The step kids came over yesterday for a gathering for the first time at our house. So Ronda and I got the house festive and prepared.
Thomas Kincaid special edition bible opened to Luke 2:8-12
Loki did her part… so did Jessie the cat, which was lay around and look cute… I couldn’t find Jessie as she was doing her job so well, elsewhere… under or behind something. 
The manger scene
Ronda working very hard in the kitchen…
The kids opening their gifts… Sophia went first, she was a bundle of energy!
Carissa and Bryan went next, how does this thing open?!?
You take the pictures from any angle! Tayler and Matthew went next. Thorin, Sam and Amy watch, Thorin has (ack!! I can’t remember her name, I think it was Mema? They are dog sitting her) tucked into his shirt.
Then Ronda went, Sophia helped her, it was a beautiful cross ornament for the tree.
I got some great pictures of the kids after a good dose of sugar!
Everybody had a great time, we watched Paul and Christmas Vacation, well, we watched parts of them anyway! Everybody was hopped up on high octane cookies and such so not much watching going on.
Have a Merry Christmas everybody, time to head into the kitchen and help with the dishes!
