Christmas 2010

Braxton helping roll dough for Christmas Eve Dinner.

Braxton at the tubing hill at Bogus Basin with Mom and Dad. He had a blast!

Just some of the stuff Braxton hauled off. If he gets bored anytime soon, he is not trying real hard to have fun.

Teagan had fun opening his gifts, but he still was somewhat more interested in the wrapping and boxes.

MSR Snowshoes just like Mom and Dad's!

Braxton was excited to get some new movies. I'm sure we will all be forced to watch them over and over and over.

Seriously...How cute is this kid?


Christmas has come and gone. We had our "Ukranian Chrismas Eve" meal, which involved cooking most of the day while Braxton and Teagan played with new toys. They both even enjoyed the meal, or they at least tried it all. The menu included Borsch, Pedaheh, Halobtsi, and Halibut. If you are unsure of what the heck you just read, then you have never had a holiday meal with Grandma Duma. The house has smelled like her's for the past two days, which makes it quite difficult to not miss "home". The boys were spoiled as usual. We thank everyone for all the gifts but mostly feel thankful we are all happy and healthy. We certainly miss not being close to family this time of year, but we are happy to have each other. The boys keep us busy enough to not have to think about the great distances between us and our exteneded families. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas, as our's was the best yet. The holidays just keep getting better as we are able to pass on past traditions and create new ones with the boys. Take care and Happy New Year!
