2010 Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. We are so blessed to have been able
to share it with ALL our family.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

On Christmas Eve Day we gathered at the Torres home and enjoyed a great Mexican lunch. David made us posole, the most wonderful Mexican soup!

1st present.... surprise, surprise.... new pajamas!
All 11 grand kids showing off their special gift, a Christmas ornament made of wood from Jerusalem.
The most important activity... The Nativity!
Starring: 11 grand kids
Narrator: PapaThe grand kids love this! We have 2 new participates this year, Brinley was baby Jesus and Bladen was the cutest little shepherd.

How many "Pitchers" does it take to build a SNOWMAN with his parts scattered about!?!?

Candice made and brought this fun game, teams building a snowman with pvc pipe.

As another year draws to a close and we celebrate our Savior's birth, we reflect on the many blessings that are ours. We are so grateful for the many "simple pleasures" we enjoy! May we all keep the spirit of Christmas in our heart and in our actions through out the new year.

♥ Connie
