Christmas Eve 2009

Thursday evening we had my family Christmas. It's always been tradition with my family to open gifts on Christmas Eve, this was when my grandparents were alive. We have continued to do this with my parents. Ella and Owen got so many neat toys and so, so many clothes. Ella got her "baby" bow and "baby" necklace she asked Santa for. She was VERY happy. We have been very blessed!!! Thank you all of ALL of our gifts!

My dad had a pretty bad fall the week before Christmas and broke his nose, lost ALOT of blood due to blood thinners and being stubborn, on top of all of that he was having some heart issues. He was admitted into the hospital on 12/19/09 and discharged on 12/24/09. He's not in the pics, because he looked pretty beat up, he was there...very weak and sore. :(
