Christmas

Christmas 2010 was great for Jeanette and I.  We got to spend a good bit of time with family.  On Christmas eve Sean, Kaylyn and Nicholas came into town.  We spent the evening at the Mitchell's with the traditional roast beef meal and opened presents with the family.

The following morning we went to visit my parents for Christmas breakfast and to exchange gifts.

More sleeping, opening gifts is exhausting
