Our Christmas celebration update.

Our Christmas lunch went okay, the pot roast turned out well as did the salad and corn. The potatoes, however were way too salty I even followed the recipe. Later I even looked back a the recipe I followed on line and it was exactly what I did. The rolls burned, I really wish I could get an oven one of these years that doesn't burn most of what I put in it. It take me for ever to learn the oven then it is time to move. The cake was too crumbly, but at least it tasted well. :) Here is a picture of our place settings on our table.





On Saturday Michael's family came over so we could celebrate Christmas together. They are all leaving for Iowa on Saturday so this was the only weekend that would work for us all. All week Joshua said he didn't want Saturday to come, I don't think he understood all that was going to happen. Our family arrived around 9:00am, Joshua was so happy to see them pull up and I knew he would be.

They brought in way too many presents with them; from them, some of our friends in Gillette, and other family. It was crazy all the presents that ended up around our tree. Joshua was very excited to open all of his gifts and play with everything. He made out pretty well this year. He got some more train tracks, some train cars, a doodle pad, a Thomas the Train computer, Some clothes, a tool kit, and a play kitchen. I think that is all. He loves everything and he plays with everything every day. Thank you every one for all the gifts. You really don't have to go all out like that, but thank you.

Joshua had so much fun opening presents he found an empty box and would put his blankets in it. He really wanted to put it under the tree but it wouldn't fit. Then he would open it up and show us his present. He is so cute, and has such a wonderful personality.

Here are some pictures of the event.

It was so nice having everyone over for the day but it all went way too fast. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts and company.
