Christmas 2009





Once again this Christmas was the "BEST Christmas EVER!"
 
We had our annual Newbold Christmas party in honor of Troy this year.  It was a really nice evening and I learned a lot about Troy from his siblings, things that I never knew.  And of course Uncle Santa was there!  
Then we had our traditional Christmas Eve and my parents' house where Santa came to visit and the Pajama Elf, and then we did the BEST Christmas story, the kids were so cooperative and quiet it was really nice!   

We had lots of angels this year, Emily, Megan and Courtney was also the star (see she is holding it!) Josh, Tyler, Zach and Tanner were the 3 wise men and a shephard, Lindsey was Mary and she is holding baby Jesus who was Julieanna this year, and Joey was our little Joseph. Everyone was so adorable.

the kids all loved their pajamas!  

Something that my mom did that was new this year is they set up the sound system and she handed out a piece of paper to groups of people, the letters spelled out Christmas, then each group had to come up with a Christmas song that started with the letter that they had.  That was so fun!  The grandkids had a blast singing in the microphones!


Christmas morning was wonderful!  Aunt Nancy came and spent the night with us again, which we all really enjoy and for Christmas this year she made everyone their own special towel!  


Zach loves to buy us presents every year and just like last year he bought me another beautiful ring!! 



Here are the kids opening some of their presents.






Here is what Troy got!


Christmas was wonderful and we all enjoyed each other's company this year as we pondered on the real reason for Christmas!
