CHRISTMAS EVE 2009!!!!!!

It started a long time ago before Nancy and I were married. I grew up with divorced parents thus I had lots of grandparents. The negative side was they had to be visited at Christmas. My memory has always told me that it was January the third before I had the time to actually play with my gifts.

When we were first married we would visit the Tritschler side of the family on Christmas Eve and the McCoy side on Christmas day. With the birth of Terri in 1961 that all changed. Nancy and our family have celebrated Christmas eve at our house along with Christmas day until Sherri took over Christmas day in 2001.

A portion of the group that was there. This Christmas our friend Jason H. joined in our festivities.

Kayleigh opening one of her presents.

Donovan had presents to open and he sometimes had help from James.

Todd was there but it was hard taking photos of someone opening cards and counting his loot. Todd will be spending next semester in Italy so money was the gift this year.

We hope everyone had a joyous Christmas and will have a prosperous 2010.!!!!!
