Christmas Weekend Festivities

Christmas Weekend 2006, started off with our immediate family gift opening at my mom and dad's house on Friday night. We had a great time, and all received such fun and nice gifts!

Here, Halle admires her new barretts (she actually got three different kinds!) - she LOVES putting 'pity' things in her hair, and we've been using her barretts virtually every night after we get home!

Here Brendan shows us his cool new Jeep from Grandpa David and Grandma ConnieSaturday night, we went to Grandma Marion's 80th Birthday Party in Britton - (see the next post for pictures). Sunday was Christmas Eve, and we headed to my Grandpa Bill and Grandma Margie's house to celebrate.

Brendan knows the drill, and needs no assistance at all in ripping into his presents...
Halle is impatiently waiting for me to get the box open - she wants her....
BABY! She LOVES babies.
