Christmas Morning

This year for Christmas we headed up to The Roberts'. Here is the traditional Christmas morning picture. Next year this picture will look totally different because the entire Roberts clan will be home for Christmas. Look at all those presents in the background, we were sopiled!

Medallion

If I haven't mentioned it Matt is work for a lady doing concrete for a year. She is great and this has given us the opportunity to work on the business and get some clientele accumulated. So for Christmas we gave Matt's parents a concrete medallion.

It was beautiful but we knew that biggest challenge was going to be getting it to their house. On our load up we had 5 people in the car (Matt's Sister Lorie had been visiting) plus all the Christmas presents and luggage so Matt and Randy hosted the 450 pound medallion to our roof the morning we left.

There wasn't any problems getting there but the problem was getting it off. It made for some interesting pictures.

Mary

Keeley, being the only grandchild except Brinley at Grammie and Grandpa's house got to play Mary as we read the Christmas Story Christmas Eve. She loved it. She loved the attention. She loved the hair piece. She loved everything about it. To this day we still have to play Mary a couple times a week. Not a bad person to try and emulate in my opinion.

Christmas Cuties

So, here it is my atempt to catch up before busy season hits again.

These two made two very cute girls all dressed up in their Christmas Dresses.
Brinley adores her older sister (more to come on that.)

Santa 2010

In true Roberts (former Conner) tradition, I wanted to share this years Santa photo and story. I love this tradition because I get to see my family change over the years.

2010Keeley ran right up to Santa this year and got there before either Matt or I so Santa helped her onto his knee. She promptly sat on his lap and instantly started telling him what she wanted for Christmas. Her list: a Zhu- Zhu Pet, a barbie (pink or purple), and a hammer. Then she continued to tell Santa all sorts of things. After they were ready with the camera I set Brinley on his lap to try and avoid any crying but she adored him. She just wanted to stare at him and was all smiles. Once they shook the sleigh bells she turned her attention to the camera. And Snap! Santa thought they were pretty cool too and had all sorts of question for us and the girls. Then Keeley gave him a kiss and a hug, Santa kissed her on the head and she hoped down to get her coloring book. We gathered everything up to go and then turned to find Keeley back on Santas lap. She just couldn't get enough. The magic of Christmas makes me smile.
