Christmas 2009
Christmas this year was a group effort. I was finishing up in school and working on clinical hours. Without the help of our girls and Tim’s leading we probably wouldn’t have had a Christmas.
Grandpa made breakfast for whoever showed up: French toast with peanut butter, bananas and syrup.
And cinnamon rolls
The kids set up the tree and the little ones had a ball doing the decorating. Next year only plastic ornaments.
Markus was very meticulous.
Grandpa helped with peanut M&Ms.
After all that work it was time to play, and laugh…(Wii hula hooping!!)
…and take naps.
Well, no napping took place until everyone was separated, but they sure had fun trying to sleep.
Notice all the quilts. A family saying, “You can never have too many quilts.”

Coffee break–how did I miss getting Jon & Mark in the pictures?
It was a great day…simple, fun and easy.
I missed David, Katie and Bella as well as our sisters, their families and our parents. It was a reminder to enjoy the simple times in life, to savor the moments and to keep it simple.

I can’t get over how the grandkids have grown!
What fun you had! Our day was good but quiet. We thought back to years gone by. We even pulled out the old slides. The girls in matching nightgowns and Tim in PJ’s and wondered where all the years have gone. It was fun to see first a Christmas with Robbie and then the next with David, Mark and finally Jon. Anyway before I shed anymore tears we love you all and you are forever in our heart.

Looks like a wonderful Christmas! The best memories are made when a family pulls together and makes life special! And I agree – you can never have too many quilts!
@QuiltingGG - It is amazing how quickly the years have passed. The little boys enjoyed hanging our angel ornaments this year…the growing collection is yet another sign of the passing years. Blessed memories…Love you.
Thanks so much for posting photos of the family. Fun times with a growing family of little ones making precious memories. So good to see that David, Katie and Bella were able to be there…they look great.
