Family Christmas 2010

Our Last Christmas without Zella was a blast. She was already getting gifts!!! I think we might have a little spoilt child on our hands...

Our Christmas morning...next year Santa will be making an appearance...

Santa came to Mimi's for all the grand kids...here is Addy's pile...

There was one for Lily...

...and Jake must have been good too!!

All our stockings...turns out Santa didn't forget anyone

The Owen Christmas tree and traditional train set up

The 2010 family gift...a karaoke machine!!

The White Elephant 2010 proved to be quite a fiasco...it will forever be the year the Nicholsons went down!!!

...What to pick...

Its tradition to wear your PJ's to the house Christmas morning...here we are on Week 36

Grandma Scott's last non-christmas tree. The Wickit enjoyed his own personal mini tree...I enjoyed the traditional Pies!!

It's a Tiki Christmas

We celebrated the Tiki Christmas 2010  with good food, fun, lots of football losses and the annual Secrete Santa...

Whats better than one Prime Rib and Bottle of Jameson...

Two Prime Ribs and Bottles of Jameson...

Zella and I pretty much polished off those green and red cookies

The beauty of being pregnant, getting to be in line after the kidos plates are made.

R.D. and I 1 handed style

Awe the Tiki Christmas Tree 2010

R.D. wearing his Z for the Zell-a-Phant

A gift from my secrete Santa (Steve) this might be in Z's room

The best ornament ever...the knocked up couple 2010-thanks Stephanie

R.D. got Black Ops...this is his "uh, can we go home now so I can play face?"

Lamaze

We might have left more of a mark on Lamaze class then it left on us. Our Laughter thru the fake contractions might have distracted others but with memories like R.D. whispering "This is gonna Hurt like a bitch" to the grape being attack by ants in the freezing cold room to Zella thinking now was her time to escape,  a few moments had to be documented...

IT WAS COLD. The blanket was suppose to be for the floor, but Eskimo R.D. appeared

If this photo could move, it would. She was looking for an exit.

...and yea I wasn't lying about the ant covered grape. Here is nature at work.
