Xmas, Xmas and Xmas Part 2

It's a Christmas miracle! We had pictures scheduled for the morning after Eric's incident, and you can't even see the damage!
All smiles in the xmas pictures.

Christmas morning Santa brought Elena exactly what she wanted, "a green present." Apparently, pausing for pictures before presents is not on the top of Elena's list.
All smiles in the funniest Where's Waldo Christmas pajamas.

Christmas, Christmas and more Christmas! Part 1

For the first time since graduating high school, Eric and I did not have to travel for Christmas. Everyone came to us! First up, my family Christmas of 10. I cooked vegetable lasagna in which Eric says "...is a lot of work for no meat"

We also went out and played in the snow. Luc and Grandpa went for a ridee on the snowmobile.
Audra has the funniest sounding sledding video. Perhaps I will upload it one of these days.
We also learned this year that if Eric is low on food and water and hurts himself he really ought to sit down. After cutting himself with a knife, washing the cut and laughing at my brother for being skemish, Eric passed out on the kitchen floor and split his chin open. This wound, however, required seven stiches. As I told my sister last year or actually I think it was this Thanksgiving...If you haven't been to the ER over a Holiday then you haven't had a holiday.

CH Halloween Party '09

It was a bit on the chilly side this year, but it was still nice and sunny for outdoor games. Potato sack races anyone?Randy and I whooping the youngins.Eric and Kodi chilling out.Ma and Pa went gangsta style.In an attempt to escape reality, I decided to sew Eric's and my costume this year. Elena was Alice in Wonderland. Eric was the Mad Hatter and I was the Queen of Hearts. Not to shabby considering my lack of sewing experience, but I admit Eric bailed me out at some key areas on the dress.

Top Sail Island Vacation

We took the whole family vacation to Top Sail Island, North Carolina and rented a house. Elena enjoyed playing in the sand.
Luc enjoyed going into the ocean with his boogie board.
Elena is a mermaid and Luc is an Indy car. Elena calls these sand blankets.

Here's the whole group!
