On Christmas Day 2010

Christmas Day was spent at my parents' house this year.  We opened presents and then enjoyed a delicious meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing!

The stockings mom made for our family...two extras this year!

I love fireplaces...especially at Christmas time!

Tom and Dad stuffing the bird.

Owen and James are excited for Christmas!

Sophie loved the sleeping bag that Nini and Pop Pop got for her!

We are getting Mom's childhood bike fixed as her Christmas/Birthday present.  

Mom made a memory game for Sophie for Christmas.  Here, she is holding up a picture of Uncle Tom.

Tom and James in their stocking caps!

Aunt Janeil and Grandma Mangan joined us for dinner on Christmas Day.  Owen was happy to see them!

Like Pop Pop like grandson...

Taking a "nap" in their sweaters.

What a great Christmas!

On Christmas Eve

This year, we spent Christmas Eve at Kara and Andy's house.  We had some yummy appetizers and enjoyed each other's company.  Unfortunately, Christina was sick with the flu and wasn't able to celebrate with us on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.  But we were glad she was feeling well enough to see her later in the week.

James...hoping Santa brings him something good for Christmas.

This is the first Christmas in our new house!

On a Rees Baby Shower

On November 27, 2010, Tom's family planned a beautiful baby shower for the Rees side of the family.  It was so wonderful to see everyone.

The shower was held at Beth and Marty's house.  (Tom's sister and brother-in-law).  Here is a peek at some of the decorations.

There were lots of yummy treats including breakfast casseroles, a delicious cheese ball, and cake!

Lots of family members and friends were able to come!  Some from out of state!

We received a lot of very nice gifts for Brees including handmade gifts such as a mobile, blankets, bibs, and burp cloths. 

 Tom, Brees, and I are very lucky!  A big thank you to everyone!
