Macnab Family Christmas

We did the Macnab Family Christmas at my house last night. We did it a week early this year since Alex and Laura need to go see Laura's family too! It was good food and fun. Dinner was yummy. Baked potatoes, a salad (from Laura who makes superb salads), and a roast from my madre, which was excellent! I can't wait to get home tonight and eat the leftovers!

In March, we are taking a family trip to Leadville, CO., so I bought Alex, Allen, and The Boy matching bearded hats. They were pretty darn funny. I mean, they are funny but will also be great for things like snowmobiling and skiing to keep the wind off the face.

Allen and I are going to redo the bedroom soon, so Allen bought me the bedding I wanted with a promise of a fresh paint job! So I am thrilled with that. I also got some new sunglasses that I needed since mine broke at the Cervantes 2010 Pub Crawl! Allen got some jeans, some shoes, some hats, a jacket, and some house shoes.

Now! We have to clean up this mess because the Roberson Family Christmas will be at our house on Friday night. And we will do this all again!

The first thing Alex opened was a dinosaur bath towel. We put it on and moved on to the next thing!

Alex loves "How to Train your Dragon" so he got some action figures from the movie

Laura and Alex gave Monster a Toy Story train toy. His two favorite things combined!

Laura got a nifty shower cap, which she promptly modeled for us

Rubicon was trying to tell her mom and dad that something (or should I say, someone?) is missing at their house.......

Just for one brief moment, these two curled up together and relaxed. It was too cute.

Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope it's merry one!
