Christmas 2012

 I never get pictures of me by the Christmas tree,  Melissa our youngest daughter were here so she got my camera and HERE WE GO!   Pictures of me and also pictures of me and Jeff.  Christmas Eve 2012.



 So now for pictures of them,  our youngest daughter, Melissa, husband Tim and son Ansir.  It was easier said then done,  I bet i took a good doz pictures but I did get a few good ones   some were quite interesting!


 Jeff got a binder filled with Melissa and Tims music so he could play with them.  Here he is trying out one of the songs with his mandolin.
 Tim got  his gifts from us in this cute Christmas mail box.
 Even Baxter dog got to open a gift.  It was delicious treats of-course!
 My big gift from Jeff!   YES, I actually tore the paper!
WOW!   A magic bullet to make fast, great smoothies and many other things with.  
 Ansir got a coulple sets of ear phones since he goes through them  way too fast. LOL
 Hey, Jeff found some very special paper for this gift,  he must think I am his princess!
 I can't let a Christmas go by without remembering and thinking of my brother.  Notice the special ornament on the tree in his memory.  I know without a doubt that Christmas is very special in heaven.
 Jeff opening his Naughty or Nice gift.  Box after box, smaller and smaller.
  I think he was convinced it was coal.

 His gift was a 250 piece puzzle, the smallest puzzle made and even comes with  tweezers to help with assembling it.  It was named Naughty or Nice. LOL
 Melissa and Tim opening their gift from Grandma and grandpa, A nice picture of Jesus with the cross carved in marble and in a frame.
 Answer loves tea and thus he was thrilled to getseveral kinds of tea and a tea holder from his grandma and grandpa Sutton.
 He was excited about the soft fleece lounge pants from Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Hanssen.
 Jeff and Melissa made some beautiful music together on Christmas eve.

 Ansir with his dog Trixie on Christmas morning.   Below he is checking out all the goodies in his Christmas stocking.

 YES!  We did have a white Christmas and here Ansir helps his papa shovel some of the 5 inches new snow.

 My cousin Melissa Haugen came over on Christmas day after Church and she loved Trixie.  I think the feelings were mutual.  My next blog may be dedicated to her with Trixie.
 We can't leave out out grand-puppy Rosco.  He is getting older but still runs around like crazy and begs Nana for treats.  and yes,  Nana just has to give him a few treats.
 Melissa Haugen opening her gift.  She loved the old fashioned 6 pack of glass bottles with coke cola. It was very fun to have her spend part of her Christmas day with us.

 Papa measuring his tall grandson.   They just grow up so fast.
Christmas evening we enjoyed a fun game of LIFE ON THE FARM!   It was a great day to celebrate Jesus birth with 10 AM Church,  a nice meal of ham, potatoes, corn, rolls  beans and pie, the whole week of great time with our daughter and family and my cousin Melissa spending time with us.
I hope that your Christmas was great and filled with God's great love in sending Jesus.  Let us forever celebrate that love.
