Christmas 2011

Almost a month late...My sister Donna and her sweet family came in town a few days before Christmas, and we girls got together at Dolly's house for our annual and highly planned, eagerly anticipated, Christmas cookie bake off! No kidding! This is big time folks. If you're a Reber female~ YOU ARE THERE!

My mother, a.k.a. Florance Nightingale, was there, just didn't make the picture.

(Side note for memories sake: Christmas 2010 my mother was REALLY sick days before Christmas and needed medical attention. My dad was so sweet in taking care of her! Well this year, Christmas 2011, it was the opposite and my dad was really sick days before Christmas and needed medical attention. It was mom's turn to take special care of him. Neat how that works!)

My sister Dawn surprised us this year and brought us all red "Merry Christmas" aprons! Thanks Dawn!

A posed picture, The Director's idea!

My beautiful Maddie Girl!

Christmas Eve at my parents home...

We grew by one this past year. Sweet Eleanore Ruth at the top! Feels like we've always had her in the family!

Margaux getting the first of many Hello Kitty gifts this Christmas.

Sweet baby girl!

When my parents open this gift from Dawn, the grand boys went CRAZY!

Christmas morning at our house.

Margaux and her Hello Kitty Razor.

Jane and the Dora the Explorer kitchen. She told Margaux every time she saw the commercial on TV, that Santa was gonna bring it to her...but now rarely plays with it--bummer for Santa!


Super cool! Boys can never have enough jersey's...I guess?

New boots for Maddie and Margaux, who told me every day before Christmas ,"I want boots just like Maddie has."

#1 - laughing about Santa being bummed regarding the Dora kitchen. Don't you just hate that?

#2 - Loved seeing Harry's expression when he opened his X box. So cute and put a big smile on my face. I love great reactions!

Good recap of another great CHristmas.
