Merry Christmas 2010

Christmas at the McPherson's.

This year we had our Christmas celebration at our son's home. We have done our gift giving on Christmas eve for as long as I can remember, but it is really a convenient thing now, since DIL Kim has several family celebrations and having ours at a set time every year helps to keep things a little less complicated.

Kim mad a lovely dinner for us, and we all contributed, but she did most of the work, and the cooking. I really appreciated it, this year I was just not feeling as energetic. So it was quite a nice change.

They have a beautiful home and had it decorated so nicely. This huge tree is in the living room.

 The beautiful fire place and mantel is in the family room.

Get a load of this loot.

 We let the dogs go first, Tucker and Max and Diesel had fun opening their gifts, too.

Pappy gets to start this year, oldest to youngest.

 Kimmy got a pretty package

 Billy got some good stuff too.

I think Dawn got exactly what she asked for............

I managed to get this one, forlorn shot of Bailey.

And here is the mess that we usually create,,,,,,, quite a lot of trash.

There were some members missing. Our daughter and her family went to SC to spend time with Dan's family. I am hoping that we will get to see them soon.

Time to rest up as the year 2010 draws to a close.
