and Mommy made Christmas sugar cookies!!!

Later, we made Gingerbread Men!!

**Added Bonus! (And a little late!)**

The weekend before Thanksgiving, we decided to have our own Thanksgiving dinner here! It was a typical Thanksgiving dinner except ham instead of turkey!! Grandmom, my parents, Karen, and Terie all came down to join us!

Aunt KK, Grandaddy and Mary decided to go running before dinner!!

I'm sorry it's been so long!! We've been so busy this holiday season with visiting family and getting settled now that Richard officially recieved his black hat! But here are some pictures of the holiday season so far! Enjoy!
