Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas.  I only got pictures of a few instances (as always) but some is better than none.  


We made an awesome gingergread house.  Details include a royal icing snowman made by Mom, a custom candy cane fence by Laura, a jelly fruits-lined path by Braxton, and a pretzel log pile made by yours truly.

Christmas morning pictures:




Braxton opening his stocking.


Laura opening her nice stainless-steel cookie sheets. Jeff seems mad that Laura is now going to make tons of delicious cookies and confections, hmm...



That's Jen behind the card.

Braxton got an awesome Bronco's jersey,



and a super-warm Bronco's blanket that Grandma (Mom) made him.

It was a wonderful Christmas.  James got me a sewing machine (!!!) and a food processor (!!!)


I made two skirts like this for my nieces, Misha and Maddie, for Christmas.  I am in love with these skirts.  I wish I was 4 so I could wear one.

Those skirts are DARLING!! What a fun aunt you must be. It's really fun to see the Bateman clan again-- I can't believe how old Braxton is!! He was just a cute little baby back in college... Crazy!
