Christmas Morning 2006


Christmas morning finally arrived and with a pristine and crisp day ahead the wonderful celebration officially began.

The tree bore colorfully wrapped gifts all around it which was certainly a most inviting scene for our sweet angel daughters.

Surprisingly enough however they slept well through 9:00am but once they awoke it was a time of smiles and joy as they unwrapped their many gifts. What a joy it is for Kristy and I to watch our beautiful girls enjoy the same experience we had when we were their age. It certainly provides a wonderful perspective in life to see Christmas through the eye's of a parent. The most wonderful time of the year, the best for last indeed!


After the gifts had all been unwrapped it was time to head to Eric & Jodie's for a bountiful Christmas Breakfast. They provided us a real spread of traditional home style breakfast items which we certainly enjoyed. This time of year is so perfect for family gatherings and this breakfast was a real integral part of our holiday experience. Family gathering around a smorgasbord of tasty food, now you can't beat that!

One item worthy of noting is Eric in his apron, he almost looked like a natural in the kitchen with that thing on. I think he really enjoyed being able to don that thing and cook up breakfast for all of us. Good times, for sure!

Later on in the afternoon I assisted our "Santa" with a visit to another family. I must say this guy sure loves playing the big man. Gary really loves sharing that Christmas joy to all children. I found it to be a real honor to be able to drive Chris Kringle around in his modernized red sleigh.



Santa made his visit with complete success and so the red suite will be retired for awhile but not for too long, I am sure.

Another great Christmas.........
