We had another wonderful Christmas this year. I was all prepared this year to fully decorate right after Thanksgiving. Since we had the house this year, I decided to go all out. I even did two Christmas trees.
The first tree is real and is decorated in traditional red and gold, with all our family ornaments on it. The train went under this one as well. For the record...I did not knock it over once this year ha ha. 
The second tree (which is artificial) is my long-awaited Martha Stewart tree. I love the family tree, with its mishmosh of ornaments but I have always wanted one of those theme trees. I did it in all silvers, blues, and a small splash of green with lots of ribbon and white lights.
The blue and silver theme continued in the backside of the house
And the stockings were hung in the front of the house. Even Molly got a stocking this year.
We finished the celebration at home and then made the trek to Horseheads for Christmas.
There we saw our families and had many holiday celebrations.
The kids said their prayers on Christmas Eve
And of course there was lots of silliness
This is what happens when you get family together with way too much sugar.
Christmas morning came and we all opened presents.
Gracie got a new babydoll
Natalie fainted from all the excitement.
And there was lots of eating. Here Nolan demonstrates that proper way to eat a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
Yummy!
Merry Christmas to all!

Here's a cute video of the kids making Christmas cookies. As a disclaimer....Kendall is not drinking beer in the video. We couldn't find a rolling pin and a Coors Light can was the next best thing I could find. Enjoy!

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL...LOVED THE TWO CHRISTMAS TREES...LOVE TO EACH, GREE AND POP POP
Merry Christmas Dennis and family. And Happy New Year! Now that is all over.....how about a couple of races?
Loved the Christmas decorations. Teresa, you did not get that gene from me. Remember, we had a fake tree for 2 years before I found out. Your trees look awesome. Don't water the artificial one, trust me, I speak from experience. Loved the pictures and the video. So glad you were both able to be home for Christmas. It wouldn't have been the same without you. Love you both.....Mom
