Christmas Day 2009 in Utah!

We had a great Christmas at the Tom and Linda Holmans. Things started Christmas Eve with a Mexican Fiesta compliments of Grandma Linda. She fixed the fiesta Christmas Eve, brunch for Christmas morning with a quishe, waffles, bacon, etc. Then she fixed dinner with shrimp cocktails, ham, two types of potatoes, grape salad, and two types of pie. All this while she was really sick with a cold. Grandma Linda is a trooper! And none of us got sick so she did it all without infecting any of us. Here is Madison on Christmas Eve taking her turn on Beatles' Rock Band.
Christmas Eve and the Young kids are all in their new pajamas.
Josh getting ready to open a present. He is a Xango man as you can see.
Kristy was very surprised when she got an Ipod Touch! Here she is just discovering that is what she got. The most amazing part is that Josh kept it secret!
Logan hot the Beatles' Anthology. We have already watched 3 of them.
Grandpa Tom with Sgt Pepper album--he got 5 Beatles' DVDs! How can you beat that? The interesting thing is that they had all been opened already...hmm. Grandma Linda loved her Snuggie and she doesn't care what anyone says or how much they laugh--it's warm!



We had brunch and dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Holmans. It was good food and fun to be all together.





I think Ty is lobbying for the Victrolla. Grandpa Holman is showing Ty how it works while Aunt Jane looks on.

Logan entertaining Sam and Connor.

We had a great Christmas! All of our children were at our house for Christmas and we talked to Matt, Jenny, Amy, Blake, and (the next day) to Tot by Skype. How can a holiday be better!?

We started Christmas early buying the Beatles Rock Band for Wii. Josh and Logan are really rockin' out! We are just waiting for the rest of the kids and grandkids to join the band!
