Christmas Day 2008


......Slobbery, who me?!


Christmas morning we woke up with a few slobbery kisses from Miss B and hearing that Paul and Kim were on their way... dinner would be around 3pm so the cooking in the kitchen began.


I don't remember what this was, but I am sure it was really good!


Joel helping his mom in the kitchen, what a guy!




Michael, the middle brother, took pride in taking out the gizzards.
Way to go Mike!





As everyone else was in the kitchen, Bailey and I were enjoying the music and ambiance in the living room.





Then ..... I taunted her to open a present......


....and Joel joined in too. Bailey loves opening presents.... what dog doesn't, right?


Oh Look! It was a Monkey in the bag!! Let's keep the arms attached Bailey!


We took a break from the morning to sit on Santa Joel's lap and tell him all of our hopes and dreams.


Karen provided us with great themes this Christmas.... (once I find the "quotes" she gave us in our "To File" pile.... I will fill those in here.)

Nerd games were played....
beer was consumed.....

.... and Emma won our hearts oh so soon!





Scotch and merriment were had by all.....Our 2008 Christmas turned out to be a BALL!

Christmas Eve 2008

We then celebrated Christmas Eve after a beautiful candle-lit service at Karen's beautiful abode!! It was complete with amazing desserts and the fabulous "slush" that Joel's mom provides every year!!! Hmmmmmm...... and that was just the beginning of the great food for days to come.





Christmas with the Koepps!!!



We arrived the 23rd after a nine hour drive. Bailey, the family Irish Terrier was so thrilled by our arrival, she needed a nap. :-)
